Answer: Lightning is mostly light and electricity, this light that is hitting is going at a rate of 299,792.458 km per second (or 186,282 miles per second) this is so much compared to sound which only travels at about 761 mph (or approximately 332 meters per second). Fun fact: The lightening you are seeing is that coming back to the cloud because the process happens so fast.

A force of 14 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i

enyata [817]

Answer:

$W = 19.8 J$

Explanation:

14 lb force is required to stretch the spring by 4 inch distance

So we have

$F = 14 lbf$

$F = 6.35 \times 9.8 N$

$F = 62.3 N$

stretch in the spring is given as

$x = 4 in = 0.1016 m$

now we will have

$F = kx$

$62.3 = k(0.1016)$

$k = 613.125 N/m$

Now we need to find the work to stretch it by x = 10 in = 0.254 m

so we have

$W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$W = \frac{1}{2}(613.125)(0.254)^2$

$W = 19.8 J$
