A5.2 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. the spring must be compressed 8.0 cm if the marble is to just reach a target 13 m above the marble's position on the compressed spring.
(a) what is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-earth system during the 13 m ascent?
j

(b) what is the change in the elastic potential energy of the spring during its launch of the marble?
j

(c) what is the spring constant of the spring?
n/m

Find the mass by adding the numbers from the three sliders

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i.e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that

The flame produced by the burner of a gas (propane) grill is a pale blue color when enough air mixes with the propane (c3h8) to burn it completely. for every gram of propane that flows through the burner, what volume of air is needed to burn it completely? assume that the temperature of the burner is 195.0°c, the pressure is 1.05 atm, and the mole fraction of o2 in air is 0.210.
