This is false because 20-8 is 12 and 12 times 5 isnt 17

Using the order of operations I found out that the answer is 60 which isn't 17 so the answer is false.

Reduce fraction: a^3+a^2b/5a times 25/3b+3a

Margaret [11]

ANSWER

$\frac{5a}{3}$

EXPLANATION

The given fractions are:

$\frac{{a}^{3} + {a}^{2} b}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3b + 3a}$

We factor to obtain:

$\frac{{a}^{2}(a + b)}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3(a + b)}$

We cancel the common factors to get:

$\frac{{a}(1)}{1} \times \frac{5}{3(1)}$

We multiply the numerators and also multiply the denominators to get:

$\frac{5a}{3}$

Therefore the two fractions simplifies to $\frac{5a}{3}$

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.
