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

matrenka [14]

Answer:

sensory adaption

Explanation:

Sensory adaption is the phenomenon where the intensity of a stimulus experienced by an organism decreases after a certain amount of exposure to the stimulus. This happens in order for us to pay attention to other stimulus.

When you are driving with the windows down and listening to music you are subjected to a lot of stimuli. Here, most of our attention needs to be on driving. So, our brain drowns all the other unneccessary stimuli like the music.

When you enter the car again where the other stimuli which were present while driving are absent, all your attention is diverted to the music. So, your're ears hurt.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

A. Positive, positive

Explanation:

As we defined the ground is the origin, as long as the rock is above the ground, its position would always be positive.

As for velocity, as long as the rock is moving upwards, its direction is also upward, so its velocity is always positive. The velocity will become negative when the rock falls down.
