Answer:
The velocity of the steel pellet relative to the ground when it leaves the sling shot is approximately 5.960 meters per second.
Explanation:
Let suppose that RC car-slingshot-steelpellet is a conservative system, that is, that non-conservative forces (i.e. friction, air viscosity) can be neglected. The velocity of the steel pellet can be found by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and under the consideration that change in gravitational potential energy is negligible and that the RC car travels at constant velocity:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{C}+m_{P})\cdot v_{o}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{C}\cdot v_{o}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{P}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{P}\cdot v_{o}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{P}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]m_{P}\cdot v_{o}^{2} + k\cdot x^{2} = m_{P}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + \frac{k}{m_{P}}\cdot x^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2}+\frac{k}{m_{P}}\cdot x^{2} }[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Initial velocity of the steel pellet, measured in meters per second.
[tex]v[/tex] - Final velocity of the steel pellet, measured in meters per second.
[tex]k[/tex] - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.
[tex]m_{P}[/tex] - Mass of the steel pellet, measured in kilograms.
[tex]m_{C}[/tex] - Mass of the RC car, measured in kilograms.
[tex]x[/tex] - Initial deformation of the spring, measured in meters.
If we know that [tex]v_{o} = 5.6\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]k = 85\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]m_{P} = 0.025\,kg[/tex] and [tex]x = 0.035\,m[/tex], then the velocity of the steel pellet relative to the ground when it leaves the sling shot is:
[tex]v = \sqrt{\left(5.6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\frac{\left(85\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.035\,m)^{2}}{0.025\,kg} }[/tex]
[tex]v \approx 5.960\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
The velocity of the steel pellet relative to the ground when it leaves the sling shot is approximately 5.960 meters per second.
A car enters a 105-m radius flat curve on a rainy day when the coefficient of static friction between its tires and the road is 0.4. What is
the maximum speed which the car can travel around the curve without sliding
Static friction (magnitude Fs) keeps the car on the road, and is the only force acting on it parallel to the road. By Newton's second law,
Fs = m a = W a / g
(a = centripetal acceleration, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity)
We have
a = v ² / R
(v = tangential speed, R = radius of the curve)
so that
Fs = W v ² / (g R)
Solving for v gives
v = √(Fs g R / W)
Perpendicular to the road, the car is in equilibrium, so Newton's second law gives
N - W = 0
(N = normal force, W = weight)
so that
N = W
We're given a coefficient of static friction µ = 0.4, so
Fs = µ N = 0.4 W
Substitute this into the equation for v. The factors of W cancel, so we get
v = √((0.4 W) g R / W) = √(0.4 g R) = √(0.4 (9.80 m/s²) (105 m)) ≈ 20.3 m/s

An electric range has a constant current of 10 A entering the positive voltage terminal with a voltage of 110 V. The range is operated for two hours, (a) Find the charge in coulombs that passes through the range, (b) Find the power absorbed by the range, (c) If electric energy costs 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, determine the cost of operating the range for two hours.
Answer:
A. 72000 C
B. 1100 W
C. 26.4 cents.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Current (I) = 10 A
Voltage (V) = 110 V
Time (t) = 2 h
A. Determination of the charge.
We'll begin by converting 2 h to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:
1 h = 3600 s
Therefore,
2 h = 2 h × 3600 s / 1 h
2 h = 7200 s
Thus, 2 h is equivalent to 7200 s.
Finally, we shall determine the charge. This can be obtained as follow:
Current (I) = 10 A
Time (t) = 7200 s
Charge (Q) =?
Q = It
Q = 10 × 7200
Q = 72000 C
B. Determination of the power.
Current (I) = 10 A
Voltage (V) = 110 V
Power (P) =?
P = IV
P = 10 × 110
P = 1100 W
C. Determination of the cost of operation.
We'll begin by converting 1100 W to KW. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 W = 1 KW
Therefore,
1100 W = 1100 W × 1 KW / 1000 W
1100 W = 1.1 KW
Thus, 1100 W is equivalent to 1.1 KW
Next, we shall determine the energy consumption of the range. This can be obtained as follow:
Power (P) = 1.1 KW
Time (t) = 2 h
Energy (E) =?
E = Pt
E = 1.1 × 2
E = 2.2 KWh
Finally, we shall determine the cost of operation. This can be obtained as follow:
1 KWh cost 12 cents.
Therefore, 2.2 KWh will cost = 2.2 × 12
= 26.4 cents.
Thus, the cost of operating the range for 2 h is 26.4 cents.
