Energy and Work Physics questions(9 multiple choice, 1 open response--Do not have to answer all) ?

Hey Y!A, I was wondering if you could answer the following 10 problems. Also feel free to answer what you know, you don’t have to answer all of them thanks =).

DO NOT HAVE TO SHOW WORK from #’s 1-9, but for 10 show all work possible for every part seperatly.

#1-#9 Just multiple choice, don’t have to show work if you do not want….if you do that would be wonderful though….

Open response; please show all work for all parts, thanks.

10. A 6 kg ball is pressed against a spring with a k value of 23 N/m , compressing it by 0.5m. The spring is horizontally with a ledge. The length of the spring in its resting position equals the length of the ledge. The ledge is 15 m above the ground.

a. What is the elastic potential energy initially?

b. What is the gravitational potential energy when the ball leaves the spring?

c. What is the gravitational potential energy when the ball hits the ground?

d. Find the magnitude of the velocity vector when the ball hits the ground.

e. How far from the base of the ledge will the ball land

Thanks for answering, and please only answers relevant to answering the question,

    1.e

    Ff= u * Fn

    Ff= 0.4 * (15 * 9.8)

    Ff= 59N

    W= 59N * 15m

    W= 890J

    2. To much work to show but the answer is d.

    3. e

    4. d

    v2^2= 2 * 9.8m/s^2 * 2.5m

    v2^2= 49m^2/s^2

    v2=7.0m/s

    5. I believe it is c. III is possible for sure and I'm pretty sure the others aren't possible.

    6. c

    7. a

    8. I might be doing this one wrong, but I continuously got 60 even while minding significant digits. I guess that's close enough to 59?

    120N/sin 75=Ff/sin 30

    12N=Ff/ sin 30

    120N*sin 30 =Ff

    Ff= 60N

    9. Again, I kind of messed up on the calculations somewhere. I kept getting around 435-440W. So I'd go with d.

    10. Can't help with number 10. Sorry.

    B. The sounds we hear are vibrating waves that commute by the air and our ear drums p.c.. up the a number of frequencies. those waves can bounce off issues purely like a laser on a replicate, besides the actuality that some sound is absorbed via the reflecting floor. EDIT: extra evidence that sound can rebound off issues is that bats use sonar to navigate their way by caves with sonar. sonar works via the bats squeaking at very severe frequencies and whilst the sound bounces returned to them they are in a position to create a picture of their environment in line with how long and at what perspective they acquire the pondered sound. 8-)
