Answer:

One transfer's and the other doesn't

Explanation:

Thermal energy doesn't transfer, but remain a part of the internal energy of the system.Heat transfer's it's energy, like when you sit in a cold chair, then becomes warm.That's because the energy was transferred from your body to the chair.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$

where $\Delta x$ is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

$\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}$

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

$k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}$

$k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}$

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2$

$E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules$

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

$\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h$

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

$\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m$

$\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules$

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

so, for the pellet will be

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

$E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k$

$0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.207519 \ Joules$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }$

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

An artificial satellite circles Earth in a circular orbit at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.00 m/s2. Dete

Ksju [112]

<span>g = GMe/Re^2, where Re = Radius of earth (6360km), G = 6.67x10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2, and Me = Mass of earth. On the earth's surface, g = 9.81 m/s^2, so the radius of your orbit is:

R = Re * sqrt (9.81 m/s^2 / 9.00 m/s^2) = 6640km

here, the speed of the satellite is:

v = sqrt(R*9.00m/s^2) = 7730 m/s

the time it would take the satellite to complete one full rotation is:

T = 2*pi*R/v = 5397 s * 1h/3600s = 1.50 h

Hope it help i know it's long and may be confusing but if you have any more questions regarding this topic just hmu! :)</span>

A bowling ball is 21.6 cm in diameter. What is the angular speed of these ball whenit is moving at 3.0 m/s?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter = 21.6 cm

Speed = 3 m/s

Find:

Angular speed

Computation:

Radius = 21.6 / 2 = 10.8 cm = 0.108 m

Angular speed = v / r

Angular speed = 3 / 0.108

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)
