A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball straight up inthe air. The ball reaches a maximum height H, measuredfrom the equ

ilibrium position of the spring. The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far before firing. How far up does the ball go this time?

Answer:

H' = H/4

Explanation:

By applying the law of conservation of energy to this problem, we know that:

Elastic Potential Energy Stored by Spring = Gravitational Potential Energy of ball

(1/2)kx² = mgH

H = (1/2)kx²/mg   -------------- equation (1)

where,

H = Height reached by the ball

x = compression of spring

k = stiffness of spring

m = mass of ball

g = acceleration due to gravity

Now, if we make the compression to half of its value:

x' = x/2

then:

H' = (1/2)k(x/2)²/mg

H' = (1/4)(1/2)kx²/mg

using equation (1), we get:

<u>H' = H/4</u>

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 11 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed
shusha [124]

Answer:

- 3.72 Ns.

9.44 m/s

Explanation:

mass of racket, M = 1000 g = 1 kg

mass of ball, m = 60 g = 0.06 kg

initial velocity of racket, U = 11 m/s

initial velocity of ball, u = 18 m/s

final velocity of ball, v = - 44 m/s

Let the final velocity of the racket is V.

(a) Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity of the ball.

initial momentum of the ball = m x u = 0.06 x 18 = 1.08 Ns

Final momentum of the ball = m x v = 0.06 x (- 44) = - 2.64 Ns

Change in momentum of the ball = final momentum - initial momentum

                                                        = - 2.64 - 1.08 = - 3.72 Ns

Thus, the change in momentum of the ball is - 3.72 Ns.

(b) By use of conservation of momentum

initial momentum of racket and ball = final momentum of racket and ball

1 x 11 + 0.06 x 18 =  1 x V - 0.06 x 44

12.08 = V - 2.64

V = 9.44 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the racket afetr the impact is 9.44 m/s .

vodomira [7]

Two Sets of solid double yellow lines with spaced two or more feet apart indicates that Do not drive on or over the barrier.

<h3>What are the line colors in lane control?</h3>

Solid yellow lines - it is marked at the center of a road and used for two-way traffic.

Broken yellow lines - It indicate that you may pass if the broken line is next to your driving lane.

Two solid yellow lines - It indicates no passing or Do not drive on or over the barrier.

Two sets of solid double yellow lines are considered a barrier , make a left turn, or a U-turn to cross it.
