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

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

B. The maximum angle decreases

Explanation:

If θ be the maximum angle of a slope that allows a crate placed on it to remain at rest , following condition exists .

tanθ = μ , θ is called angle of repose . μ is coefficient of static friction .

So the tan of angle of repose θ is proportional to coefficient of static friction.

If coefficient of static friction is less than .7 , naturally angle of repose will also become less ,ie,  it at lower angle of inclination , the object will start slipping .

A person is diving in a lake in the depth of h = 5.5 m. The density of the water is rho = 1.0 x10^3 kg/m^3. The pressure of the
Cloud [144]

Answer:a) P = Po + rho×h×g

b) P = 5.4 × 10^9 pa

c) F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

d) 1.174×10^11N

Explanation: Using the formula

P = Po + rho×h×g

P =  1.0 x 10^5 + 1000 × 5.5 × 9.81

P = 5.4 × 10^9pa

The magnitude of the force exerted by water on the top of the person's head F at the depth h in terms of P

F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

Using the above formula

Where A = 0.046m^2

F = P/ A = 5.4×10^9/0.046

F = 1.174×10^11N

Describe how gps data are used in the study of certain animals
zheka24 [161]

GPS also known as Global positioning system is a satellite-based radio -navigation system used for many purposes, animal tracking being one of them.

In GPS tracking, a GPS tag is placed on the animal. This picks up signals from special satellites and the data is stored on-board the tag or transmitted to the user through a communication network.

These tags provide very accurate location estimations for animals. Thus it helps scientists and other wildlife observers with the accurate locations of animals and helps them in their studying and thesis work.
