vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses
dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

) each plate of a parallel-plate air-filled capacitor has an area of 0.0020 , and the separation of the plates is an electric fi
Dvinal [7]
I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
V=Ed
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to  elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them <span>interchangeably</span>.
