Answer:

h = 61.16[cm]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Which tells us that energy is conserved or equal in two points in space for an instant in time.

In this way we will have the points A & B, the point A for the moment before shooting and the moment B when the Dart is in the highest position.

In this way the energy is:

E_{A}=E_{B}

Now we must identify the energies in the moments A & B. in the instant A we have the spring compressed, in such a way that only elastic energy is stored.

E_{A}=\frac{1}{2} *k*x^{2}

where:

k = spring constant = 20 [N/m]

x = distance = 0.3 [m]

Now, at the moment when the dart is in the highest position (B), it means that it does not go up anymore, that is, its movement is zero, and therefore its kinetic energy is zero, in this way the energy at the highest point corresponds to potential energy.

E_{B}=m*g*h

where:

m = mass = 0.15[kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

Now replacing:

\frac{1}{2} *20*(0.3)^{2}=0.15*9.81*h\\0.9=1.4715*h\\h=0.61[m]\\or\\h = 61.16[cm]

The frequency of the second harmonic of a certain musical instrument is 100 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the instrum
ruslelena [56]
The harmonic frequency of a musical instrument is the minimum frequency at which a string that is fixed at both ends in the instrument may vibrate. The harmonic frequency is known as the first harmonic. Each subsequent harmonic has a frequency equal to:
n*f, where n is the number of the harmonic and f is the harmonic frequency. Therefore, the harmonic frequency may be calculated using:
f = 100 / 2
f = 50 Hz

Which change will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between 2 objects
Nat2105 [25]
<span>Reducing the distance between them. In theory, also increasing the mass; but you can't really change the mass of an object. However, you can compare the forces if you replace an object by a different object, which has a different mass.

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 35.0 min
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

Solution:

Let the time be

t1=35min = 0.58min

t2=10min=0.166min

t3=45min= 0.75min

t4=35min= 0.58min

let the velocities be

v1=100km/h

v2=55km/h

v3=35km/h

a. Determine the average speed for the trip. km/h

first we have to solve for the distance

S=s1+s2+s3

S= v1t1+v2t2+v3t3

S= 100*0.58+55*0.166+35*0.75

S=58+9.13+26.25

S=93.38km

V=S/t1+t2+t3+t4

V=93.38/0.58+0.166+0.75+0.58

V=93.38/2.076

V=44.98km/h

b. the distance is 93.38km
