Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.

Answers

Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A rifle fires a 2.10 × 10⁻² kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the trigger is pulled. The spring has a negligible mass and is compressed by 9.10 × 10⁻² m from its unstrained length. The pellet rises to a maximum height of 6.10 m above its position on the compressed spring. Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.

Answer:

the spring constant is 303.5 N/m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

There is a potential energy associated with the spring;

we know that potential energy = kinetic energy

mgh = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]kx²

where k is the spring constant and x is the compression

as the pallet is fired, the spring gives kinetic energy which is converted into gravitational potential energy

so

m = 2.10 × 10⁻²

g = 9.81 m/s²

h = 6.10 m

x = 9.10 × 10⁻² m

we substitute

mgh = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]kx²

2.10 × 10⁻² × 9.81 × 6.10 =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × K × ( 9.10 × 10⁻² )²

1.256661 = 0.0041405 × K

K = 1.256661 / 0.0041405

K = 303.5 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is 303.5 N/m

A golf ball strikes a hard, smooth floor at an angle of 27.0 ° and, as the drawing shows, rebounds at the same angle. The mass of the ball is 0.0200 kg, and its speed is 33.0 m/s just before and after striking the floor. What is the magnitude of the impulse applied to the golf ball by the floor? (Hint: Note that only the vertical component of the ball's momentum changes during impact with the floor, and ignore the weight of the ball.)

Answers

Answer:

J = 3.564 N.s

Explanation:

From  the given information:

angle θ = 27°

mass = 0.0200 kg

speed = 33.0 m/s

To determine the impulse applied using the equation:

J = m(2V cos  θ)

J = 0.0200 (2 × cos (27.0))

J = 0.0200 (2 × 0.8910)

J = 0.03564

J = 3.564 N.s

A drone accelerates from rest to a speed of 300 m/s in 3 s. What is the acceleration of the drone? How far will the drone go?

Answers

Answer:

(i) 100 m/s²

(ii) 450 m

Explanation:

From the question,

Using,

(i) a = (v-u)/t................. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the drone, v = final velocity of the drone, u = Initial velocity of the drone, t = time.

Given: v = 300 m/s, u = 0 m/s (from rest), t = 3 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

a = (300-0)/3

a = 300/3

a = 100 m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the drone is 100 m/s²

(ii) using,

s = ut+at²/2.................... Equation 2

Where s = distance traveled by the drone.

also substitute the values above into equation 2

s = 0(3)+100(3²)/2

s = 50×9

s = 450 m

Two Cars, A and B, (starting, at the same time, from the same point) are moving
with average speeds of 40 km/h and 50 km/h, respectively, in the same direction.
Find how far will Car B be from Car A after 3 hours.

Answers

Answer:

car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by each car. This is illustrated below:

For car A:

Speed = 40 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

40 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 40 × 3

Distance = 120 Km

For car B:

Speed = 50 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

50 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 50 × 3

Distance = 150 Km

Finally, we shall determine the distance between car B an car A. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance travelled by car B (D₆) = 150 Km

Distance travelled by car A (Dₐ) = 120 Km

Distance apart =?

Distance apart = D₆ – Dₐ

Distance apart = 150 – 120

Distance apart = 30 Km

Therefore, car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.

A 51.0 kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a floor with a constant horizontal force of 225 N. For the first 10.0 m the floor is frictionless, and for the next 10.5 m the coefficient of friction is 0.17.
What is the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 20.5 meters?

Answers

Answer:

The final speed of the crate is 12.07 m/s.

Explanation:

For the first 10.0 meters, the only force acting on the crate is 225 N, so we can calculate the acceleration as follows:

[tex] F = ma [/tex]

[tex] a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{225 N}{51.0 kg} = 4.41 m/s^{2} [/tex]

Now, we can calculate the final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m:

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{1} [/tex]                  

[tex] v_{f} = \sqrt{0 + 2*4.41 m/s^{2}*10.0 m} = 9.39 m/s [/tex]    

For the next 10.5 meters we have frictional force:

[tex] F - F_{\mu} = ma [/tex]

[tex] F - \mu mg = ma [/tex]

So, the acceleration is:

[tex] a = \frac{F - \mu mg}{m} = \frac{225 N - 0.17*51.0 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}}{51.0 kg} = 2.74 m/s^{2} [/tex]

The final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m will be the initial speed of the following 10.5 meters, so:

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{2} [/tex]  

[tex] v_{f} = \sqrt{(9.39 m/s)^{2} + 2*2.74 m/s^{2}*10.5 m} = 12.07 m/s [/tex]  

Therefore, the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 20.5 meters is 12.07 m/s.  

