A tennis ball launcher works by using a spring to

propel the ball forward.

One model of tennis ball launcher has

advertised that it is capable of imparting

15,000 J of kinetic energy to a 0.5 kg ball

initially at rest. A student carefully measures the

compression of the spring to be 0.10 m.

What is the value of the spring constant for the

tennis ball launcher according to the data

provided?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3MN/m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Kinetic Energy KE=15,000J  

mass m= 0.5kg

compression x= 0.1m

Step two:

The expression for the energy stored in spring is

[tex]KE= 1/2ke^2\\\\15000=1/2 *k*0.1^2\\\\15000=1/2*k*0.01\\\\15000=0.005k\\\\[/tex]

divide both sides by

0.005

[tex]k= 15000/0.005\\\\k=3000000\\\\k= 3MN/m[/tex]

Answer 2

From conservation of energy, the value of the spring constant for the tennis ball launcher according to the data is 3 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Nm

The work done by a  tennis ball launcher by using a spring to propel the ball forward is equal to the kinetic energy which is 15,000 Joule. That is,

W = K.E

The given parameters are:

K.E = 15,000 J

Mass m = 0.5 kg

compression x = 0.1 m

The elastic potential energy on the spring will be equal to the work done by the tennis ball launcher. That is,

E = W

since W = K.E

E = K.E

1/2k[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 1/2m[tex]v^{2}[/tex] = 15,000

1/2k[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 15000

Substitute for 0.1 for x

1/2 K ([tex]0.1^{2}[/tex]) = 15000

[tex]0.1^{2}[/tex] K = 30000

K = 30000/0.01

K = 3 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Nm

Therefore,  the value of the spring constant for the tennis ball launcher according to the data is 3 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Nm

An 82 kg man, at rest, drops from a diving board 3.0 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.55 s after reaching the water. What force does the water exert on him?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that a 82 kg man, at rest, drops from a diving board 3.0 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.55 s after reaching the water. What force does the water exert on him?

The parameters to be considered are:

Distance S = 3m

Time t = 0.55s

Since the man started from rest, initial velocity u = 0

Using second equation of motion

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.55^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.3025

a = 3/ 0.15125

a = 19.83 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

Force = 82 × 19.83

Force = 1626.4 N

Therefore, the force that water exerted on him is 1626.4 N

Based on details in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, which statement best describes Jean-Baptiste Fourier's influence on Jean-François Champollion?

Answers

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part of the  complete question

which statement best describes Jean-Baptiste Fourier’s influence on Jean-François Champollion? Fourier shared his research about mathematics with Champollion, which aided him in his research. Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone, which fascinated him. Fourier shared his findings about the Rosetta Stone with Champollion, which helped him in his research. Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to a variety of languages, which prompted his love of languages.

answer :  Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to a variety of languages, which prompted his love of languages.

Explanation:

Jean-Baptiste Fourier's influence on Jean-Francois Champollion is that Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to a variety of languages, which prompted his love of languages. also Fourier was a mathematician  who pleaded on the behalf of Champollion when he was about to be adopted into the military.

A boy is pulling a 150 kg crate with a force of 1150 N. If the crate experiences a frictional force of 490 N, find:

a) The acceleration of the crate.

b) The normal force acting on the crate.

Answers

For the aceleration:

First, let's find the resultant, and applicate 2nd law of Newton using the resultant, so:

R = ma

F - Ff = ma

Data:

F = Force = 1150 N

Ff = Friction force = 490 N

m = Mass = 150 kg

a = Aceleraction = ?

Replacing according our data:

1150 N - 490 N = 150 kg * a

660 N = 150 kg * a

660 N / 150 kg = a

a = 4,4 m/s²   ← Aceleration of the object

For the normal force:

The normal force IS NOT the resultant force, the normal force's the force between the ground and the object, in another words, is the weight of the object, and for the weight:

w = mg

w = 150 kg * 10 m/s²

w = 1500 N   ← Normal force between object and ground.

incline plane is given length 12m,load 600 newton,effort 200 Newton, Height 3 metre find its velocity ratio and mechanical advantage​

Answers

Answer:

i. The velocity ratio of the plane is 4.

ii. The mechanical advantage of the plane is 3.

