A force of 60 N is used to stretch two springs that are initially the same length. Spring A has a spring constant of 4 N/m, and

spring B has a spring constant of 5 N/m.
How do the lengths of the springs compare?

A:Spring B is 1 m longer than spring A because 5 – 4 = 1.
B:Spring A is the same length as spring B because 60 – 60 = 0.
C:Spring B is 60 m longer than spring A because 300 – 240 = 60.
D:Spring A is 3 m longer than spring B because 15 – 12 = 3.

Answer:

D:Spring A is 3 m longer than spring B because 15 – 12 = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you should remember the Hooke's Law in physics.

The Hooke's Law simply explains that the extension that occurs on a spring is directly proportional to the load applied on it.

The mathematical expression for this law is

F=-kx

where;

F= force applied on the spring

x = the extension on the spring

k= the spring constant which varies in spring.

The question will need you to calculate the extension on the springs A and B then compare the values obtained.

<u>In spring A</u>

Force, F=60N and spring constant ,k=4 N/m

To find the extension x apply the expression;

F=-kx\\\\60=-4*x\\\\60=-4x\\\\\frac{60}{-4} =\frac{-4x}{-4} \\\\\\-15=x

Here the spring extension is 15 m

<u>In spring B</u>

Force, F=60N and spring constant , k=5N/m

To find the extension x apply the same expression

F=-kx\\\\60=-5*x\\\\60=-5x\\\\\\\frac{60}{-5} =\frac{-5x}{-5} \\\\\\-12=x

Here the extension on the spring is 12 m

<u>Compare</u>

The extension on spring A is 3 m longer than that in spring B because when you subtract the value of spring B from that in spring A you get 3m

=15m-12m=3m

If E F = 7 , A C = 16 , and A F = 9
Vilka [71]

Answers:

CB = 14

GF = 8

FB = 9

EF is parallel to CB

====================================

Explanations:

Points E and F are midpoints of their respective sides. They form the midsegment EF. Because EF is a midsegment, A midsegment is half the length of its parallel counterpart, so CB is two times longer than EF. If EF is 7 units long, then CB = 2*EF = 2*7 = 14

For similar reasons, GF is parallel to AC. If AC = 16, then half of that is GF = (1/2)*AC = 0.5*16 = 8.

FB = FA = 9 as these segments have the same single tickmark to indicate they are the same length

EF is parallel to CB because EF is a midsegment, and this is one of the properties of being a midsegment. We can show that quadrilateral EGBF is a parallelogram to help prove this.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR BEST ANSWERA
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The length of the road that runs straight from Pittsburgh to Jeanette is 29.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Bethel Park is 28 miles directly west of Jeanette

10.3 miles directly south of Pittsburgh

We can draw diagram

we can see that this is triangle

so, we can use Pythagoras theorem

and we get

x^2=28^2+10.3^2

now, we can solve for x

x=\sqrt{28^2+10.3^2}

x=29.834miles

So,

The length of the road that runs straight from Pittsburgh to Jeanette is 29.8 miles
