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

Suppose the value of one division of vernier scale is 0.5mm and the value of one main scale
gregori [183]

Answer:

-0.01 mm

Explanation:

We are given that

The value of one division of vernier scale =0.5 mm

The value of one main scale division=0.49 mm

We have to find the value of least count of the instrument in mm.

We know that

Leas count of vernier caliper=1 main scale division-1 vernier scale division

Least count of vernier caliper=0.49-0.50=-0.01 mm

Hence, the least count of the instrument=-0.01 mm

Answer: -0.01 mm

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities
borishaifa [10]
Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.

a glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap the absolute pressure of the gas inside the bottle is 1.80*10^5 pa. assuming t
eduard

The force exerted by a pressure of any gas over a surface its given by the formula P=F/S (where P is pressure, F force and S surface).

We can multiply both sides of the formula by S to obtain the force.

P*S=(F*S)/S

P*S=F

Solve for P=1.80*10^5 Pa and S=4.10*10^-4 m^2 ([Pa] =[N/m^s])

(1.80*10^5 N/m^s) * (4.10*10^-4 m^2) =F

73.8 N =F

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current
Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

<em>R = 480 Ohms</em>

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is.  (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.
