base your answer to this question on the information below and on your knowledge of physics. A toy launcher that is used to laun

ch small plastic spheres horizontally contains a spring with a spring constant of 50. Newtons per meter. The spring is compressed a distance of 0.10 meter when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere. The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the plastic sphere will be launched.

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.

The equation is calculated as:

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}+0=0+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

\frac{1}{2}50(0.1)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)v^{2}

v^{2}=\frac{50(0.1)^{2}}{0.1}

v=\sqrt{50(0.1)}

v=\sqrt{5}

v = 2.24

The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.

A kid pulls on a rope with 20 newtons of force. The block and tackle system pulls up a 160 newton box. What is the mechanical ad
Minchanka [31]
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T
Westkost [7]

Answer : The kinetic energy depends directly on the mass of a particle.

Explanation :

We know that the kinetic energy of any particle is given by :

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where,

m is the mass of an object.

v is the velocity with which it is moving

Kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particle.

So, the kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its mass.

Hence, the conclusion of the question is if the mass of a particle is increases then its kinetic energy also increase.

2 * 1.5 * (.850/2)^2A small ball with mass 1.50 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.850 m long and of negligible mass. The syste
grin007 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the rod = 1.50 Kg

length of rod = 0.85 m

rotational velocity = 5060 rev/min

now calculating the rotational inertia of the system.

I = m L^2        

where L is the length of road, we will take whole length of rod because mass is at  the end of it.      

I = 1.5 \times 0.85^2  

I = 1.084 kg.m²                        

hence, the rotational inertia the system is equal to I = 1.084 kg.m²

The best scientific reason for a scientist to accept a specific theory is?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The theory is supported by all the available observations and data.

Explanation: The scientific community will accept a theory when a sufficient body of evidence supports it. This includes experiments that refute other potential theories. Experiments should also be carried out that attempt to disprove the theory but cannot.

It should not matter who proposed the theory or who supports it, and instead should entirely be based on the quality and abundance of data supporting it.

Hope this helps!
