Answer:

(a) 220 lb

(b) 10.75 in-lb

Explanation:

(a) We know that if a 110 lb person compresses the spring 0.11 inches, then a person weighing double that amount will compress the spring double, i.e. the person would weigh 220 lb.

(b) The amount of work done in compressing the spring 0.11 inch is given by the integral:  

110/.11=1210

\int\limits^\frac{1}{20} _0 {1210x} \, dx

=10.75 in-lb

Two vehicles approach an intersection: a truck moving eastbound at 16.0 m/s and an SUV moving southbound at 20.0 m/s. Suppose th
mario62 [17]

Answer:25.61 m/s

Explanation:

Given

truck is moving eastbound with a velocity of 16 m/s

Velocity of truck v_t=16\hat{i}

SUV is moving south with a velocity of 20 m/s

Velocity of SUV in vector form v_s=-20\hat{j}

Velocity of truck relative to the SUV

v_{ts}=v_{t}-v_s

v_{ts}=16\hat{i}-(-20\hat{j})

Magnitude of relative velocity is

|v_{ts}|=\sqrt{16^2+20^2}

|v_{ts}|=25.61\ m/s

Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor, and the current is flowing toward you. The lines of magnetic f
alekssr [168]

Answer:c

Explanation:

When the direction of current is towards the observer then the magnetic field around it will be in the form of concentric circles and its direction will be anti-clockwise when viewed from the observer side.

Whenever current is flowing in a current-carrying conductor then the magnetic field is associated with it and direction of the magnetic field is given by right-hand thumb rule according to which if thumb represents the direction of current then wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field
