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

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

no deflection and net force is zero. Moving in same direction and with same speed

Explanation:

Charge = negative

the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector is 0°, so the force is given by

F = q v B Sin 0

F = 0

As the force is zero so the charge particle moves with the same velocity and in the same direction.

there is no deflection in the path of negatively charged particle.

Two generators use the same magnetic field and operate at the same frequency. Each has a single-turn circular coil. One generato
Volgvan

Answer:

The coil radius of other generator is 5.15 cm

Explanation:

Consider the equation for induced emf in a generator coil:

EMF = NBAω Sin(ωt)

where,

N = No. of turns in coil

B = magnetic field

A = Cross-sectional area of coil = π r²

ω = angular velocity

t = time

It is given that for both the coils magnetic field, no. of turn and frequency is same. Since, the frequency is same, therefore, the angular velocity, will also be same. As, ω = 2πft.

Therefore, EMF for both coils or generators will be:

EMF₁ = NBπr₁²ω Sin(ωt)

EMF₂ = NBπr₂²ω Sin(ωt)

dividing both the equations:

EMF₁/EMF₂ = (r₁/r₂)²

r₂ = r₁ √(EMF₂/EMF₁)

where,

EMF₁ = 1.8 V

EMF₂ = 3.9 V

r₁ = 3.5 cm

r₂ = ?

Therefore,

r₂ = (3.5 cm)√(3.9 V/1.8 V)

<u>r₂ = 5.15 cm</u>
