9: A post is being driven into the ground. The first strike drives the post 25 inches into the ground. Each additional strike dr

ives the stake 4/5 the distance further into the ground than the previous strike. What is the total distance (to the nearest inch) than the post is driven into the ground after 7 strikes?

Answer:

99

Explanation:

First strike=25 in

Second strike=4/5*25=20 in

Third strike=4/5*20=16 in

Fourth strike=4/5*16=12.8 in

Fifth strike=4/5*12.8=10.24 in

sixth strike=4/5*10.24=8.192 in

seventh strike=4/5*8.192=6.5536 in

Total=(25+20+16+12.8+10.24+8.192+6.5536) in=98.7856 in

Taking this as a geometric series

Sum(7)=a\frac{(1-r^{7}}{1-r} where a is initial value taken as 25 for this case and r is rate taken as 4/5 or 0.8 in our case

Sum(7)=25\frac {1-0.8^{7}}{1-0.8}=98.7856 in

To the nearest inches, sum is 99 in

What is impossible for a machine to do?
Art [367]

Answer:

A) do a greater amount of work than the amount of work done on the machine

Explanation:

By the principle of conservation of energy, energy can never be created or destroyed.

To do more work by a machine than the amount of work done on the machine is impossible because to do so machine will have to create energy within itself which violates the principle of conservation of energy.

Extra bit,

These kind of machine are defined as perpetual-motion machines and there are many attempts in history to create one such device but all were failed.

A bullet of mass 20g is horizontally fired with a velocity of 150m/s from a pistol of mass 2 kg. What is the
kiruha [24]

Answer:

m1 = 20g (= 0.02 kg)

Mass of pistol, m2 = 2 kg

Initial velocity of the bullet (u1) and pistol (u2) = 0

Final velocity of the bullet, v1 = +150m s-1

Let v be the recoil velocity of the pistol.

Total momentum of the pistol and bullet after it is fired is

= (0.02 kg x 150 m s-1) + (2 kg x v m s-1)

= (3 + 2v) kg m s-1

Total momentum after the fire = Total momentum before the fire

3 + 2v = 0

→v = -1.5 m/s
