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.

A group of campers travels to a cabin which has no electrical power. In order to provide for a heater and lights, which device w
larisa [96]

Answer:A generator is the appropriate device to be used.

Explanation:

A generator is a device which transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy.

The different parts of a generator includes:

- Engine, alternator, fuel system, voltage regulator, lubricating system, cooling and exhaust system, Battery charger and control panel.

The generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction which states that

that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Therefore, the use of a generator is the best device for the campers to provide electrical power source for their heaters and light in the cabin.

Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).
