A 0.10 newton spring toy with a spring constant of 160 newtons per meter is compressed 0.05 meter before it is launched. When re
forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) V = 0.2 J (2) 0.05J

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

K = 160 N/m

x = 0.05 m

Now,

(1) we solve for the  initial potential energy stored

Thus,

V = 1/2 kx² = 0.5 * 160 * (0.05)²

Therefore V = 0.2 J

(2)Now, we solve for how much of the internal energy is produced as the toy springs up to its maximum height.

By using the energy conversion, we have the following

ΔV = mgh

=(0.1/9.8) * 9.8 * 1.5 = 0.15J

The internal energy = 0.2 -0.15

=0.05J

A mass m1= 6.20 kg is moving North with a velocity of v1= 13.5m/sec when it collides perpendicularly with another mass m2= 4.40
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Momentum of mass m_{1} is 83·7 kg m/s towards north

Momentum of mass m_{2} is 38·72 kg m/s towards east

Explanation:

Given

Mass of m_{1} = 6·2 kg

Mass of m_{2} = 4·4 kg

Velocity of mass m_{1} = v_{1} = 13·5 m/s

Velocity of mass m_{2} = v_{2} = 8·8 m/s

Momentum of mass m_{1} = m_{1} × v_{1} = 6·2 × 13·5 = 83·7 kg m/s

Momentum of mass m_{2} = m_{2} × v_{2} = 4·4 × 8·8 = 38·72 kg m/s

As mass m_{1} is moving North, the direction of momentum will also be in that direction because the direction of momentum will be in the direction of velocity

As mass m_{2} is moving East, the direction of momentum will also be in that direction because the direction of momentum will be in the direction of velocity

∴ Momentum of mass m_{1} is 83·7 kg m/s towards north

∴ Momentum of mass m_{2} is 38·72 kg m/s towards east
