Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

g = 31 ft/s²

For every 1 lbf force, the compression is 1in

Then we can know the spring constant.

From Hooke's Law

F = Kx

K = F/x

K = 1/0.14

K = 7.143 lbf/in

Now, if the spring deflection is 1.8in

Then, the force applied is

F = kx

F = 7.143 × 1.8

F = 12.857 lbf

Now, this force is equal to the weight of the body

And weight of the body can be determined using.

W = mg

Therefore,

m = W/g

m = 12.857 / 31

m = 0.415 lb

The mass of the object is 0.415 pounds

A wire carries a current of 4.1 A. How many electrons per second are passing any cross sectional area of the wire? Enter your an
aivan3 [116]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Current and Load.

The current in terms of the charge of an electron can be expressed as

i = \frac{q}{t}

Where,

q = Charge

t = time

At the same time the Charge is the amount of electrons multiplied by the amount of these, that is

q = ne

Replacing in the first equation we have to

i = \frac{q}{t}

i = \frac{ne}{t}

Clearing n,

n = \frac{it}{e}

Here the time is one second then

n = \frac{i}{e}

n = \frac{4.1}{1.6*10^{-9}}

n = 2.56*10^{19}electrons

Therefore the number of electrons per second are passing any cross sectional area of the wire are 2.56*10^{19}electrons

If an airplane is flying directly north at 300.0 km/h, and a crosswind is hitting the airplane at 50.0 km/h from the east, what
Rashid [163]

Answer:

magnitude = 304.14 km/h

direction: 9.46^o West of North

Explanation:

The final plane's vector velocity will be the result of the vector addition of one pointing North of length 300 km/h, another one pointing West of length 50 km/h.

To find the magnitude of the final velocity vector (speed) we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem in a right angle triangle with sides: 300 and 50, and find its hypotenuse:

|v|=\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=\sqrt{92500}  = 304.14 km/h

The actual direction of the plane is calculated using trigonometry, in particular with the arctan function, since the tangent of the angle can be written as:

tan(\theta)=\frac{50}{300} = \frac{1}{6} \\\theta = arctan(\frac{1}{6} ) = 9.46^o

So the resultant velocity vector of the plane has magnitude = 304.14 km/h,

and it points 9.46^o West of the North direction.

A railroad tank car contains milk and rolls at a constant speed along a level track. The milk begins to leak out the bottom. The
kifflom [539]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C                        

There is no external force acting in the system hence the momentum will be conserved.                                    

As the milk is leaking out of the tank mass of the tanker is decreasing.

When the mass of the container will decrease to  conservation the momentum speed of the container will have to be increased.

So, the car carrying milk will speed up.
