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

A force in the +x-direction with magnitude ????(x) = 18.0 N − (0.530 N/m)x is applied to a 6.00 kg box that is sitting on the ho
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

First, we calculate the work done by this force after the box traveled 14 m, which is given by:

W=\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} {F(x)} \, dx \\W=\int\limits^{14}_{0} ({18N-0.530\frac{N}{m}x}) \, dx\\W=[(18N)x-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{x^2}{2}]^{14}_{0}\\W=(18N)14m-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{(14m)^2}{2}-(18N)0+(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{0^2}{2}\\W=252N\cdot m-52N\cdot m\\W=200N\cdot m

Since we have a frictionless surface, according to the the work–energy principle, the work done by all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle, that is:

W=\Delta K\\W=K_f-K_i\\W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}

The box is initially at rest, so v_i=0. Solving for v_f:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2(200N\cdot m)}{6kg}}\\v_f=\sqrt{66.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}

3. Pedro threw a penny into a fountain and it sank to the bottom. Which of the following would explain
____ [38]

Answer:

its B because we're not talking about mass even tho most people would have chosen A cuz it says mass and u they would think its apart of density but if ur testing to see density ur figuring out which object will sink and which one will float so da reason why da penny snuck it cuz da density is greater den da water and copper has a better chance of sinking den floating so dats why its B I hope dis helps :3
