In the presence of air resistance, a watermelon is launched into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy.

Its kinetic energy is less than 100 J when it reaches its starting point. Its kinetic energy decreases as it encounters air resistance and returns to its starting point. In actuality, some of the energy has been lost because of air resistance. Since we use the ball's original height as a point of reference, there is no potential energy when the ball is in its initial state of motion, and K is its kinetic energy. This total energy is conserved if there is no air resistance, therefore when the ball returns to its starting position, its kinetic energy will remain at 100.

Two copper rods are separated by a small gap at B. Rod AB has a diameter of 200mm and rod BC has a diameter of 150mm. Find the f
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A)3.8196 * 10^{9} Newtons        B) 2.153 * 10^{9} Newtons

Explanation:

Force = Pressure * Area.

Pressure is given as  120GPa

Area = Cross Sectional Area of Rod = Area Of A circle = πR^{2}.

Area Expansivity β =    \frac{Change in Area}{Original Area * Temperature Rise}

Area Expansivity β = 2α

α =  16.9x10-6/ ° C.

Radius of Rod AB = Half 0f Diameter, 200mm = \frac{0.2m}{2} = 0.1 m

Radius of Rod BC = Half Of Diameter, 150mm = \frac{0.15}{2} = 0.075 m.

Note: To convert from millimeter to meter you divide by 1000.

Area of Rod AB = π * 0.1^{2} =  0.0314m^{2}

Area of Rod BC = π * 0.075^{2} = 0.0177m^{2}.

Change in Area = 2α * Original Area * Temperature Rise. Therefore for

Rod AB = 2 * 16.9*10^{-6} * 0.0314 * 30 = 3.183 * 10^{-5}m^{2}.

For Rod BC we have = 2 * 16.9*10^{-6} * 0.0177 * 30 = 1.794∈-5m^{2}.

The forces on each rods will be given by.

Force AB = Pressure * Area  of Rod AB

                 = 120GPa * 3.183 * 10^{-5} gives 3.8196 * 10^{9} Newtons.

Force BC = Pressure * Area of Rod BC

                = 120GPa * 1.794 * 10^{-5} gives 2.153 * 10^{9} Newtons
