The distance a spring stretches varies directly as the amount of weight that is hanging on it. A weight of 2.5 pounds stretches

a spring 18 inches. Find the stretch of the spring when a weight of 6.4 pounds is hanging on it.

We use the equation y = kx
y = 18, x = 2.5

18 = k2.5
k = 7.2

x = 6.4
y = 7.2*6.4
y = 46.08

hope this help

Answer:

The stretch of the spring is 46.08 inches.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 2.5 pounds

Stretches a spring = 18 inches

new weight = 6.4

We need to calculate the stretch of the spring

let stretch of the spring is x .

Using formula of restoring force

F=-kx

For first weight,

2.5=k\times18....(I)

For another weight,

6.4=k\times x....(II)

Ratio of equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{2.5}{6.4}=\dfrac{18}{x}

x=\dfrac{18\times6.4}{2.5}

x = 46.08\ inches

Hence, The stretch of the spring is 46.08 inches.

The AC voltage source is connected to an inductor and a resistor in series. If the frequency of the source is increased the curr
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

Explanation:

The current through the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{Z}

Where;

V is the voltage in the AC circuit

Z is the impedance

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}

Where;

R is the resistance

X_L is the inductive reactance

X_L = ωL = 2πfL

where;

L is the inductance

f is the frequency of the source

Finally, the current in the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (2\pi fL)^2} }

From the equation above, an increase in frequency (f) will cause a decrease in current (I).

Therefore, If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

What is the molar mass of a gas if 1.30g of the gas has a volume of 245mL at STP? ...?
padilas [110]
First, we assume this as an ideal gas so we use the equation PV=nRT. Then, we use the conditions at STP that would be 1 atm and 273.15 K. We calculate as follows:

PV= nRT
PV= mRT/MM

1 atm (.245 L) =1.30(0.08206)(273.15) / MM
MM = 118.94 g/mol <--- ANSWER
