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

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/
Katen [24]
<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (1)

Where:

y  is the instrument's final position  

y_{o}=0  is the instrument's initial position

V_{o}=15m/s is the instrument's initial velocity

t is the time the parabolic movement lasts

g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know y_{o}=0  and y=0 when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (2)

Finding t:

0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})   (3)

t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}   (4)

t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}   (5)

Finally:

t=12s

A cannon is fired horizontally at 243 m/s off of a 62 meter tall, shear vertical cliff. How far in meters from the base of the c
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

865.08 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s

Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m

Horizontal distance (s) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the cannon to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

62 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

62 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 62/4.9

Take the square root of both side.

t = √(62/4.9)

t = 3.56 s

Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the cannon ball as shown below:

Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s

Time (t) = 3.56 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 243 × 3.56 s

s = 865.08 m

Thus, the cannon ball will impact the ground 865.08 m from the base of the cliff.

Kellie jogs 6.0 km in 54 minutes, then 1.0 km in 16 minutes. What is her average speed in km/min please show your work
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Vprom = 0.00347[km/min]

Explanation:

We can calculate each of the average speeds and then perform the overall average between the two speeds.

V1 = 6/54

V1 = 0.111[km/min]

V2 = 1/16

V2 = 0.0625[km/min]

V_{prom} = \frac{V_{1} + V_{2}}{2}  \\V_{prom} = \frac{0.1111 + 0.0625}{2}\\V_{prom} = 0.00347 [km/min]