I hope it helps you!

Answers

Answer:

the wavelength of the light is 6.313 × 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

for a double slit interference;

θ = nλ/d

for adjacent lines

θ = λ/d

and d = 0.33 mm = 0.00033 m

and θ = 0.44 × 10⁻² m / 2.30 m

so

λ = θ × d

λ = ( 0.44 × 10⁻² m / 2.30 m ) × 0.00033 m

λ  = 0.001913043478 × 0.00033 m

λ =  6.313 × 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the light is 6.313 × 10⁻⁷ m

Describe reflection and refraction. How do these processes enable astronomers to build telescopes? Do these principles work equally well for ALL types of non-optical telescopes; i.e. those built to view the non-visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (radio, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma)? Explain carefully by using at least two specific examples from the list of the five.

Answers

Answer:

 θ₁ = θ₂,    n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin  θ₂

instruments can be built that concentrate light on a small surface

Explanation:

The two laws of optical geometry have been known for quite some time.

The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reaches a surface, the reflected ray comes out at the same angle as the incident ray.

       θ₁ = θ₂

The law of refraction establishes how the direction of a light ray changes when it stops from one transparent medium to another.

           n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin  θ₂

With any of these laws, instruments can be built that concentrate light on a small surface, which allows the weak light from the flares to be concentrated and objects to be measured and seen.

Electromagnetic radiation in its entire spectrum has the same properties, which is why telescopes of visible, infrared, and microwave light. Radio telescope, gamma rays use the same principles of the law of reflection and refraction. The main change between each instrument is the materials and which they are built,

a reflecting telescope must be built with a reflective surface, for example for microwaves metal surfaces are used

For gamma ray telescope it is preferred to constrict refracting telescope, therefore the material must be transparent to gamma rays

The radio telescope uses reflection and the surface is metallic, sometimes to reduce the weight the surface has holes smaller than the length of the donut that you want to measure.

A pulley in the shape of a solid cylinder of mass 1.50 kg and radius 0.240 m is free to rotate around a horizontal shaft along the axis of the pulley. There is friction between the pulley and this shaft. A light, nonstretching cable is wrapped around the pulley, and the free end is tied to a 2.00 kg textbook. You release the textbook from rest a distance 0.900 m above the floor. Just before the textbook hits the floor, the angular speed of the pulley is 10.0 rad/s. What is the speed of the textbook just before it hits the floor

Answers

Answer:

the speed of the textbook just before it hits the floor is 2.4 m/s

Explanation:

  Given the data in the question;

mass of pulley = 1.50 kg

radius of pulley = 0.240 m

mass of text book = 2.0 kg

height from which text book was released = 0.9 m

angular speed of the pulley = 10.0 rad/s

the speed of the textbook just before it hits the floor = ?

the speed of the textbook v = angular speed of the pulley × radius of pulley

we substitute

v = 10.0 rad/s × 0.240 m

v = 2.4 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the textbook just before it hits the floor is 2.4 m/s

c) A changing magnetic field produces a constant parallel magnetic field.
d) A changing magnetic field produces a changing parallel magnetic field.
e) A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.

Answers

Answer:

e)  A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.

Explanation:

Ok, we start with a magnetic field and let's study how it affects the motion of a single electron. As the magnetic field changes, it will cause an electromotive force, that moves the electron, and because now we have a moving electron, now we will have an electric field. (Such that the direction of the electromotive force opposes the direction in which the magnetic field changes). This also can be deduced if we look at the third Maxwell's equation:

dE/dx = -dB/dt

This says that the spatial change in an electric field depends on how the magnetic field changes as time pass.

Then the correct option is e)  A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.
