In a physics lab experiment, a compressed spring launches a 24 g metal ball at a 35o angle above the horizontal. Compressing the

spring 17cm causes the ball to hit the floor 2.0 m below the point at which it leaves the spring after traveling 5.3 m horizontally. What is the spring constant

Answer:

k = 45.95 N/m

Explanation:

First, we will find the launch speed of the ball by using the formula for the horizontal range of the projectile.

R = \frac{v_{o}^{2}\ Sin\ 2\theta}{g} \\\\v_{o}^{2} = \frac{Rg}{Sin\ 2\theta}\\

where,

Vo = Launch Speed = ?

R = Horizontal Range = 5.3 m

θ = Launch Angle = 35°

Therefore,

v_{o}^{2} = \frac{(5.3\ m)(9.81\ m/s^{2})}{Sin\ 2(35^{o})}\\

v₀² = 55.33 m²/s²

Now, we know that the kinetic energy gain of ball is equal to the potential energy stored by spring:

Kinetic\ Energy\ Gained\ By\ Ball = Elastic\ Potential\ Energy\ Stored\ in \ Spring\\\frac{1}{2}mv_{o}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}\\\\k = \frac{mv_{o}^{2}}{x^2} \\

where,

k = spring constant = ?

x = compression = 17 cm = 0.17 m

m = mass of ball = 24 g = 0.024 kg

Therefore,

k = \frac{(0.024\ kg)(55.33\ m^2/s^2)}{(0.17\ m)^2} \\

<u>k = 45.95 N/m</u>

Match these items.
Nitella [24]

Explanation :

(1) Involuntary muscles are the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(2) Tendons are the connective tissues that join the muscle to bones. Tendons are tissues that have fibers.

(3) Cardiac muscle is also involuntary muscles. For example heart muscle. It shows contraction and relaxation throughout life.

(4) Voluntary muscle is the muscles that are not controlled by our will.  

(5) Biceps are the arm muscles.

Hence, this the required explanation as per options.

Why do things become hot or cold?<br> Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.
