"You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is k

is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass M hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass m is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block. The spring's maximum compression d is measured."
"Find an expression for the bullet's speed vB. Express your answer in terms of the variables m, M, k, d, and constant g."
I've been able to find a few solutions that produce the right result, but none that use the variable g, which MasteringPhysics is requiring. Can anyone help me find a correct equation for the problem that contains the g constant in it?

Answer:

In your question which ask to design a ballistic spring system to measure the speed of bullet. The ask is to find the expression for the bullets speed by using the term given in your question so base on the data you have given and with my calculation the answer is  (M+m)*g*d + 1/2*k*(d1-d)^2

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two square plates, size L×L, separated by distance d. The plates are given charge ±
vampirchik [111]

Answer: A) 2 B) 4 C) 1

Explanation:

The Electric field from a parallel-plate capacitor  is given by:

A) E=Q/(L^2 * ε0) so if we put a charge double the final electric field is double that the original.

B) from the above expression for the electric field,  If the size of the plate is double, then the E final is four times weaker that the original.

C) If the distante between plates is doubled the final electric field is the same that initial.

Para proteger un computador de sobrecargas eléctricas, Juan coloca un filamento delgado de cobre llamado fusible en su circuito,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Los fusibles están diseñados de tal forma que estos se "rompen" o se funden, cuando la demanda eléctrica supera un dado valor (cuando demasiada electricidad pasa a través de el).

Una vez el filamento se rompe, la corriente ya no puede circular por el (podes pensar en esta situación como un cable roto, la electricidad no puede circular por este cable)

Entonces, al romperse el filamento, en caso de una sobrecarga eléctrica, el flujo de electricidad se corta, y de esta forma se protege al computador de posibles sobrecargas.

Car B is following Car A and has a greater speed than Car A. the two cars are moving in a straight line and in the same directio
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Collision force will be same in both the cases.

Explanation:

A perfectly inelastic collision is said to take place  when a system loses the amount of its Kinetic Energy at its maximum. In a perfectly inelastic collision,  the colliding particles stick to each other. In such a collision, kinetic energy is lost by combining the two bodies with each other.

In situation 1:

Speed of Car A, v_{A} = 10 mph

Speed of Car B, v_{B} = 20 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Now, in the situation 2:

Speed of car A, v_{A} = 30 mph

Speed of car B, v_{B} = 40 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Therefore, Car A and Car B both have the same relative speed, v = 10 m/s

A fisherman casts his bait toward the river at an angle of 25° above the horizontal. As the line unravels, he notices that the b
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

v_{o}=18m/s

Explanation:

According to the exercise we know the angle which the bait was released and its maximum height

\beta =25\\y=2.9m

To find the initial y-component of velocity we need to do the following steps:

v_{y}^{2} =v_{oy}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

At maximum height the y-component of velocity is 0 and from the exercise we know that the initial y position is 0

0=v_{oy}^{2}-2(9.8m/s^2)(2.9m)

v_{oy}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^{2} )(2.9m)} =7.53m/s

Since the bait is released at 25º

v_{oy}=v_{o}sin(25)

v_{o}=\frac{7.53m/s}{sin(25)}=18m/s

What type of weather modification involves the use of large fans to mix surface air with air aloft?
dlinn [17]
The type of weather modification is intentional weather modification. Intentional in such a way that there are practical methods applied in order to force/alter the weather condition. For example, frost prevention on crops. Farmers normally utilize large fans to get the warmer air from above to mix with the cold air near the ground surface. By doing so, crops are kept from being ruined by frost.
