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

emmainna [20.7K]
This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

Suppose you are in total equilibrium in water (in other words you are floating and not moving in any direction)What could you do
Eva8 [605]

Explanation:

According to newtons first law of motion:

'' a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion along a path unless it is acted upon by an external force".

A body in equilibrium that is floating will be stable and not move in any direction. Even if it moves, the motion will be constant wouldn't change.

  • To move the body in any direction, one has to swim.
  • Swimming is the application of an external force to counter the balanced forces at equilibrium on a body.
  • This works when the net external force is greater than that the balanced forces.

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​
gladu [14]

Answer:

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​virtual

Explanation:

A virtual image is always created by a convex mirror, and it is always situated behind the mirror. The picture is vertical and situated at the focus point when the item is far away from the mirror. As the thing approaches the mirror, the image follows suit and increases until it reaches the same height as the object.

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.
