A 0.02kg dart is loaded into a toy spring gun by compressing the spring 6cm. If the spring has a constant of 20 N/m, find… a. Th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

If a 12 kg cat is sitting 5 m up in a tree, how much PE does it have?
Helen [10]

Answer:

588 J

Explanation:

PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

mass = 12 kg

gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height = 5 m

PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)

What does Newton's third law describe?<br> What does Newton's third law describe?
defon

Explanation:

<em>Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion</em> says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

For example, when you fire a gun, the gun exerts a force on bullet. Even the bullet exerts an equal force on the gun, causing it to recoil.

The Earth revolves around the Sun as the Sun attracts it. The reason why Earth doesn't fall into it is because the Earth also attracts the Sun with an equal gravitational force.

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

the correct affirmation is the 3

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem with Newton's second law before looking at the claims.

X axis parallel to the plane, positive down

      F -fr + Wₓ = ma

Y Axis perpendicular to the plane

      N -Wy = 0

With trigonometry

     Wₓ = W sin θ

     Wy = w cos θ

Let's multiply by the displacement along the plane, to relate to the work, which has as expression W = F d

     F d -fr d + Wx d = ma d

Push                  W₁ = Fd

frictional force  W₂ = -fr d

gravity               W₃ = Wx d

    W₁ + W₃ -W₂ = m a d

Analysis affirmations:

R1) false. The work of gravity is the subtraction    

R2) false. Each force contributes according to its magnitude

R3) true. In the equation we see that, if the acceleration is zero, W2 = W1 + W3

R4) False. It equals the difference

the correct affirmation is the 3
