The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 32.50 N/m, is 0.640 J. Find by how

liraira [26]

Answer:

$x = 0.198456 \ m$

$h = 1.3061 \ m$

$v = 5.06 \ m/s$

$d = 4.0273 \ m$

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 32.50 N/m$

The potential energy is $PE = 0.640 \ J$

Generally the potential energy stored in spring is mathematically represented as $PE = \frac{1}{2} * k * x^2$

=> $0.640= \frac{1}{2} * 32.50 * x^2$

=> $x = \sqrt{0.03938}$

=> $x = 0.198456 \ m$

Considering the second question

From the question we are told that

The mass of the dart is m = 0.050 kg

Generally from the law of energy conservation

$PE = mgh$

=> $0.640 = 0.050 * 9.8 * h$

=> $h = 1.3061 \ m$

Considering the third question

The height at which the dart was fired horizontally is $H = 3.90\ m$

Generally from the law of energy conservation

$PE = KE$

Here KE is kinetic energy of the dart which is mathematical represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

=> $0.640 = \frac{1}{2} * 0.050 * v^2$

=> $v^2 = 25.6$

=> $v = 5.06 \ m/s$

Considering the fourth question

Generally the total time of flight of the dart is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{ 2 * H }{g}$

=> $t = \frac{ 2 * 3.90 }{9.8 }$

=> $t = 0.7959 \ s$

Generally the horizontal distance from the equilibrium position to the ground is mathematically represented as

$d = v * t$

=> $d = 5.06 * 0.7959$

=> $d = 4.0273 \ m$

You plug in an extension cord and have to be very careful around the electrical outlet. However, you can handle the extension co

a_sh-v [17]

I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.
