1. The force applied is directly proportional to the stretch of a coil. If a force of 132 Newtons stretches a coil 0.07 meters, what force would be needed to stretch a coil 0.1 meter? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
- A. 92.4 Newtons
- B. 1885.7 Newtons
- C. 188.6 Newtons
- D. 136.0 Newtons
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the force needed to stretch the coil 0.1 meters, we can set up a proportion based on the given information. The initial force and stretch are in direct proportion, so we can use this relationship to determine the unknown force. (132 N / 0.07 m) = X / 0.1 m. Cross-multiplying, we get 132 N * 0.1 m / 0.07 m = 188.57 N, which rounds to 188.6 N. Therefore, the correct answer is 188.6 Newtons. Choice A is incorrect as it does not match the calculated answer. Choice B is significantly higher and does not align with the proportional relationship. Choice D is close but does not account for the correct rounding as specified in the question.
2. A farmer plans to install fencing around a certain field. If each side of the hexagonal field is 320 feet long, and fencing costs $1.75 per foot, how much will the farmer need to spend on fencing material to enclose the perimeter of the field?
- A. $2,240
- B. $2,800
- C. $3,360
- D. $4,480
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the perimeter of a hexagonal field with 6 sides, multiply the length of one side (320 feet) by the number of sides (6): 320 x 6 = 1920 feet. The total cost of the fencing material can be calculated by multiplying the perimeter by the cost per foot: 1920 feet x $1.75 = $3360. Therefore, the farmer will need to spend $3,360 on fencing material to enclose the perimeter of the field. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total cost based on the given measurements and cost per foot.
3. What is the volume of a ball with a diameter of 7 inches?
- A. 165.7 in³
- B. 179.6 in³
- C. 184.5 in³
- D. 192.3 in³
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the volume of a sphere, the formula V = (4/3)πr³ is used, where r is the radius of the sphere. Given that the diameter of the ball is 7 inches, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter, which is 3.5 inches. Plugging this value into the formula: V = (4/3)π(3.5)³ = (4/3)π(42.875) ≈ 165.7 in³. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the volume of the ball with a diameter of 7 inches.
4. A woman wants to stack two small bookcases beneath a window that is 26 inches from the floor. The larger bookcase is 14 inches tall. The other bookcase is 8 inches tall. How tall will the two bookcases be when they are stacked together?
- A. 12 inches tall
- B. 22 inches tall
- C. 35 inches tall
- D. 41 inches tall
Correct answer: B
Rationale: When the woman stacks the two bookcases together, the total height will be the sum of the heights of the two bookcases. Therefore, 14 inches (larger bookcase) + 8 inches (smaller bookcase) = 22 inches. So, the stacked bookcases will be 22 inches tall. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the total height of both bookcases. Choice C and D are incorrect as they are higher than the combined height of the two bookcases.
5. Cora skated around the rink 27 times but fell 20 times. What percentage of the time did she not fall?
- A. 0.37
- B. 0.74
- C. 0.26
- D. 0.15
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the percentage of the time Cora did not fall, subtract the number of times she fell (20) from the total number of times she skated around the rink (27). This gives us 27 - 20 = 7 times she did not fall. To express this as a percentage, calculate (7/27) * 100% = 25.93%, which is approximately 26%. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.26 (C). Choice A (0.37), Choice B (0.74), and Choice D (0.15) are incorrect as they do not represent the percentage of the time Cora did not fall based on the information provided.
