Answer:

  • 1220 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cans be x

<u>5% of x is 61, solve the equation below for x:</u>

  • x*0.05 = 61
  • x = 61/0.05
  • x = 1220 cans

How much work is done in lifting a 1.4-kg book off the floor to put it on a desk that is 0.7 m high?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force applied to an object cause the body to move in a specified direction.

Work-done = Force * Distance

Since Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Work-done =  mass * acceleration due to gravity * distance

Given mass = 1.4kg, distance = 0.7m and g = 9.8m/s²

Workdone in lifting the book off the floor = 1.4*0.7*9.8

Workdone = 9.604Joules

- Similarly, work done in lifting a 21-lb weight book 6 ft off the ground is expressed using the same formula as above;

Given mass = 21-lb, g = 32ft/s² and distance = 6ft

Workdone = 21 * 32 * 6

Workdone = 4,032 lb-ft²/s²

Hence, work-done in lifting a 21-lb weight book 6 ft off the ground is  4,032 lb-ft²/s²

What is the value of f(-4) in the piecewise function f(x)= -x-5 for -5&lt;= x &lt;= -2; -x^2+1 for -2&lt;=x&lt;=2; (x-3)^2+2 for
Alik [6]


We first need to pick the correct piece to use. In this case, we will use f(x) = -x-5 because -5<=-4.

Then, we use direct substitution:
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5
f(-4) = -1
