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

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles?
devlian [24]

Answer:

As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of the substance increases, the velocity increases which makes the movement of the particles to speed up. This causes the particles to increase. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Option (c) : 20°C

Explanation:

t(final) =  \frac{w1 \times t1 + w2 \times t2}{w1 + w2}

T(final) = 500* 10 + 100*70/600 = 20°C

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles
love history [14]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
