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

Answer:

I think the answer is a

Explanation:

for it to be accurate has be to exactly 0.9 rad

it is not precise because the answer she is getting is different everytime and not even close. For instance,

It would have been precise if she had gotten 0.37 rad in every attempt. or 0.89 every attempt...

A displacement vector 5 units long makes an angle of 67° with the x-axis. What is the horizontal component of displacement?
Harman [31]

Yo sup??

magnitude of original vector is 5 units.

angle made with x axis is 67°

horizontal component=5*cos67°

=5*0.4

=2 units (approx)

Therefore the correct answer is option B

Hope this helps

In which state of matter are water molecules measured as having the lowest temperature?
natali 33 [55]
Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
