A toy rocket is launched straight up by using a spring. The rocket is initially pressed down on the spring so that the spring is compressed by 9 cm. If the spring constant is 830 N/m and the mass of the rocket is 50 g, how high will the rocket fly?

6.86 meters

Explanation:

Let the compression of the string be represented by x, and the height of projection of the toy rocket be represented by h.

So that;

x = 9 cm = 0.09 m

In its rest position (i.e before the launch), the spring has a stored potential energy which is given as;

PE = K

    = x 830 x

    = 415 x 0.0081

    = 3.3615

The potential energy in the string = 3.36 Joules

Also,

PE = mgh

where: m is the mass, g is the gravitational force and h the height.

m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, g = 9.8 m

Thus,

PE = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.49h

⇒ h =

      = 6.8602

The height of the toy rocket would be 6.86 meters.

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
