<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The answer is the first option, 100 ft-lbs.

To calculate the work done by an object over a distance, we need to multiply the applied force by the amount of movement (distance).

So, to calculate the work that Gary needs to do to move the chair, we need to use the following equation:

$Work=Force*Distance$

We are given,

$Force=20lb\\Distance=5ft$

$Work=F*D\\Work=(20lb)*(5ft)=100ft-lbs$

Hence, the answer is the first option, 100 ft-lbs.

Have a nice day!

A 5.00 kg mass is placed on top of a vertical spring, which compresses a distance of 3.13 cm. Calculate the force constant (in N

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m=5kg

compression x= 3.13cm to m= 0.0313m

<em>According to Hooke's law, provided the elastic limit of an elastic material is not exceeded the extension e is directly proportional to the applied force</em>

F=ke

where

k= spring constant in N/m

e= extension/compression in

Step two:

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

F=mg

F=5*9.81

F=49.05N

substitute in the expression F=ke

49.05=k*0.0313

k=49.05/0.0313

k=1567.09 N/m

<u>The force constant (in N/m) of the spring is 1567.09 N/m</u>

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.7 m/s rel

mafiozo [28]

Here it is given that speed of migrating Robin is 12 m/s relative to air

so we can say that

$\vec v_{ra} = 12 m/s$ North

so it will be

Let North direction is along Y axis and East direction is along X axis

$\vec v_{ra} = 12\hat j$

also it is given that speed of air is 6.7 m/s relative to ground

$\vec v_a = 6.7 \hat i$

now as we know by the concept of relative motion

$\vec v_{ab} = \vec v_a - \vec v_b$

$\vec v_{ra} = \vec v_r - \vec v_a$

now by rearranging the terms

$\vec v_r = \vec v_{ra} + \vec v_a$

$\vec v_r = 12 \hat j + 6.7 \hat i$

now we need to find the speed of Robin which means we need to find the magnitude of its velocity which we found above

So here we will say

$v_r = \sqrt{12^2 + 6.7^2}$

$v_r = 13.7 m/s$

so the net speed of Robin with respect to ground will be 13.7 m/s

How do veins control the flow of blood

Alik [6]

Answer: Blood primarily moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of smooth muscle in the vessel wall and by the action of the skeletal muscle as the body moves. Because most veins must move blood against the pull of gravity, blood is prevented from flowing backward in the veins by one-way valves.

Good luck !

A phone cord is 4.89 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.212 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the tau

slega [8]

Answer:

Tension in Cord=174 N

Explanation:

Given Data

L (Phone Cord Length)=4.89 m

m (Cord Mass)=0.212 Kg

T (Time for four trips)=0.617 s

Tension=?

Solution

V=λ×f

$V=\frac{8*4.89}{0.617}\\ V=63.4m/s$

$Sigma=\frac{mass}{length}\\ Sigma=\frac{0.212}{4.89}\\ Sigma=0.0433 \frac{kg}{m}$

$Wave Speed=\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Sigma} }\\ \\V=\sqrt{\frac{T}{Sigma} }\\ V^{2}=\frac{T}{Sigma}\\ T=V^{2}*Sigma\\ T=(63.4)^{2}*(0.0433)\\ T=174 N$
