A ping-pong ball weighs 0.025 N. The ball is placed inside a cup that sits on top of a vertical spring. If the spring is compres

sed 0.055 m and released, the maximum height above the compressed position that the ball reaches is 2.84 m. Neglect air resistance and determine the spring constant.

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy stored in the spring is used to throw the ball upwards . Let the height reached be h

stored energy of spring = 1/2 k y² , k is spring constant and y is compression created in the spring

stored energy of spring = potential energy of the ball

1/2 k y² = mgh , m is mass of the ball , h is height attained by ball

.5 k x .055² = .025  x 2.84

.0015125 k = .071

k = .071 / .0015125

= 46.9 N / m .

<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>

g A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobb
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

total weight acting downwards

= 3g + 10g

13 g

volume of lead = 10 / 11.3 = .885 cm³

Let the volume of bobber submerged in water be v in floating position . buoyant force on bobber  = v x 1 x g

Buoyant force on lead =  .885 x 1 x g

total buoyant force = vg + .885 g

For floating

vg + .885 g  = 13 g

v = 12.115 cm³

total volume of bobber

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 2³

= 33.5 cm³

fraction of volume submerged

= 12.115  / 33.5

= .36  

= 36 %

Haley noticed a small spot on her skin that turned out to be skin cancer. Which treatment is her doctor most likely to use?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Radiation therapy

Explanation:

Her doctor is more likely to use radiation therapy to irradiate the cancerous cells on the skin. The doctor uses soft x-rays to kill the cancer cells. The therapy is used even after surgery as it has the advantage of delaying the advancement of future cancers.

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i
beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)
