Answer:

D. 803 lbs

Explanation:

In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:

Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5

Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25

Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25

Area = 36.75

Now, the stress is given by the following formula:

Stress = Force/Area

Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75

Stress = 802.72 lbs

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>D. 803 lbs</u>

List an example of each of the four classes polymers that living things make and use
slamgirl [31]


The four classes of polymers are:

1. Nucleic acids.  Examples are DNA and RNA

2. Protein. Examples are enzymes and hemoglobin

3. Carbohydrates. Examples as starch and glycogen

4. Lipids. Examples are triglycerides and phospholipids

The building blocks of nucleic acids are called bases and there are four types known as Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The building blocks of carbohydrates are glucose molecules.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

The building blocks of lipids are a combination of fatty acids and glycerol.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

0.43 s

Explanation:

We have the following parameters:

Initial velocity, u = 7.4 m/s

Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Distance, s = 43 in + 10 ft = 1.092 m + 3.048 m = 4.14 m

Time, t = ?

Using the equation of motion s=ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2, we have

4.14 = 7.4t + 0.5\times9.8t^2

4.9t^2 + 7.4t - 4.14 =0

Using the quadratic formula \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} where a = 4.9, b = 7.4 and c = - 4.14, and solving for the positive value of t only, we have

t = 0.43 s
