Answer:W=\frac{3}{4} ft-lb

Explanation:

Given

Work required to stretch 1 ft is 12 ft-lb

and we have to find work required to stretch 3 in.

i.e. \frac{1}{4} ft

12=\frac{1}{2}K\left ( 1\right )^2 ------(1)

W=\frac{1}{2}k\left ( \frac{1}{4}\right )^2-----(2)

divide (1)&(2)

\frac{12}{W}=\left ( \frac{4}{1}\right )^2

W=\frac{12}{4\times 4}

W=\frac{3}{4} ft-lb

What does the word apparent mean in apparent visual magnitude
SSSSS [86.1K]

The word 'apparent' mean in apparent visual magnitude is, how bright the star appears when viewed from Earth.

What is visual magnitude?

The brightness of a celestial body is determined by eye estimation with or without optical aid or by other instrumentation equivalent to the eye in spectral sensitivity.

Apparent magnitude:

  • Apparent magnitude is a measure of how bright the star appears when viewed from Earth.
  • It is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object observed from Earth.
  • An object's apparent magnitude depends on its intrinsic luminosity and its distance from Earth.

Hence,

The word 'apparent' mean in apparent visual magnitude is, how bright the star appears when viewed from Earth.

If an airplane is moving at a constant speed of 500 miles per hour in a straight line is it accelerating?
Zinaida [17]

No. It’s moving at a constant speed (speed is not changing) in a straight line (same direction so velocity is not changing) so it is not accelerating. Acceleration only occurs if there’s a change in speed/velocity.

According to newton's second law, if you have an object that is put under acceleration due to a force, how could you reduce the
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

We could reduce the force or increase the mass of the object.

Explanation:

Using the definition of force, according to Newton's second law,  (F = ma) the acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass. Therefore, if we want to reduce the acceleration of an object we have two options:

  1. We could reduce the force
  2. We could increase the mass

In both cases a will decrease.  

I hope it helps you!
