Answer:

18 J is the work required to stretch a spring from 7 m to 13 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done is defined to be the product of the force F and the distance d  that the object moves:

W=Fd

If F is measured in newtons and d<em> </em>in meters, then the unit for is a newton-meter, which is called a joule (J).

This definition work as long as the force is constant, but if the force is variable like in this case, we have that the work done is given by

W=\int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

Hooke’s Law states that the force required to maintain a spring stretched x    units beyond its natural length is proportional to

f(x)=kx

where k is a positive constant (called the spring constant).

To find how much work W is required to stretch it from 7 m to 13 m you must:

Step 1: Find the spring constant

We know that the spring has a natural length of 7 m and a 4 N force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 11 m. So, applying Hooke’s Law

4=k(11-7)\\\\\frac{k\left(11-7\right)}{4}=\frac{4}{4}\\\\k=1

Thus F=x

Step 2: Find the the work done in stretching the spring from 7 m to 13 m.

Recall that the natural length is 7 m, so when we stretch the spring from 7 m to 13 m, we are stretching it by 6 m beyond its natural length.

Work needed to stretch it by 6 m beyond its natural length

W=\int\limits^6_0 {x} \, dx \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \int x^adx=\frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1},\:\quad \:a\ne -1\\\\\left[\frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1}\right]^6_0\\\\\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]^6_0=18

18 J is the work required to stretch a spring from 7 m to 13 m.

Answer:

Ecological correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a different source, the options that come with this question are:

  • Ecological correlation
  • Extrapolation
  • Lurking variable
  • Influential observation

Sarah should be careful about the use of an ecological correlation. An ecological correlation describes two variables that are group means, as opposed to a correlation between two variables that describe individuals. In this case, Sarah did pick 75 random students in each state. However, she then obtained the height and weight means for each state, and proceeded to compare these. Therefore, Sarah is not comparing individual values, but means. It is important to notice this, because correlations at a group level can be much higher than those at the individual level.

The answer is A: 4. This is easy once you know the order of operations, aka PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction.

How can you tell Is something is a unit rate
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Unit rate is a ratio between two different units with a denominator of one. When we divide a fraction's numerator by its denominator, the result is a value in decimal form. For example: 8/4 = 2 and 3/6 = 0.5. When we write numbers in decimal form, we can write them as a ratio with one as the denominator.

For example, we can write 2 as 2/1, and 0.5 as 0.5/1. However, since that approach can be a little clumsy, we usually drop the one. That said, it's important to remember the one is there, especially when working with unit rates.

For instance, 8 miles/4 hours = 2 miles/hour. Notice again that, while we did not include the 1, we did include the unit 'hour' Miles per hour is a familiar expression, as are unit rates such as:

interest/amount invested

revolutions/minute

salary/year

Conversationally, the word ''per'' indicates we are using a unit rate.

I beg someone to answer ive posted this 3 times and im still not sure how to do it.....
Anni [7]

Answer:

D) 3 X 10⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Estimated days:</u>

  • Jan 2000 to June 2001 = 1.5 years = 365*1.5 days ≈ 548 days

  • 1 day = 24 hours = 24*60 minutes = 24*60*60 seconds =
  • 86400 seconds

  • 548 days = 548 * 86400 seconds =
  • 47347200 ≈ 4.7*10⁷

Best estimate is D) 3 X 10⁷

<h3>Answer:  5/12  (choice C)</h3>

Explanation:

Recall that tangent = opposite/adjacent.

For reference angle M, the side ON = 5 is the opposite side and MN = 12 is the adjacent side. We don't need the hypotenuse.
