3. A 40-gram ball of clay is dropped from a height, h, above a cup which is attached to a spring of spring force constant, k, of

25 N/m. The ball lands in the cup, and the spring compresses a distance, x. If x is 0.506 m, then what is the maximum speed of the ball?

Answer:

the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 40 g = 0.04 kg

spring constant, k = 25 N/m

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

The Elastic potential energy of the spring will be converted into Kinetic of the ball;

\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\ kx^2 = mv^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{(25)(0.506)^2}{0.04}} \\\\v = \sqrt{160.0225} \\\\v = 12.65 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projectile be v and angle of throw be θ.

The projectile takes 5 s to touch the ground during which period it falls vertically by 100 m

considering its vertical displacement

h = - ut +1/2 g t²

100 = - vsinθ x 5 + .5 x 9.8 x 5²

5vsinθ =  222.5

vsinθ = 44.5

It covers 160 horizontally in 5 s

vcosθ x 5 = 160

v cosθ = 32

squaring and adding

v²sin²θ +v² cos²θ = 44.4² + 32²

v² = 1971.36 + 1024

v = 54.73 m /s

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 0

Explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the object and its time interval.

so here we can say

v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}

now we know that in one complete revolution the total displacement of the tip of the seconds hand is zero

because it will have same position after one complete revolution from where it starts

so here we can say that the average velocity will be zero

v_{avg} = 0

lianna [129]

Answer:

Their efforts would be expressed in units of Joules per second

Explanation:

The unit of their efforts can be derived from the formula of power which is given by the product of mass, acceleration and distance (the product is energy with unit joules) divided by time taken to complete the task (unit is seconds)

Therefore, the unit of their efforts would be joules per second

A particular inductor is connected to a circuit where it experiences a change in current of 0.8 amps every 0.10 sec. If the indu
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Given that a particular inductor is connected to a circuit where it experiences a change in current of 0.8 amps every 0.10 sec. If the inductor has a self-inductance of 2.0 V, what is the inductance

Using the power formula

P = IV

Substitute all the parameters

P = 0.8 × 2

P = 1.6 W

But P = I^2 R

Substitute power and current

1.6 = 0.8^2 R

R = 1.6 / 0.64

R = 2.5 ohms

Inductance = reciprocal of resistance

Inductance = 1 / 2.5

Inductance = 0.4
