A 3.0 kg object is loaded into a toy spring gun, and the spring has a spring constant 750N/m. The object compresses the spring b

y 8.0 cm. The gun is tilted at an angle 30.0 degrees above the horizontal.
a. Once the ball is launched, is the minimum kinetic energy greater than or equal to zero? Explain your reasoning.
b. How high does the object go (relative to its height as it leaves the gun)?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of object, m = 3 kg

spring constant, K = 750 n/m

compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m

angle of gun, θ = 30°

(a) As the ball is launched, it has some velocity due to the compression in the spring, so it has some kinetic energy.

(b) Let v be th evelocity of ball at the tim eof launch.

by using the conservation of energy

1/2 Kx² = 1/2 mv²

750 x 0.08 x 0.08 = 3 x v²

v = 1.265 m/s

By use of the formula of maximum height

h = \frac{v^{2}Sin^{2}\theta}{2g}

h = \frac{1.265^{2}Sin^{2}30}{2\times 9.8}

h = 0.02 m

h = 2 cm

Which unit of measurement is included in the International System of Unit! (si)?
ozzi

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

There are several measures for the international system of measures. Let's name some and their representation symbol.

meter = [m]

time = [s] = seconds

mass = [kg] = kilograms

Temperature = [°C] = celcius degrees

Power = [W] = watts.

Force = [N] = Newtons

A small block with mass 0.0400 kg is moving in the xy-plane. The net force on the block is described by the potentialenergy func
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A= 148.92  m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

m= 0.04 kg

Now force in the x-direction

Fx= - dU/dx

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dx= 12 x

When x=0.4 m

dU/dx= 12 x 0.4 = 4.8

So we can say that

Fx= - 4.8 N

From Newtons law

F= m a

- 4.8 = 0.04 x a

a = -120 m/s²

Acceleration in x direction ,a = -120 m/s²

In y -direction

F= - dU/dy

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dy = 0 - 3.75 x 3 y²

When y = 0.56 m

dU/dy = - 3.75 x 3 x 0.56 x 0.56

dU/dy = - 3.52

So we can say that force in y -direction

F= 3.52 N

F= m a'

3.52 = 0.04 x a'

a'=88.2 m/s²

acceleration in y direction is 88.2 m/s²

The resultant acceleration

A=\sqrt{a^2+a'^2}

A=\sqrt{120^2+88.2^2}

A= 148.92  m/s²
