A toy rocket is launched straight up by using a spring. The rocket is initially pressed down on the spring so that the spring is

compressed by 9 cm. If the spring constant is 830 N/m and the mass of the rocket is 50 g, how high will the rocket fly?

Answer:

6.86 meters

Explanation:

Let the compression of the string be represented by x, and the height of projection of the toy rocket be represented by h.

So that;

x = 9 cm = 0.09 m

In its rest position (i.e before the launch), the spring has a stored potential energy which is given as;

PE = \frac{1}{2} Kx^{2}

    = \frac{1}{2} x 830 x (0.09)^{2}

    = 415 x 0.0081

    = 3.3615

The potential energy in the string = 3.36 Joules

Also,

PE = mgh

where: m is the mass, g is the gravitational force and h the height.

m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, g = 9.8 ms^{-2}

Thus,

PE = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.49h

⇒ h = \frac{3.3615}{0.49}

      = 6.8602

The height of the toy rocket would be 6.86 meters.

Acetone is a flammable solvent used in the making of plastics. The density is 790kg/m3. to convert 790kg/m3 to g/cm3​
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 0.790 g/cm3

Explanation:

The density of acetone is 790 Kg/m3.

To convert from Kg to g we multiply by 1000 (1 Kg = 1000 g)

To convert from m3 to cm3 we multiply by 10∧6

So, The density of acetone in (g/cm3) = (790 x 1000) / (10∧6) = 0.79 g/cm3

light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance li
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The distance traveled in 1 year is: 3.143*10^{16}ft

Explanation:

Given

s = 982,080,000 ft/s --- speed

t = 32,000,000 s --- time

Required

The distance traveled

This is calculated as:

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

So, we have:

Distance = Speed * Time

This gives:

Distance = 982,080,000 ft/s * 32,000,000 s

Distance = 982,080,000  * 32,000,000ft

Distance = 3.143*10^{16}ft -- approximated
