<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 spring is compressed 0.035 m inside a dart gun. (K=500 N/m). The spring has elastic energy. Calculate it.

NARA [144]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.31 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

For the spring in this problem, we have:

k = 500 N/m (spring constant)

x = 0.035 m (compression)

Substituting, we find the elastic potential energy:

$E=\frac{1}{2}(500)(0.035)^2=0.31 J$

A crime suspect fled the scene when police officers entered the building. How far could he run in 10 minutes if he can run 5 mil

emmainna [20.7K]

(5 mi/hr) x (1hr/60min) x (10min) = 5 x 10 / 60 = <em>5/6 mile</em>

(5/6 mile) x (1,760 yd/mile) = <em>1,466 and 2/3 yards</em>

In a Young's double-slit experiment, light of wavelength 500 nm illuminates two slits which are separated by 1 mm. The separatio

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

b. 0.25cm

Explanation:

You can solve this question by using the formula for the position of the fringes:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

m: order of the fringes

lambda: wavelength 500nm

D: distance to the screen 5 m

d: separation of the slits 1mm=1*10^{-3}m

With the formula you can calculate the separation of two adjacent slits:

$\Delta y=\frac{(m+1)(\lambda D)}{d}-\frac{m\lambda D }{d}=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\\\\\Delta y=\frac{(500*10^{-9}nm)(5m)}{1*10^{-3}m}=2.5*10^{-3}m=0.25cm$

hence, the aswer is 0.25cm
