A spring is used to launch a coffee mug. The 20cm long spring can be compressed by a maximum of 8cm. The mug has a mass of 500 g

. What kind of spring do you need to launch the mug at least 2 stories high (5 m) - as measured from the relaxed spring position - using the maximum compression?

Answer:

7664.06249 N/m

Explanation:

m = Mass of mug = 0.5 kg

x = Compression of spring = 0.08 m

h = Height of fall = 5 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The kinetic energy of the spring and potential energy of the fall are conserved

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{2mgh}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.81\times 5}{0.08^2}\\\Rightarrow k=7664.06249\ N/m

The spring constant of the spring is 7664.06249 N/m

A grocery shopper tosses a(n) 9.4 kg bag of rice into a stationary 19.9 kg grocery cart. The bag hits the cart with a horizontal
IRINA_888 [86]

The final speed of the cart and the bag is 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the bag and the cart must be conserved before and after the collision.

Mathematically:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 = 9.4 kg is the mass of the bag of rice

u_1 = 7.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the bag

m_2 = 19.9 kg is the mass of the cart

u_2 =0 m/s is the initial velocity of the cart (at rest)

v is the final combined velocity of the bag and the cart

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:  

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(9.4)(7.0)+0}{9.4+19.9}=2.2 m/s

Select the correct answer. A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a velocity of 16 ft/s. The building is 4
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The ball takes 5s to reach the ground

Explanation:

in order to solve this problem we use the kinematics equation with gravity as acceleration:

h=v_0t+1/2*gt^2

we replace the values

0=1/2*32t^2+16t-480

We solve this quadratic equation:

t=5s

t=-6s   (this solution has not physical sense)
