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

We know that:
W=Fs
200J=150N*s
s=200J/150N
s=1,33m

1:a boy 2 a girl pulling a heavy crate at the same time w/10 unite of force each.What is the net force acting on the object
vovangra [49]
The maximum magnitude of the net force on the box is 20 N, which is only possible if the boy and the girl pull the box together in the same direction, horizontally and parallel to the ground.
The minimum magnitude of the net force on the box is 0 N, which will occur when the boy and the girl pull the box together in the parallel but opposite direction.
If either of them pulls at an angle from the horizontal, then the magnitude of the net force will be between 0 N and 20 N.

What is the danger to spacecraft and astronauts from micrometeoroids?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Suppose the micrometeoroid weighed 1 g = .001 kg

Suppose also the spacecraft were moving at 18,000 mph (1.5 hrs per rev)

Usually, the smaller particle would be moving but for simplicity suppose that it were stationary wrt the ground

v = 18000 miles / hr * 1500 m/mile / 3600 sec/hr = 7500 m/s

KE = 1/2 * .001 kg * (7500 m)^2 = 28,125 Joules

One can see that 28000 Joules could be damaging amount of energy
