You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then drop a book of mass 1.50 kg onto it from a height of 0.900 m

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The value of the maximum distance the spring will be compressed

x = 0.143 m= 14.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Mass m = 1.5 kg

h = 0.9 m

k = 1500 $\frac{N}{m}$

Since the book is released from a height h = 0.9 m above the top of the spring. so the total distance

y = h + x

Now in that case for the spring

$mg y= \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$mg(h +x) = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

By rearranging the above equation we get

$k x^{2} - 2mgx - 2mg h = 0$

Put all the values in above equation we get

$1500x^{2} - 29.43 x - 26.48 = 0$

By solving the above equation we get

x = 0.143 m= 14.3 cm

This is the value of the maximum distance the spring will be compressed.

31. For the following exercises, given each set of information, find a linear equation satisfying the conditions, if possible.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The required linear equation satisfying the given conditions f(-1)=4 and f(5)=1 is $y=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that f(-1)=4 and f(5)=1.

It is required to find out a linear equation satisfying the conditions f(-1)=4

and f(5)=1. linear equation of the line in the form

$\left(y-y_{2}\right)=m\left(x-x_{2}\right)$

Step 1 of 4

Observe, f(-1)=4 gives the point (-1,4)

And f(5)=1 gives the point (5,1).

This means that the function f(x) satisfies the points (-1,4) and (5,1).

Step 2 of 4

Now find out the slope of a line passing through the points (-1,4) and (5,1),

$\begin{aligned}&m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\&m=\frac{1-4}{5-(-1)} \\&m=\frac{-3}{5+1} \\&m=\frac{-3}{6} \\&m=\frac{-1}{2}\end{aligned}$

Step 3 of 4

Now use the slope $m=\frac{-1}{2}$ and use one of the two given points and write the equation in point-slope form:

$(y-1)=\frac{-1}{2}(x-5)$

Distribute $\frac{-1}{2}$ ,

$y-1=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{5}{2}$

Step 4 of 4

This linear function can be written in the slope-intercept form by adding 1 on both sides,

$\begin{aligned}&y-1+1=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{5}{2}+1 \\&y=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{5}{2}+\frac{2}{2} \\&y=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{7}{2}\end{aligned}$

So, this is the required linear equation.

Find the discriminant of the equation and give the number and type of solutions of the equation 4x^2+2x-5=0

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The answer is 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

4x*2 + 2x -5 = 0

Here a= 4, b= 2, c= -5

Since Discriminant= b*2 -4ac

Putting values

Discriminant= (2)*2 - 4(4)(-5)

= 4 + 80

= 84

Since our Discriminant(84) is >0 and is not a perfect square so the roots of the given equation are unequal and irrational(real).
