Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
Given:
mass of bullet, 
compression of the spring, 
force required for the given compression, 
(a)
We know

where:
a= acceleration


we have:
initial velocity,
Using the eq. of motion:

where:
v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.


(b)
Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"
so,

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

Using the equation of motion:

where:
h= height
g= acceleration due to gravity


is the height from the release position of the spring.
So, the height from the latched position be:



Answer:
a = 7.5 m / s²
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's create a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane
Y axis
N - W cos θ = 0
N = mg cos θ
X axis
W sin θ = m a
mg sin θ = m a
a = g sin θ
let's calculate
a = 9.8 cos 40
a = 7.5 m / s²
Energy is transferred between the ground and the atmosphere via conduction.
Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction<span> occurs right at the earth's surface</span>
Let the data is as following
mass of payload = "m"
mass of Moon = "M"
now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface
So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other
so it is given by

we know that


now from above formula


so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude
