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

An engineer has the task of producing an aluminum alloy with a density of 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter. She comes up with the
pochemuha

Answer:

The best option is for the following option m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]

Explanation:

We have that the density of a body is defined as the ratio of mass to volume.

Ro =m/V

where:

Ro = density = 3 [g/cm³]

Now we must determine the densities with each of the given values.

<u>For m = 7 [g] and V = 2.3 [cm³]</u>

Ro=7/2.3\\Ro=3.04 [g/cm^{3} ]

<u>For m = 10 [g] and V = 7 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=10/7\\Ro=1.42[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

<u>For m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=15/5\\Ro=3[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

<u>For m = 21 [g] and V = 8 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=21/8\\Ro=2.625[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

How can you incorporate the information
il63 [147K]

Explanation:

There are many ways to achieve a healthier lifestyle and increase fitness. Healthy eating and constant exercise are essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Through effective nutrition the human body is able to function better, there is an increase in disposition, improvement in immunity, improvement in blood rates, etc. Physical exercise, on the other hand, assists in strengthening muscles, controlling blood pressure, preventing cardiovascular disease, greater satisfaction, less stress, etc.

Some simple examples that can assist in improving health and fitness are:

  • Reduction of processed foods, sugars and soft drinks.
  • Increased fiber intake
  • Daily walks of at least 30 minutes
  • Increased water consumption
  • Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables
  • Incorporate meditation and yoga practices

Air is cooled in a process with constant pressure of 150 kPa. Before the process begins, air has a specific volume of 0.062 m^3/
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.

the specific volumes are:

initial = 0.062 m^3/kg

final = 0.027 m^3/kg.

Then, the specific work can be written as:

W = \int\limits^{vf}_{vi} {Pdv} \, = P(vf - vi) = 150kPa*(0.0027 - 0.062)m^3/kg = -5.25 kPa*m^3/kg.

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.

Now, to write it in more common units we have that:

1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.

-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC , is
ICE Princess25 [194]

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC, is on the x axis at x=0.500 m.

No, there is no point at a finite distance where the electric potential is zero.

Hence, Option D) is correct.

What is electric potential?

Electric potential is the capacity for doing work. In the electrical case, a charge will exert a force on some other charge and the potential energy arises. For example, if a positive charge Q is fixed at some point in space, any other positive charge when brought close to it will experience a repulsive force and will therefore have potential energy.

It is also defined as the amount of work required to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field.
