Answer:

$2*10^{5}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ M $V^{2}$

M is mass

V is velocity

K.E. = $\frac{1}{2}$ * 1000 * $20^{2}$

K.E. = $2*10^{5}$

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.24-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.01 cm and has a force

salantis [7]

Answer:

Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg

Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm

So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m

Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m

Frictional force f = 0.031 N

Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m

Energy gained by spring

$KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.08\times 0.0501^2=0.0101J$

Energy lost due to friction

$W=Fd=0.031\times 0.158=0.0048J$

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J

This energy will be kinetic energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.0052$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00524\times v^2=0.0052$

v = 1.40 m/sec

11. Explain why in terms of gravity and air resistance and the 2nd law, objects in free fall regardless of mass hit at the same

Alchen [17]

Answer:

When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.
