A spring powered dart gun is unstretched and has a spring constant 100 N/m. The spring is compressed by 8 cm and a 5 gram projectile is placed in the gun. The maximum height of the projectile(from its compressed position) when it is shot straight up from the gun is?

Agenerator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. when a coil placed between two magnets rotates, the magnetic lines of force are disturbed. this induces a current in the coil. the image below shows a generator. what could be done to make the lamp brighter? a. decrease the size of the magnets b. turn the coil slower c. change the polarity of the magnets d. turn the coil faster

The percent efficiency of a machine can never be 100% (or greater), because in the real world some energy is always converted into a. heat b. work c. input force d. output force

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg. k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.
