Answer:

A. Some energy is always converted to unusable forms in the

Explanation:

The second law relates to the quality of energy. This law states that whenever energy is transformed, some of must be degraded into a less useful form. In ecosystems, the biggest losses occur as respiration.

Calculate the percentage increase in length of a wire of diameter 2.2 mm stretched by a load of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.21%

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 100 kg

Diameter; d = 2.2 mm = 2.2 × 10^(-3) m

Young's modulus; E = 12.5 x 10^(10) N/m².

Formula for area is;

A = πd²/4

A = (π/4) x (2.2 x 10^(-3))²

A = 3.8 x 10^(-6) m²

Force; F = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity and has a constant value of 9.8 m/s²

F = 100 × 9.8

F = 980 N

Formula for young's modulus is;

E = Stress/strain

Formula for stress = F/A

Formula for strain = ΔL/L

Thus;

E = (F/A)/(ΔL/L)

Making ΔL/L the subject, we have;

ΔL/L = (F/A)/E

Plugging in the relevant values;

ΔL/L = 980/(3.8 x 10^(-6) × 12.5 × 10^(10))

ΔL/L = 0.0021

Then percentage increase in length of a wire = 0.0021 × 100% = 0.21%

A swimmer wants to swim straight across a river with current flowing at a speed of v1 = 0.32 km/h. If the swimmer swims in still
yawa3891 [41]

For the swimmer to go straight the sin component of his velocity should  cancel the river velocity.

So, we have v_{1} = v_2sinθ

This angle θ is the angle  shall the swimmer point upstream from the shore.

0.32 = 0.85 sin[/tex]θ

θ = 22.12^0

The velocity of swimmer across the river is given by cos componet of his velocity

 v = 0.85 cosθ = 0.85 cos 22 = 0.79 m/s
