A 12.0 g pebble is placed in a sling shot with a spring constant of 200.0 N/m and is stretched back 0.450 m. What is the maximum velocity the pebble will acquire?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of pebble [tex]m=12\ gm[/tex]

Spring constant [tex]k=200\ N/m[/tex]

extension in the sling shot is [tex]x=0.450 m[/tex]

As energy is conserved therefore Slingshot Elastic Potential Energy is converted into kinetic Energy of Pebble

[tex]\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

[tex]200\times (0.45)^2=12\times 10^{-3}\times v^2[/tex]

[tex]v^2=200\times (0.45)^2\times 10^{3}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{4.05\times 10^4}[/tex]

[tex]v=201.24\ m/s[/tex]

Answer:

v = 58.1 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of pebble m = 12.0 g = 0.012 kg

Spring constant of sling shot k = 200.0 N/m

Stretch in the spring x = 0.450 m

1/2 kx² = 1/2mv²

v = √kx²/m

v = √(200.0)(0.450)²/0.012

v = 58.09475019 m/s

v = 58.1 m/s
