The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1600 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass

40.0 kg resting on the output plunger. The piston and plunger are nearly at the same height, and each has a negligible mass. By how much is the spring compressed from its unstrained position?

Answer:

\Delta x=245\ mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston, k=1600\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass subjected to the output plunger, m=40\ kg

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>

F=m.g

F=40\times 9.8

F=392\ N

<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}

\Delta x=\frac{392}{1600}

\Delta x=0.245\ m

or

\Delta x=245\ mm

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

4μC will attract -9μC towards the centre and -5μC will repel it away from the centre.  Both these forces are opposite to each other.

Force due to 4μC on -9μC towards the centre

= k x Q₁ Q₂/R² = 9 X 10⁹ X 4 X 10⁻⁶ X 9 X 10⁻⁶ / (1.2)² = 225 X 10⁻³ N/C

Force due to -5μC on -9μC  away from the centre

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁶x 9 x 10⁻⁶/( 0.8)² = 632.8 x 10⁻³ .N/C

Ner field =407.8 N/C.

When a car is 100 meters from its starting position traveling at 60.0 m/s., it starts braking and comes to a stop 350 meters fro
NISA [10]
Remember your kinematic equations for constant acceleration. One of the equations is x_{f} =  x_{i} +  v_{i}(t) + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}, where x_{f} = final position, x_{i} = initial position, v_{i} = initial velocity, t = time, and a = acceleration. 

Your initial position is where you initially were before you braked. That means x_{i} = 100m. You final position is where you ended up after t seconds passed, so x_{f} = 350m. The time it took you to go from 100m to 350m was t = 8.3s. You initial velocity at the initial position before you braked was v_{i} = 60.0 m/s. Knowing these values, plug them into the equation and solve for a, your acceleration:
350\:m = 100\:m + (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\&#10;250\:m = (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\&#10;250\:m = 498\:m +34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\&#10;-248\:m = 34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\&#10;a \approx -7.2 \: m/s^{2}

Your acceleration is approximately -7.2 \: m/s^{2}.

The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.30 inches and a standard deviatio
enot [183]

Answer:

2.25 %

Explanation:

65-95-99.7 is a rule to remember the precentages that lies around the mean.

at the range of mean (\mu) plus or minus one standard deviation (\sigma), P([\mu-\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+\sigma])\approx 68.3%

at the range of mean plus or minus two standard deviation, P([\mu -2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+2\sigma])\approx 95.5%

at the range of mean plus or minus three standard deviation, P([\mu - 3\sigma\leq X \leq \mu+3\sigma])\approx 99.7%

So, note that  they are asking about the probability that it is greater than 0.32, that is the mean (0.3) plus two times the standard deviation (0.1) (P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma))  

So we know that the 95.5% is between \mu - 2\sigma = 0.3 -2*0.1 = 0.28 and \mu + 2\sigma = 0.3 +2*0.1 = 0.32, hence approximately the 4.5% (100%-95.5%) is greater than 0.32 or less than  0.28. But half (4.5%/2=2.25%) is greater than 0.32 and the other half is less than 0.28.

So P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma) \approx 2.25%

Lauren wants to know which location in her apartment is best for growing African violets. She has three African violets. She put
Harrizon [31]
First, before determining which variable is which, we go over the definition of each.
The independent variable is the one which is intentionally changed in order to investigate its effect on the dependent variable.
The dependent variable is monitored and changes occur in it due to the changing conditions of the independent variable.

In this case, the location of the African violets is the independent variable as it is intentionally changed, while the rate of growth of the African violets is the dependent variable as it is being measured.

a pitcher threw a baseball straight up at 35.8 meters per second. what is the ball's velocity after 2.50 seconds?
Andrei [34K]
Ok the velocity of an object in free fall is given by the equation :

v=v0-gt, where v0 is the original velocity, g is the gravitational constant (9.8 m/s^2) and t is the time. 

so, we substitute values into this equation. v=35.8-9.8*2.5; v=11.3 m/s
