A spring-loaded toy gun is used to launch a 12.0-g plastic ball. The spring which has a spring constant of 15.0 N/m is compresse

d 8.00 cm as the ball is pushed into the barrell. When the trigger is pulled the swing is released and shoots the ball back out horizontally. What is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 8.00 cm?

Answer:

the elastic potencial energy stored when the spring is compressed x=8 cm is K(x)= 0.048 J

Explanation:

since the work is related with the force through

W=∫F dx

for a spring of constant k :

F=k*x , where F= compression force, x= compression length

then for a compression from 0 until x

W=∫F dx = ∫ k*x dx =  k ∫x dx =1/2*k*x² - 1/2*k*0² = V(x) - V(0)

since the work depends only on the final value of compression and not on the process 1/2*k*x² represents the elastic potential energy V stored in the spring, then

V(0) = 1/2*k*0² = 0  

V(x) = 1/2*k*x²

when the spring is compressed x= 8 cm = 0.08m , the elastic potencial energy is

V (x) = 1/2*k*x² = 1/2 * 15 N/m* (0.08m)² = 0.048 J

Observe the given figure and find the the gravitational force between m1 and m2.​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, is approximately 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

The details of the given masses having gravitational attractive force between them are;

m₁ = 20 kg, r₁ = 10 cm = 0.1 m, m₂ = 50 kg, and r₂ = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂ is given by Newton's Law of gravitation as follows;

F =G \cdot \dfrac{m_{1} \cdot m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where;

F = The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

r₂ = 0.1 m + 0.15 m = 0.25 m

Therefore, we have;

F = 6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \ N \cdot m^2/kg \times \dfrac{20 \ kg\times 50 \ kg}{(0.1 \ m+ 0.15 \ m)^{2}} \approx 1.06789 \times 10^{-6} \ N

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, F ≈ 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

Aliun [14]

Answer:

If the grass in an ecosystem were to decrease, it would decrease the amount of food for the rabbits, causing their numbers to decrease. With fewer number of rabbits, means less food for snakes. With less snakes, means less food for the hawks.

A magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a single-turn circular coil. The magnitude of the field is changing, so that a
scoundrel [369]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to magnetic flux and induced voltage. This last expression understood as the variation of the magnetic flux over time and, in turn, the magnetic flux expressed as the variation of the magnetic field in a certain area.

Magnetic flux through the circular coil is given as

\Phi_C = B(\pi r^2)

The induced voltage is the change of the magnetic flux across the time, then

\epsilon_{emf,C} = \frac{B(\pi r^2)}{t}

At the same time the magnetic flux through the square coil would be given as,

\Phi_S = B(r^2)

And the induced voltage EMF will be

\epsilon_{emf,s} = \frac{B(r^2)}{t}

Equating both expression we have

\epsilon_{emf,s} = \frac{\epsilon_{emf,C}tr^2}{\pi r^2t}

\epsilon_{emf,s} = \frac{0.74V}{\pi}

\epsilon_{emf,s} = 0.23355V

Therefore the emf induced in the square coil is 0.23355V

¿Qué diferencia una magnitud fundamental de una derivada?
artcher [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Una magnitud fundamental es aquella que se define por si misma y es independiente de las demás (masa, tiempo, longitud, etc.). magnitud derivada. Una magnitud derivada es aquella que se obtiene mediante expresiones matemáticas a partir de las magnitudes fundamentales (densidad, superficie, velocidad).
