Answer:

A) The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

I´ve found the complete problem on the web:

<em>A toy launcher that is used to launch small plastic spheres horizontally contains a spring with a spring constant of 50. newtons per meter. The spring is compressed a distance of 0.10 meter when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>A) Determine the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>B) The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the plastic sphere will be launched. [Neglect friction.] [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]</em>

<em />

A) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated as follows:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compressing distance

EPE = 1/2 · 50 N/m · (0.10 m)²

EPE = 0.25 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) Since there is no friction, all the stored potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released. The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the sphere.

v = velocity

The kinetic energy of the sphere will be equal to the initial elastic potential energy:

KE = EPE = 1/2 · m · v²

0.25 J = 1/2 · 0.10 kg · v²

2 · 0.25 J / 0.10 kg = v²

v = 2.2 m/s

The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s

Effectus [21]

Answer:

id say D

Explanation:

because its the only answer that has to do with colors and visable light

but A and B also have to do with eachother so i feel like it could be with one of those but it def isnt C

I am sorry if i am wrong, let me know tho!

The sides of a cube are each of length 1. 00 m. Each side is measured with an uncertainty
astraxan [27]

The absolute uncertainty in the volume of the cube is 0.06 m³.

We need to know about the uncertainty of measurement to solve this problem. The uncertainty of cube volume can be determined by

V = s³

|ΔV| = dV/ds x Δs

where V is volume, s is length, ΔV is uncertainty in the volume and Δs is the uncertainty of length.

From the question above, we know that

s = 1.00 m

Δs = 2% of s = 2/100 x 1 = 0.02 m

By using the uncertainty of volume formula, we get

|ΔV| = dV/ds x Δs

|ΔV| = d(s³)/ds x Δs

|ΔV| = 3s² x Δs

|ΔV| = 3. 1² x 0.02

|ΔV| = 0.06 m³

Hence, the uncertainty in the volume is 0.06 m³.

When are you most aware of your motion in a moving vehicle: when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelera
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

A) Accelerating. You would not be aware of the motion if you did not look outside the car

Explanation:

Since human cannot sense the motion (unless visually), but the inertia force caused due to the acceleration of the motion. So if you are in a car with constant velocity, there's no acceleration and no inertia force, you would not be able to sense the motion at all unless you look outside.

A force of 5.25 newtons acts on an object of unknown mass at a distance of 6.9 × 108 meters from the center of Earth. To increas
NemiM [27]
The force between two objects is calculated through the equation, 
                        F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the objects. In this case, an unknown mass and Earth. d is the distance between them and G is universal gravitation constant. 

In the second case, if the force is to become 2.5 times the original and all the variables are constant except d then,
                       2.5F = Gm₁m₂ / (D²)
                                D = 0.623d

Subsituting the known value of d,
                                D = 0.623(6.9 x 10^8) = <em>4.298 x 10^8 m</em>
