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.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

40% of the class is Girls, so 12 students are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

add up the ratio

2+3=5

divide by 5

30/5=6

multipy ratio to find totial number of students

2*6=12

2*3=18

divide the number of students to get the pecentage

12/30=0.4=40%

18/30=0.6=60%

A circular room at an office has a diameter of 96 feet. What is the area of the floor in the room? Use 3.14 to approximate pi. R
tia_tia [17]
The area of the floor in the room would be 7,234.56 feet. This is found by multiplying 3.14 by the radius (48) squared, or (3.14)(48)^2=7,234.56.

I need major help pls help
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

No, since 832 ≠ 900, using Pythagorean theorem, the width should be 18 in

Step-by-step explanation:

It is better to type the question in the 'Question' than the fact that you need help so that we can start seeing the problem immediately.

A rectangle has 4 right angles so if l = 24 and w = 16 then you can use the pythagorean theorem to see if this is possible since

24^2 + 16^2 = 30^2 since the diagonal is the hypotenuse of the triangles formed by the diagonal in the rectangle.  

576 + 256 ≠ 900, since the left side is 832 and the right side is 900

It would be more correct if the width is 18 since 576 + 18^2 = 900
