Answer:
The nest must be about 4.15 meters above ground
Explanation:
Use the velocity equation under accelerated motion (acceleration of gravity ):
which for this case has initial velocity = 0 (falls from the nest), final velocity = 9 m/s, and a = 9.8 m/s^2, then we can find the time needed in air while falling to reach the required speed:
We now use this time value to find the distance covered in free fall during 0.92 seconds:
Answer:
(A) 3,449,600 N/m
(B) 62,720 poeple
Explanation:
extension of the sling shot (e) = 4 m
mass of projectile (m) = 440 g = 0.44 kg
speed of projectile (v) = 11.2 km/s = 11,200 m/s
average force a person can exert = 220 N
spring constant (k) = ?
(A) When all the elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic energy
rearranging the above equation
spring constant (K) =
spring constant (K) =
spring constant (K) =
spring constant (K) = 3,449,600 N/m
(B) force required to stretch the slingshot (F) = ke = 3,449,600 x 4 = 13,798,400 N
number of people required = required force / average force per person = 13,798,400 / 220 =62,720 poeple
