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

Step2247 [10]
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2.5 times higher then that on the Earth

Explanation:

Gravity is higher on Jupiter then on Earth because Jupiter is much bigger, because of it's mass compared to Earth the gravity on Jupiter is about 2.4 - 2.5 times higher then Earths surface gravity which means a rock on Jupiter would be around "2.4 - 2.5 times as heavier then it would be on Earth."

Hope this helps.

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
Alina [70]

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.

According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.

According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.

since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done

Work done = Fs cos (theta)

If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion

theta =   90 °

cos (90 ) = 0

Work done  = 0

since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change
