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.

Energy of motion is also known as
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: Motion energy which is also known mechanical energy this energy stored in moving objects. So as the object moves faster, more energy is stored. Motion energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

adoni [48]

Answer:

acceleration a = 1,557 m/s²

Explanation:

Let's use the kinematic equations, the initial distance is 70 m (Xo = 70 m), also if the track is 2200m long or 100m long when clearing use a distance in the path of

     X = 2200-100-70 = 2030 m

With this data let's calculate the acceleration

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a X

the jet leaves the rest (Vo=0=

    a = Vf2 / 2X

    a = 80 2/2 2030

    a = 1,557 m/s²

azamat

Answer:

Part a)

a = 2.4 m/s^2

Part b)

F = 120 N

Explanation:

Two sleds are connected by a rope

mass of each sled is given as

m = 100 kg

now we know that dog exert pulling force on the rope connected to first sled

F = 240 N

Part a)

By newton's first law we know that

F = (m + m)a

240 = (100 + 100)a

a = \frac{240}{100}

a = 2.4 m/s^2

Part b)

As we know that force between two ropes will pull the sled behind

so we will have

F = ma

F = 100(1.20)

F = 120 N
