Answer:

0.495m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the stone will be equal to the work done by the spring

Mathematically;

W = KE

1/2ke² = 1/2mv²

ke² = mv²

k is the spring constant = 150N/m

e is the extension

m is the mass = 0.015kg

v is the velocity = 70m/s

Substitute

150e² = 1/2 * 0.015 * 70²

150e² = 36.75

e² = 36.75/150

e² =  0.245

e = √0.245

e = 0.495m

Hence the extension of the catapult is 0.495m

A rotating merry go-round makes one complete revolution in 4.2 s. (a) what is the linear speed of a child seated 1.3 m from the
gregori [183]
The radius, r, of the child from the center of the wheel is
r = 1.3 m

The wheel makes one revolution in 4.2 s. Its angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(4.2 s) = 1.496 rad/s

The linear speed of the child is the tangential velocity, given by
v = rω
   = (1.3 m)*(1.496 rad/s)
   = 1.945 m/s

Answer: 1.95 m/s  (nearest hundredth)

A person wants to make a metronome for music practice. He uses a 35-g object attached to a spring to serve as the time standard.
alukav5142 [94]

To develop this problem it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency of a spring mass system, for which it is necessary that its mathematical function is described as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Here,

k = Spring constant

m = Mass

Our values are given as,

m = 35g = 35*10^{-3}kg

f = 1 Hz

Rearranging to find the spring constant we have that,

k = (2\pi f \sqrt{m})^2

k = 4\pi^2 f^2 m

k = (4) (\pi)^2 (1) (35*10^{-3})

k = 1.38N/m

Therefore the spring constant is 1.38N/m

dangina [55]
I would say that insofar as the two stars temperatures are presumably closely related to their luminosity, that the blue star at 156,100 k compared to 3000k for the red star then the blue star has a luminosity of 52 times that of the red star.

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
