You pull the plunger back on a pinball machine. The spring is pulled back 25 cm from its rest position and has a spring constant

of 78 N/m. What speed will a 50.0 g ball in front of the spring reach when the spring has returned to its rest position?

Answer:

9.9 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

length (L) = 25cm = 25 / 100 = 0.25m

spring constant (K) = 78 N/m

mass of the ball (m) = 50g = 50 / 1000 = 0.05 kg

At maximum compression all energy is potential energy and at maximum velocity all energy is kinetic energy, and from the conservation of energy the two energy must be he same. Therefore

potential energy at max compression = kinetic energy at max velocity

(1/2) x K x L^2 = (1/2) x m x V^2

(1/2) x 78 x 0.25^2 = (1/2) x 0.05 x V^2

V^2 = 97.6

V =  9.9 m/s

When driving a Toyota avensis car along a straight road for 16.5km at
Vitek1552 [10]

The average velocity of the whole journey will be total distance covered divided by the total time. It will be approximately equal to 8 m/s. The right answer is option B

<h2>VELOCITY</h2>

Velocity is the distance travelled in a specific direction. While the average velocity of the whole journey will be total distance covered divided by the total time

When driving a Toyota avensis car along a straight road for 16.5km at

50km/h,

The velocity = 50 km/h

Distance = 16.5 km

Use the speed formula to calculate time.

Speed = distance / time

Time = distance / speed

Time = 16.5 / 50

Time = 0.33 s

If over the next 20min, you walked another 2.5km further along the road for a petrol station, Then,

average velocity = Total distance covered divided by total time taken.

Where

The time t = 20/60 = 0.333 h

Total time = 0.33 + 0.3333

Total time = 0.6633333

Total distance = 16.5 + 2.5

Total distance = 19 km

Average velocity = 19 / 0.66333

Average Velocity = 28.64 km/h

Now convert Km/h to m/s

(28.6432 x 1000) / 3600

286432 / 3600

7.956m/s

Therefore, the average velocity of the whole journey from beginning of the drive to the arrival at the filling station will be approximately 8 m/s

Frequency is measured in units called?
irina1246 [14]
The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.
