A toy uses a spring to shoot an arrow with a suction cup on the end. The toy shoots a 34.2 g arrow and gives it a speed of 5.50

m/s. If the efficiency of the toy is 69.0%, how much elastic potential energy was stored in the spring? Show all your work.

Explanation:

When a spring propels an arrow, the stored Elastic Potential Energy is transformed into Kinetic Energy.

The efficiency of the Spring Toy is rated at 69%

According to the Conservation of Energy principle:

P. E. = K. E.

Thus,

69% of the stored P. E. equals m * v^2 / 2

P.E. = \frac{0.0342 \times 5.5 \times 5.5}{2 \times 0.69} = 0.75J

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J. Explanation: Information provided indicates that the capacitance of the original capacitor is C = 1.27 F, and the potential difference applied to it is V = 59.9 kV, or 59.9 × 10³ V. The potential energy (U) for the capacitor is determined by the formula: U = (1/2) × C × V². Substituting the respective values, we find U = (1/2) × 1.27 × (59.9 × 10³)², resulting in U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J.

Two charges of magnitude 5nC and -2nC are placed at points (2cm,0,0) and
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

The electric potential energy U is calculated with the formula U = kq₁q₂/r, where q₁ = 5 nC (5 × 10⁻⁹ C) and q₂ = -2 nC (-2 × 10⁻⁹ C) and r is determined as √(x - 2)² + (0 - 0)² + (0 - 0)² = x - 2. This leads to U = -0.5 µJ (-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J), where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².

Thus, solving for r gives us r = kq₁q₂/U

which leads to x - 2 = kq₁q₂/U

Then, rearranging gives x = 0.02 + kq₁q₂/U m

So, x = 0.02 + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 5 × 10⁻⁹ C × -2 × 10⁻⁹ C/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

Resulting in x = 0.02 - 90 × 10⁻⁹ Nm²/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

This simplifies to x = 0.02 + 0.18 = 0.2 m, or 20 cm

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Ostrovityanka [3204]
This is somewhat misleading, and I encountered the same question in my homework. An electric field strength of 1*10^5 N/C is provided, along with a drag force of 7.25*10^-11 N, and the critical detail is that it maintains a constant velocity, indicating that the particle is in equilibrium and not accelerating.
<span>To solve, utilize F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>You'll want to equate F with the drag force, where the electric field strength translates to (K*Q2)/r^2; substituting the values results in </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
Keith_Richards [3271]

The frequency of a sound remains constant as it departs from the source. It does not alter.

The voices of swimmers do not modify in frequency when transitioning to or from the water. Only their speed and wavelength vary.
