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

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Art [367]

The total gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder would simply be the sum of the pressure exerted by water and pressure exerted by the oil.

The formula for calculating pressure in a column is:

P = ρ g h

Where,

P = gauge pressure

ρ = density of the liquid

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of liquid

Adding the two pressures will give the total:

P total = (ρ g h)_water + (ρ g h)_oil

P total = (1000 kg / m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.30 m) + (900 kg / m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.4 - 0.30 m)

P total = 2940 Pa + 882 Pa

P total = 3,822 Pa

 

Answer:

 The total gauge pressure at the bottom is 3,822 Pa.

If a car travels around a gentle curve on a highway at 60 km/h, does the velocity change
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Yes the velocity changes. Because velocity changes with direction. The object is moving around a gentle curve. The curve is not linear it is curve the direction changes a bit so obviously the velocity also changes but not much. Juts a minor change. Depends on how much curve the highway is.

A uniform meter ruler is balanced at its midpoint
NeTakaya

Answer:

a) i) x = 0.25 m, ii) x = 0.10 m, iii)  x = 0.050 m

b) i)  x = 0.40 m

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium equation, where we assume that the anticlockwise rotations are positive.

1) L = 2W  

we set our reference system in the center of the bar where the fulcrum is

              ∑τ = 0

              W 0.50 - L x = 0

              x = 0.50 W / L

we substitute the value

              x = 0.50 W / 2W

              x = 0.25 m

ii) L = 5W

we calculate

              x = 0.50 W / 5W

              x = 0.10 m

iii) L = 10 W

               x = 0.50 W / 10W

              x = 0.050 m

b) a new weight is placed at x₂ = 30 cm on the left side

              W 0.50 + W 0.30 - L x = 0

              x = (0.50 + 0.30) W / L

              x = 0.80 W / L

we calculate

i)  L = 2W

                x = 0.80 w / 2w

                x = 0.40 m

A car accelerates from a resting position at a constant 5 meters per second per second. What does the graph of acceleration vers
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

You just told us that the acceleration is constant, and we believed you. So if we draw a graph of it, and it never gets any higher or lower than 5 m/s², then the graph is a straight horizontal line.
