Answer:
114.44 J
Explanation:
From Hook's Law,
F = ke................. Equation 1
Where F = Force required to stretch the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.
make k the subject of the equation
k = F/e.............. Equation 2
Given: F = 10 lb = (10×4.45) N = 44.5 N, e = 4 in = (4×0.254) = 1.016 m.
Substitute into equation 2
k = 44.5/1.016
k = 43.799 N/m
Work done in stretching the 9 in beyond its natural length
W = 1/2ke²................. Equation 3
Given: e = 9 in = (9×0.254) = 2.286 m, k = 43.799 N/m
Substitute into equation 3
W = 1/2×43.799×2.286²
W = 114.44 J
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.
From the definition of logarithm we know that,

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

We can express this also as,

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.
So this can be expressed as

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6
(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:

where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know

and

, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:

where

is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
Answer:
Autotrophs
Explanation:
When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.
Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.
Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.
