Mickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 0.0227 kg,0.0227 kg, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball." he is loaded into a spring‑powered gun pointing up at some angle and is shot into the air. the gun's spring has a force constant of 51.1 n/m51.1 n/m and is initially compressed a distance of 0.129 m0.129 m from its relaxed position. if mickey has a constant horizontal speed of 2.27 m/s2.27 m/s while he is flying through the air, how high ℎh above his initial location in the gun does mickey soar? assume =9.81 m/s2.

1.65 m

Explanation:

Energy from spring, is given by

where k is spring constant and x is the compression distance

Kinetic energy, KE at the highest point is given by

where m is mass and v is velocity

KE=0.5*0.0227*2.27= 0.058485 J

Potential energy, PE of spring is given by

PE=mgh where g is gravitational constant and h is maximum height reached by the mouse

PE=0.0227*9.81= 0.222687h

According to the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy of the compressed spring is equal to the potential and kinetic energy of the mouse at the maximum high point.

0.425=0.222687h+0.058485

h=(0.425-0.058485)/ 0.222687=1.646671 m

h=1.65 m

probably not the "magnets"in the magnet, so to speak, are thought to be electrons orbiting in shells. vurrent loops two sides to the loop

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
