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]

Sound waves require a medium. For example - think about space. there is no air or liquid because it is a vacuum, which is why sounds don’t travel through space.

Dear Amrish

I have come to know that since your school has closed for the Autumn Break you have plenty of free time at your disposal at the moment. I would like to tell you that even I am having holidays now.

It has been a long time since we have spent some time together. If you are free, I would welcome to have your company this weekend. Why don’t you come over to my house and spend a day or so with me?

I am anxiously waiting for your reply.

Yours affectionately

your name

How are theories and laws connected ​
Anni [7]

Answer:

Laws are statements about something that's been observed and stated while a theory is an explanation of what's been observed. This connection between them forms a main idea that many people regulate as "what's normal."

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.
kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
