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]

Energy of fossil fuel is also derived from solar energy why​
zzz [600]

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun captured through photosynthesis. In the same way that we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun.

The magnitude of a negative of a vector is negative. O True O False
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

For any negative vector

\overrightarrow{r}=-x\widehat{i}-y\widehat{j}

The magnitude of the vector is given by

|r|=\sqrt{(-x)^{2}+(-y)^{2}}\\\\|r|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

As we know that square root of any quantity cannot be negative thus we conclude that the right hand term in the above expression cannot be negative hence we conclude that magnitude of any vector cannot be negative.
