A 12 N package of flour is suddenly placed on the pan of a grocer's scale. The pan is supported from below by a vertical spring

with a force constant of 325 N/m. If the pan has negligible weight and no energy is dissipated by friction, find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed.

Answer:

  24/325 m ≈ 7.38 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium position of the package is the distance at which the package weight is balanced by the spring force. That distance is ...

  (12 N)/(325 N/m) = 12/325 m

Since the package is placed suddenly on the pan and there are no losses in the system, the position of the package will oscillate about this distance with an amplitude equal to this distance. That is, the maximum compression will be to a distance that is twice this amount, or ...

  24/325 m

__

This is the depth at which all of the potential energy of the package due to its height is transformed into the potential energy of the spring due to its compression.

Which of the following sets of angles sum to 180°?<br> picture included, please help.
eduard

Answer:

Choice 3

Step-by-step explanation:

add 63 and 64 which gives you 127. Then you subtract 180 and 127. This gives you 53. 63+53+64=180. Know that the angle is 180 degrees too so you don't even have to do math.

exis [7]

Answer:

39+0.15m \leqslant 50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Diana wants her total bill to be less than $50.

Diana pays a fixed monthly bill of

$39 for her mobile phone and an additional

$0.15 per minute for phone internet service.

The bill Diana pays for m minutes of using the internet is $0.15m in a month.

The total monthly bill becomes,

39+0.15m

The maximum bill she wants to pay is $50.

\implies39+0.15m \leqslant 50

This inequality can be solved to determine the number of available minutes.

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

y=1.7x + 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

16x + 15y =20

therefore we make the variable stand on its own

15y = 20 - 16x

Divide both sides by the variable which is 15.

it will be y= 1.3 - 1 7x

so therefore the answer is :

y= 1.7x + 1.3

9mph in still water it takes 5hrs longer to travel 74 miles upstream than downstream find the rate of current and round to neare
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The rate of current is 2.5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.

If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.

Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as  

\frac{74}{9 - v} - \frac{74}{9 + v} = 5

⇒ \frac{2v}{81 - v^{2} } = \frac{5}{74}

⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²

⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0

Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write  

v = \frac{-148 + \sqrt{148^{2} - 4(5)(-405) }  }{2(5)} (Neglecting the negative root)

⇒ v = \frac{- 148 + 173.2166}{10} = 2.5 mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)
