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 automobiles are 150 kilometers apart and traveling toward each other. One automobile
Vladimir79 [104]
Their relative speed is the sum of 60 and 40 or 100km/hr. They will travel the 150km in 1.5 hrs. When two object approach each other, the closing speed is just the sum of the speeds, therefore, the closing speed is your case is 100kph. So they will meet in 1.5 hours.

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

<em>The lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>

Explanation:

Sound: Sound is a form of wave which is conveyed through an elastic medium from a vibrating body to a listener.

v = 2x/t .......................................... Equation 1

making x the subject of the equation

x = vt/2........................................ Equation 2

Where v = velocity of sound in air, x = distance traveled by the sound, t = time

Given: v = 344 m/s t = 8 s

Substituting into equation 2

x = 344(8)/2

x = 1376 m.

x = 1376×0.00062 miles = 0.853 miles

<em>Thus the lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>

Grape juice solid-conduction , solid-convection,fluid-conduction , fluid-convection
Gelneren [198K]

The process by which the heat energy is transmitted between the atoms or molecules is known as conduction.

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through the material that are caused by temperature gradient with the material ends in heat flux. The heat transfer done by movement and mixing of a fluid is known as convection.

If a fluid is taken and it is kept as stationary. If there is a temperature gradient across that fluid, there would be transfer of heat that occurs in the fluid. It is negligible when compared to convective heat transfer.

Because of the heat transfer from solid to solid, density of liquid changes and start to move in upward direction due to low density. This type of motion is known as convection currents.

Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.
Damm [24]
Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)
