A spring whose spring constant is 270 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.02585 BTU

Explanation:

Given: Spring constant, k = 270 lbf/in

Initial force, f =100 lbf

Compression, x = 1 in

Work done can be calculated as follows:

$W = \int {(f+kx)} \, dx \\W = fx + \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\W= (100 lbf)(1 in)+ \frac{1}{2}(270 lbf/in)(1 in)^2\\W= 100+135 = 235 lbf in\\W=235 \times 0.00011 BTU = 0.02585 BTU$

Explain how you think an asteroid impact could affect the tilt of Earth’s axis. Explain how this effect would change Earth’s sea

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

A stone is dropped from from rest at the top of a mine shaft. It takes 95 seconds for the stone to fall to the bottom of the min

Marianna [84]

Distance of fall from rest,
without air resistance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

   = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

   = (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

   = 44,222.5 meters .

The depth of the mine shaft is five times the height of Mt. Everest !
