Answer:

S₉ = 255.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{a_{1}(r^{n}-1) }{r-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 0.5 and r = $\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }$ = $\frac{1}{0.5}$ = 2 , then

S₉ = $\frac{0.5(2^{9}-1) }{2-1}$

= $\frac{0.5(512-1)}{1}$

= 0.5(511)

= 255.5

The muscular work completed by four men will be 2400 ft. lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram of the ramp.

Four men carry 20 boxes each up a ramp as shown.

So, 4 men carry total (4 × 20) = 80 boxes up the ramp and each box weighs 5 pounds.

Then, the 4 men carry total (80 × 5) = 400 lb weight up the ramp.

Now, the vertical height of the ramp from the ground level is 6 ft.

Hence, the muscular work completed by four men will be (400 × 6) = 2400 ft. lbs. (Answer)

A force of 60 N is used to stretch two springs that are initially the same length. Spring A has a spring constant of 4 N/m, and

Answer:

D:Spring A is 3 m longer than spring B because 15 – 12 = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you should remember the Hooke's Law in physics.

The Hooke's Law simply explains that the extension that occurs on a spring is directly proportional to the load applied on it.

The mathematical expression for this law is

$F=-kx$

where;

F= force applied on the spring

x = the extension on the spring

k= the spring constant which varies in spring.

The question will need you to calculate the extension on the springs A and B then compare the values obtained.

In spring A

Force, F=60N and spring constant ,k=4 N/m

To find the extension x apply the expression;

$F=-kx\\\\60=-4*x\\\\60=-4x\\\\\frac{60}{-4} =\frac{-4x}{-4} \\\\\\-15=x$

Here the spring extension is 15 m

In spring B

Force, F=60N and spring constant , k=5N/m

To find the extension x apply the same expression

$F=-kx\\\\60=-5*x\\\\60=-5x\\\\\\\frac{60}{-5} =\frac{-5x}{-5} \\\\\\-12=x$

Here the extension on the spring is 12 m

Compare

The extension on spring A is 3 m longer than that in spring B because when you subtract the value of spring B from that in spring A you get 3m

$=15m-12m=3m$