Explanation:

i. The velocity ratio (VR) of an inclined plane is ratio of its length to the height. It is given as;

VR = [tex]\frac{length of the plane}{height}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{l}{h}[/tex]

Given: l = 12 m, L = 600 N, E = 200 N, h = 3 m.

So that,

VR = [tex]\frac{12}{3}[/tex]

     = 4

The velocity ratio of the plane is 4.

ii. Mechanical advantage (MA) expresses the relationship between the load overcome to effort applied.

MA = [tex]\frac{Load}{Effort}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{L}{E}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{600}{200}[/tex]

      = 3

The mechanical advantage of the plane is 3.

Therefore, the velocity ratio of the inclined plane is 4, and its mechanical advantage is 3.

Answers

Answer:

At the midpoint of the line joining the two equal charges

Explanation:

The midpoint of the line joining the two equal charges has equal distance from each charge. Since the charges are at x = a and x = -a, at the midpoint of the line joining the two equal charges, the magnitude of the electric field experienced as a result of each charge is the same. But these two fields are in opposite direction, hence the net resulting electric field would be equal to zero.

A 3.0 g bullet traveling at a speed of 400 m/s enters a tree and exits the other side with a speed of 200 m/s. Where did the bullet's lost KE go, and what was the energy transferred?

Answers

Answer:

1800J

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of bullet m= 3g= 0.03kg

initial velocity u = 400m/s

final velocity v= 200 m/s

Step two:

1.The bullet's lost kinetic energy went inside the tree.

2. The energy transferred is computed as

= initial KE- KE final

Initial KE= 1/2mu^2

Initial KE= 1/2*0.03*400^2

Initial KE= 1/2*0.03*160000

Initial KE= 1/2*4800

Initial KE= 2400J

KE final= 1/2mv^2

KE final= 1/2*0.03*200^2

KE final= 1/2*0.03*40000

KE final= 1/2*1200

KE final= 600J

KE transferred = 2400-600

KE transferred= 1800J

12. What is the photoelectric effect, and what experimental evidence led scientists
to discover it? Does this support the wave or particle theory of light? Why?

Answers

Answer:

Photoelectric effect, phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from a metal plate when light falls on it. In a broader definition, the radiant energy may be infrared, visible, or ultraviolet light, X-rays, or gamma rays; the material may be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles may be ions (electrically charged atoms or molecules) as well as electrons. The phenomenon was fundamentally significant in the development of modern physics because of the puzzling questions it raised about the nature of light—particle versus wavelike behaviour—that were finally resolved by Albert Einstein in 1905. The effect remains important for research in areas from materials science to astrophysics, as well as forming the basis for a variety of useful devices.

The emission of electrons from the surface of a metal by the action of light is called photoelectric effect. This phenomenon indicates the behavior of light as particles called photons.

What is photoelectric effect ?

The phenomenon of ejection of electrons from the surface of a metal when light of a suitable frequency falls on it is called photoelectric effect. Upon striking the surface of metals , light can set up an electric current which current which corresponds to the flow of electrons. This phenomenon is discovered by Einstein

For instance, visible light can cause ejection of electrons from the surface of metal like cesium which has low ionization enthalpy. This phenomenon is related to the observation that if light is considered as particles.

The particles of light is then called as photoelectrons or photons. Photoelectric effect find application in photoelectric cells used in colorimetry, spectrophotometers etc.

Answers

Answer:B

Explanation:

The diagram in which there is no current in the electric wire is B, the reason behind that it is not connected with the battery.

What is Electrical energy?

When put in an electromagnetic field, charged matter experiences a force due to the fundamental property of electric charge. Positive or negative electrical ions are possible.

When two charge are in opposition to one another, they repel one another. The term "neutral" refers to an object has no net charge. The early understanding of the way charged particles interact is now referred to as classical electrodynamics, and it is still true for issues that do not demand for taking into account quant phenomena.

Electrical charge is a preserved attribute, meaning that the net charged of an isolated system—that is, the sum of the positive and negative charges—cannot change. Particles at the subatomic level carry an electric charge.

The second diagram from the option will have no current in it because the wires are not connected with the battery, so the flow of current will not take place.
