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

What benefits does preforming this investigation in the physical world have over the computer simulation?
mezya [45]

Explanation:

Can be safer and cheaper than the real world. Able to test a product or system works before building it. Can use it to find unexpected problems. Can speed things up or slow them down to see changes over long or short periods of time.

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?
topjm [15]
The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain

The right-hand rule predicts the direction of the force on a positively charged object moving in a gravitational field true fals
eimsori [14]
The statement above is FALSE.
The right hand rule is used in physics to predict the direction of the force on a charged object moving in a MAGNETIC FIELD. The right hand rule is used to relate the relationship between the magnetic field and the forces that are exerted on the moving objects in the field. Using the right hand rule, for a positively charged object that is moving in an electric field, the pointer finger will point in the direction the charged object is moving, the middle finger will point in the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force that is pushing the charged object.
