A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau

AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

$\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}$

Putting given values, we get :

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm$

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

5. What is the velocity of a Nolan Catholic football player if he runs 200.0 m in 24.0 s?

Degger [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed {\sf{8.33 \: m \:/s \: }}}}}$

Explanation:

Distance travelled = 200 metre

Time taken = 24 second

Velocity = ?

Finding the velocity 

$\boxed{ \sf{velocity = \frac{distance \: travelled \: }{time \: taken}}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity = \frac{200 \: m}{24 \: s} }}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity = 8.33 \: m/s}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. Diagram B shows a box wit

vichka [17]

As the ball is moving in air as well as we have to neglect the friction force on it

So we can say that ball is having only one force on it that is gravitational force

So the force on the ball must have to be represented by gravitational force and that must be vertically downwards

So the correct FBD will contain only one force and that force must be vertically downwards

So here correct answer must be

Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow.
