The distance a spring will stretch varies directly with how much weight is attached to the spring. If a spring stretches 9 inches with 100 pounds attached, how far will it stretch with 90 pounds attached? Round to the nearest tenth of an inch.A. 8.1 in.
B. 8.9 in.
C. 10 in.
D. 9.1 in.

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

x2 = 8.1 in  (Option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The extension of spring x1 = 9 in

- The weight hanged F1 = 100 lbs

Find:-

How far will it stretch with 90 pounds attached?

Solution:-

- The linear extension x of spring is proportional to the amount of force F applied to the spring.

                                         F = k*x

Where, k = is the proportionality constant called stiffness of the spring.

- We will first determine the spring stiffness k using the given data as follows:

                                        F1 = k*x1

                                       100 = k*9

                                       k = 100 / 9

- Now, we will determine the amount with which the spring stretches x2 when the hanged weight is changed to F2 = 90 lbs. Using the first relation we plug in the value of proportionality constant (stiffness) k.

                                      F = (100 / 9)*x

                                      F2 = (100 / 9)*x2

                                      90 = (100 / 9)*x2

                                      x2 = 810 / 100

                                      x2 = 8.1 in

- The amount of spring stretches when the applied load of weight hanged is changed to F2 = 90 lbs is x2 = 8.1 in.

How many diagnals can you draw from a single vertex of a 35-gon?

Answers


Well let's see.  Your -gon has 35 vertexies.  You use one of them
to start all the diagnals from.  That leaves (35 - 1) = 34 others
that could be the other end of a diagnal. 

So there must be 34 possible diagnals.

Reggie and Courtney are picking up trash along the highway. Together they have collected 15 bags of trash.Courtney has collected 3 more bags then Reggie. How many bags have they each collected?

Answers

Bags collected by reggie and Courtney are 6, 9 respectively.

SOLUTION:

Given, Reggie and Courtney are picking up trash along the highway.  

Together they have collected 15 bags of trash.

Courtney has collected 3 more bags then Reggie.  

We have to find how many bags have they each collected?

Let the number bags collected by reggie be n, then number of bags collected by Courtney will be 15 – n.

Now, according to the given information,

Number of bags with Courtney = 3 + number of bags with reggie

15 – n = 3 + n

n + n = 15 – 3

2n = 12

n = 6

so, reggie collected 6 bags, then, Courtney collected 15 – 6 = 9 bags.

Hence, bags collected by reggie and Courtney are 6, 9 respectively
