1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches
(55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)
= (55 x 231 / 1728) ft³
= 7.352 cubic feet (rounded)
Answer: v = 2.24 m/s
Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.
The equation is calculated as:






v = 2.24
The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.
Hello!
Using Hooke's law, F spring=k delta x, find the distance a spring with an elastic constant of 4 N/cm will stretch if a 2 newton force is applied to it.
Data:
Hooke represented mathematically his theory with the equation:
F = K * Δx
On what:
F (elastic force) = 2 N
K (elastic constant) = 4 N/cm
Δx (deformation or elongation of the elastic medium or distance from a spring) = ?
Solving:




simplify by 2

Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
a)
The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:
when m is a natural number.
here:
- m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)
- D is the distance from the slit to the screen
- a is the slit wide
- λ is the wavelength
So we have:
b)
Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :
I hope it heps you!
