Answer:

a) 0.6 joules of work are needed to stretch the spring from 41 centimeters to 46 centimeters.

b) The spring must be 5.6 centimeters far from its natural length.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The work done to stretch the ideal spring from its natural length is defined by the following definition:

W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot (x_{f}-x_{o})^{2} (1)

Where:

k - Spring constant, measured in newtons.

x_{o}, x_{f} - Initial and final lengths of the spring, measured in meters.

W - Work, measured in joules.

The spring constant is: (W = 5\,J, x_{o} = 0.36\,m, x_{f} = 0.51\,m)

k = \frac{2\cdot W}{(x_{f}-x_{o})^{2}}

k = \frac{2\cdot (5\,J)}{(0.51\,m-0.36\,m)^{2}}

k = 444.44\,\frac{N}{m}

If we know that k = 444.44\,\frac{N}{m}, x_{o} = 0.41\,m and x_{f} = 0.46\,m, then the work needed is:

W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(444.44\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.46\,m-0.41\,m)^{2}

W = 0.555\,J

0.6 joules of work are needed to stretch the spring from 41 centimeters to 46 centimeters.

b) The elastic force of the ideal spring (F), measured in newtons, is defined by the following formula:

F = k\cdot \Delta x (2)

Where \Delta x is the linear difference from natural length, measured in meters.

If we know that k = 444.44\,\frac{N}{m} and F = 25\,N, then the linear difference is:

\Delta x = \frac{F}{k}

\Delta x = \frac{25\,N}{444.44\,\frac{N}{m} }

\Delta x = 0.056\,m

The spring must be 5.6 centimeters far from its natural length.

Got you. So we will use the basic formula for the area of a rectangle and insert variable values. (^_^)

Area= Width(Height)   ----------- Insert values of width and height [width = (x-1)
, height = (x+9)]

Area= (x-1)(x+9) )   -------------- Then expand if needed?
       = x² +8x -9

A survey of a group of seventh graders and a group of teachers at a local middle school asked how many siblings they each have.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached to this answer is the diagram of the box plot described in the question, and the means from the plot are calculated thus;

Students;    no. of siblings

student 0     2

student 1      4

student 2     7

student 3     5

student 4     2

Total             20

Mean no. of siblings = (total number of siblings) ÷ (total number of students)

Note that number of students here are the once that had at least one sibling, others without siblings are not used in the calculation, hence 5 students (student-0 to student-4) make up total number of students, while the remaining 4 students (student-4 to student-9) are disregarded.

Therefore, mean = 20 ÷ 5 = 4 siblings.
