A toy gun uses a spring to project a 4.5-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu

n is 13 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.035 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.8 cm for this launch? (Assume the projectile is in contact with the barrel for the full 13 cm.)

Answer:

1.93 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass = 4.5g = 0.0045kg

Spring constant = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = 13 cm = 0.013m

Frictional force = 0.035N

Compression = 5.8 cm = 0.058m

First, we find the P. E. stored in the spring:

P. E. = ½*k*x²

P. E. = ½ * 8 * 0.058² = 0.013J

Then, we find the work done by the frictional force while the sphere is leaving the barrel of the gun:

Work = Force * distance

The distance here is the length of the barrel.

Work = 0.035 * 0.13 = 0.0046 J

The kinetic energy of the sphere can now be found:

K. E. = P. E. - Work done

K. E. = 0.013 - 0.0046 = 0.0084J

We can now find the speed using the formula for K. E.:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

0.0084 = ½ * 0.0045 * v²

v² = 0.0084/0.00255 = 3.733

=> v = 1.93 m/s

Answer: v = 4.97 m/s

Explanation: mass of spring (m) = 4.5g = 4.5/1000 =0.0045 kg

Spring constant (k) = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = distance traveled when projectile was launched = 13cm = 0.13 m

Frictional force = 0.035 N

Extension (x) = 5.8cm = 0.058 m

Assuming the motion is of a constant acceleration, newton's laws of motion is valid

F - fr = ma

Where F = applied force that propelled the projectile = kx = 8×0.058 = 0.464 N

a = acceleration of object.

By substituting the parameters, we have

0.464 - 0.035 = 0.0045 a

0.429 = 0.0045 a

a = 0.429/0.0045

a = 95.3 m/s²

The bullet started from rest, hence initial velocity (u) equals zero.

To get the final velocity v, we use

v² = u² + 2aS, where S = length of barrel or distance covered by projectile.

v ² = 0² + 2(95.3)(0.13)

v² = 2(95.3)(0.13)

v² = 24.778

v = √24.778

v = 4.97 m/s

1. In a certain semiconducting material the charge carriers each have a charge of 1.6 x 10-19 C. How many are entering the semic
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The number of charges is 1.25 × 10¹⁰

Explanation:

Current is the amount of charge flowing through a conductor per second. The formula for current (I) is given as:

I = Q/t

Where Q is the charge flowing in coulombs and t is the time taken in seconds.

Given that I = 2.0 nA = 2 × 10⁻⁹ A and t = 1 sec

I = Q / t

Q = It =  2 × 10⁻⁹ × 1 =  2 × 10⁻⁹ C

Since each charge = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C, therefore:

The number of charges = 2 × 10⁻⁹ C / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1.25 × 10¹⁰

A cruise ship is having troubles with buoyancy. What is a reasonable solution? A. Increase the weight of the ship above water B.
Setler [38]

If a cruise ship is having troubles with buoyancy, then spread the weight of the ship over a greater volume.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Buoyancy is the upward thrusting phenomenon of water acting on any object immersed partially or fully in water body. Hence, it creates the buoyant forces that is inversely proportionate to the immersing body's density. If the immersing body's density is higher than the density of the immersing medium then the body will get completely immersed in the water.

Similarly, in case of less, the buoyant forces act on the body will prevent it from complete immersion and allow it to float on water. Mostly cruise ships and other navy vessels use this phenomenon to keep on floating on surface of water.

In the present condition, the solution for buoyancy problem faced by a cruise ship can be solved by decreasing the density of the ship. And the ship's density can be decreased by increasing the ship's volume or by spreading the ship's weight over a greater volume.
