A force of 7 pounds is required to hold a spring stretched 0.4 feet beyond its natural length. How much work (in foot-pounds) is

done in stretching the spring from its natural length to 0.7 feet beyond its natural length?

Answer:

W = 8.575 foot-pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for work is: W = F*d

where F is force applied and d distance of the movement

from problem statement we have

d = 0,7 ft

We also know that the spring was stretched 0,4 ft when a force of 7 pounds was applied therefore

K the constant of the spring is

F = K*s

k = F/s ⇒ k = 7/0.4 ⇒ k = 17.5 pounds/feet

Now to move from original condition of the spring up to 0,7 feet we need a force of

F = k*s ⇒ F = 17,5 pounds/feet * 0.7 feet ⇒ F = 12.25 pounds

And finally the work

W = 12.25 * 0.7 = 8.575 foot-pounds

W = 8.575 foot-pounds

Answer:

y = -2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: (4-2)/5-1) = 2/4 = 1/2

Slope of the perpendicular line: -2

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

$\sqrt{xy}$

The Arithmetic mean is

$\frac{x + y}{2}$

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

$\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} } = \frac{3}{5}$

We can write the equation;

$\sqrt{xy} = 3$

or

$xy = 9 - - - (2)$

l

and

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 5$

or

$x + y = 10 - - - (2)$

Make y the subject in equation 2

$y = 10 - x - - - (3)$

Put equation 3 in 1

$x(10 - x) = 9$

$10x - {x}^{2} = 9$

${x}^{2} - 10x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0$

$x =1 \: or \: 9$

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

$\frac{1}{9}$

A semi-circle window can be used above a doorway or as an accent window

anzhelika [568]

A semicircle is a part of a circle, and it is referred to as half of a given circle. Thud the area of the <em>semi-circle</em> window is 982 $in^{2}$ .

A circle is a shape that is <u>bounded</u> by a <em>curved</em> path which is referred to as the <em>circumference</em>. Some <u>parts</u> of a circle are radius, diameter, sector, arc, semi-circle, circumference, etc.

A <em>semicircle</em> is a <u>part</u> of a <u>circle</u>, and it is referred to as <em>half </em>of a given <em>circle</em>.

such that:

<em>Area</em> of a <u>circle</u> = $\pi$ $r^{2}$

and

area of a <u>semicircle</u> = $\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2}$

where: r is the <u>radius </u>of the <u>circle</u>, and $\pi$ is a <u>constant </u>with a value of $\frac{22}{7}$ .

Thus from the given question, it can be inferred that;

r = $\frac{50}{2}$

= 25

r = 25 in

Thus, the area of the<em> semi-circle</em> can be determined as;

area of the <em>semi-circle</em> = $\frac{1}{2}$ * $\frac{22}{7}$ * $25^{2}$

= 982.1429

area of the semi-circle = 982.14 $in^{2}$

The area of the <em>semi-circle</em> window is approximately 982 $in^{2}$ .
