A bowling ball of mass m=1.7kg is launched from a spring compressed by a distance d=0.31m at an angle of theta=37 measured from

the horizontal. It is observed that the ball reaches a maximum height of h=4.9m, measured from the initial position of the ball. Let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the initial height of the bowling ball.
Part a) What is the spring constant k, in newtons per meter?

Part b) Calculate the speed of the ball, V0 in m/s, just after the launch.

Answer:

k = 1 700.7 N/m

v0 = 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Hello!

We can answer this question using conservation of energy.

The potential energy of the spring (PS) will transform to kinetic energy (KE) of the ball, and eventually, when the velocity of the ball is zero, all that energy will be potential gravitational (PG) energy.

When the kinetic energy of the ball is zero, that is, when it has reached its maximum heigh, all the potential energy of the spring will be equal to the potential energy of the gravitational field.

PS = (1/2) k x^2  <em>where x is the compresion or elongation of the spring</em>

PG = mgh

a)

Since energy must be conserved and we are neglecting any energy loss:

PS = PG

Solving for k

k = (2mgh)/(x^2) = ( 2 * 1.7 * 9.81 * 4.9 Nm)/(0.31^2 m^2)

k = 1 700.7 N/m

b)

Since the potential energy of the spring transfors to kinetic energy of the ball we have that:

PS = KE

that is:

(1/2) k x^2 = (1/2) m v0^2

Solving for v0

v0 = x √(k/m) = (0.31 m ) √( 1 700.7 N/m / 1.7kg)

v0 = 9.8 m/s^2

A package of aluminum foil contains 50. ft2 of foil, which weighs approximately 6.0 oz. Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. Wh
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Explanation:

Area = 50 ft^2 = 46451.5 cm^2

mass = 6 oz = 170.097 g

density = 2.70 g/cm^3

Let t be the thickness of foil in cm.

mass = volume x density

mass = area x thickness x density

170.097 = 46451.5 x t x 2.70

t = 1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Thus, the thickness of aluminium foil is 1.36 x 10^-3 cm.

What kind of light results when the total spectrum of refracted light is recombined? violet green white red?
ElenaW [278]
Hello
The final light will be white. In fact, each color of the visible spectrum is an electromagnetic wave with its own specific frequency and wavelength. White, instead, does not have a specific frequency: it is the sum of all the different wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Therefore, when recombining the spectrum of the refracted light all the different frequencies recombine together, and their sum gives white light.
