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

Do you think most people follow the recommended guidelines for an adequate exercise routine?
blondinia [14]

Personally, I know that I don't however it all depends on the person's lifestyle, health, and resoucres, such as if they are able to complete the excersise or have enough money fore equpemnt. To be safe, I would say that the majority of people do follow the guidelines although they may manipulate it to fit their best interest.

A balloon filled with helium gas has an average density of Q,-0.41 kg/m'. The density of the air is Qa-1.23 kg/m3. The volume of
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a) (Qa*g*Vb)-(Qh*Vb*g)=(Qh*Vb*a)\\where \\g=gravity [m/s^2]\\a=acceleration [m/s^2]

b) a = 19.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

The total mass of the balloon is:

massball=densityheli*volumeheli\\\\massball=0.41 [kg/m^3]*0.048[m^3]\\massball=0.01968[kg]\\\\

The buoyancy force acting on the balloon is:

Fb=densityair*gravity*volumeball\\Fb=1.23[kg/m^3]*9.81[m/s^2]*0.048[m^3]\\Fb=0.579[N]

Now we need to make a free body diagram where we can see the forces that are acting over the balloon and determinate the acceleration.

In the attached image we can see the free body diagram and the equation deducted by Newton's second law

Is it illegal to attempt gerrymandering​
IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

The US Supreme Court has affirmed in Miller v. Johnson (1995) that racial gerrymandering is a violation of constitutional rights and upheld decisions against redistricting that is purposely devised based on race. However, the Supreme Court has struggled as to when partisan gerrymandering occurs (Vieth v.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The component of acceleration perpendicular to an object’s velocity tells us How the object’s direction changes.

Explanation:

This acceleration is called radial/tangential acceleration. It is the reason why a body moving in circular motion with constant velocity can be said to also be accelerating because its direction is continuously changing. The acceleration is usually directed towards the centre of the circular motion of the body or trying to throw the body off its circular motion path.
