In a certain library the first shelf is 15.0 cm off the ground, and the remaining four shelves are each spaced 38.0 cm above the

previous one. If the average book has a mass of 1.40 kg with a height of 22.0 cm, and an average shelf holds 28 books (standing vertically), how much work is required to fill all the shelves, assuming the books are all laying flat on the floor to start?

Answer:

1747.9 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done to lift a book by a certain height \Delta h is

W=mg\Delta h

where

m = 1.40 kg is the mass of one book

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The first shelf is 15.0 cm (0.15 m) from the ground, and it can be filled with 28 books. So, the work done to fill the first shelf is

W_1=28mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(0.15)=57.6 J

The 2nd shelf is 38.0 cm above the first one, so its height from the ground is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 =53.0 cm=0.53 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_2=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(0.53)=203.6 J

The height of the third shelf is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 +38.0=91.0 cm=0.91 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_3=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(0.91)=349.6 J

The height of the 4th shelf is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 +38.0+38.0=129.0 cm=1.29 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_4=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(1.29)=495.6 J

The height of the 5th shelf is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 +38.0+38.0+38.0=167.0 cm=1.67 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_5=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(1.67)=641.5 J

Therefore, the total work done is:

W=W_1+W_2+W_3+W_4+W_5=57.6+203.6+349.6+495.6+641.5=1747.9 J

Number of outcomes of rolling a die = 6
Number of outcomes from the spinner = 8

First we have to draw the 6 leaves to represent the 6 outcomes of rolling the die. Next on each of these leaves 8 possible outcomes of the spinner will be drawn using leaves.

So 6 leaves are being divided into further 8 leaves.

Thus total number of leaves will be  = 6 x 8 = 48 leaves

Therefore, the correct answer is option D

Answer:

x = 70 degrees,  y = 35 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle marked  x  is a central angle, so its measure is the <u>same</u> as the measure of the intercepted arc.

The angle marked  y  is an inscribed angle, so its measure is <u>half</u> the measure of the intercepted arc.

To increase and increase an amount by 70%<br>what single multiplier would you use?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Increase: 1.7

Decrease: 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase:

100% + 70% = 117%

117/ 100 = 1.7 (multiplier)

Decrease:

100% - 70%= 30%

30/ 100 = 0.3 (multiplier)
