The way to perform the experiment is illustrated below.

<h3>How to perform the experiment?</h3>

Place each straw tightly without deforming the roundness of the straw into the corner of the set square.

Measure the distance from the corner of the set square to where the straw touches the set square using the 30 cm ruler. This will be the radius of each straw.

Multiply this radius by 2 in order to obtain the diameter of each straw.

Sum the diameter of each of the 10 straws.

Divide this sum by 10 to obtain the average value for the diameter of a straw.

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}$

$v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})$

$v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}$

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

The plug has a diameter of 30 mm and fits within a rigid sleeve having an inner diameter of 32 mm. Both the plug and the sleeve

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

P=740 KPa

Δ=7.4 mm

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of plunger,d=30 mm

Diameter of sleeve ,D=32 mm

Length .L=50 mm

E= 5 MPa

n=0.45

As we know that

Lateral strain

$\varepsilon _t=\dfrac{D-d}{d}$

$\varepsilon _t=\dfrac{32-30}{30}$

$\varepsilon _t=0.0667$

We know that

$n=-\dfrac{\epsilon _t}{\varepsilon _{long}}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-\dfrac{\epsilon _t}{n}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-\dfrac{0.0667}{0.45}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-0.148$

So the axial pressure

$P=E\times \varepsilon _{long}$

$P=5\times 0.148$

P=740 KPa

The movement in the sleeve

$\Delta =\varepsilon _{long}\times L$

$\Delta =0.148\times 50$

Δ=7.4 mm
