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 .

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Reptile [31]

Initial speed of the coin (u)= 0 (As the coin is released from rest)

Acceleration due to gravity (a) = g = 9.81 m/s²

Time of fall (t) = 1.5 s

From equation of motion we have:

\boxed{ \bf{v = u + at}}

By substituting values in the equation, we get:

\longrightarrow v = 0 + 9.81 × 1.5

\longrightarrow v = 14.715 m/s

\therefore Speed of the coin as it hits the ground/Final speed of the coin = 14.715 m/s

Particle q1 has a positive 6 µC charge. Particle q2 has a positive 2 µC charge. They are located 0.1 meters apart.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

F = 10.788 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=6\ \mu C=6\times 10^{-6}\ C

Charge 2, q_2=2\ \mu C=2\times 10^{-6}\ C

Distance between charges, d = 0.1 m

We know that there is a force between charges. It is called electrostatic force. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2 }\\\\F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 6\times 10^{-6}\times 2\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2 }\\\\F=10.788\ N

So, the force applied between charges is 10.788 N.

An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc
Afina-wow [57]
The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity. 

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.
