A stone of mass 5g is projected with a rubber catapult. If catapult stretch though a distance of 7cm by an average force of 70n, calculate the velocity of the stone when released

Answer 1

find k using F = kx
the energy stored in the rubber is
E = 1/2 kx^2
all that PE became KE, so
1/2 kx^2 = 1/2 mv^2
plug in your numbers to find v.

Answer 2

work in = 70 * 0.07 =0.49 Joules
(1/2) m v^2 = 0.49
v^2 = .98 / 0.005 = 196
v = 14 m/s

Answer 3

catapult not usually spring, weight hauled back more often

Answer 4

K:E = P:E K:E=1/2MVsquare and P:E=MGH where force=MG 1/2MVsquare=FH make Vsquare subject of formular Vsquare=2FH/M solve Vsquare=2*70*7/5, Vsquare=980/5 , Vsquare=196 , root both sides , V= 14m/s

Answer 5

Sorry to say but all this answers are wrong... The answer supposed to be 44.2m/s. Please you guys should solve again

Answer 6

It not correct it suppose to be 44.2 ms-1

Answer 7

Wrong
