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

Measuring the volume of a ball that is 24cm across how can you set up an equation
BigorU [14]
The volume of every sphere is

           Volume = (4/3) (pi) (radius)³

When you say "across", I think you mean the diameter of the ball.
The radius is half of the diameter = 12 inches.

         Volume = (4/3) (pi) (12 inches)³

                       = (4/3) (pi) (1,728 cubic inches)

                       =    7,238.2 cubic inches .  (rounded)

An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know abou
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

A child looks at his reflection in a spherical Christmas tree ornament 8.0 cm in diameter in season that the image of his face i
malfutka [58]

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

focal length, f = radius of curvature/2 = 4/2

f = 2

Recall,

magnification = image d
