Answer:

stress = 16.9 MPa

Explanation:

The stress in the cable can be calculated as:

\text{Stress = }\frac{F}{A}

Where F is the force and A is the area. So, the area can be calculated as:

A=\pi^{}\cdot r^2

Where r is the radius. Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is 4.0 mm and the area will be equal to:

\begin{gathered} A=3.14(4\operatorname{mm})^2 \\ A=50.24\operatorname{mm}^2 \end{gathered}

Then, replacing the force F by 850 N, and A by 50.24 mm², we get that the stress is equal to:

\text{stress = }\frac{850N}{50.24mm^2}=16.9\text{MPa}

Therefore, the answer is 16.9 MPa

A 3250 N car is pushed a distance of 35 m the power was 11375 J, how long did it take?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

10.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on the car  = 3250N

Distance  = 35m

Power  = 11375W

Unknown:

Time taken = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

 Power is the rate at which work is done

         Power = \frac{work done }{time}  

  Work done  = force x distance  = 3250 x 35  = 123200J

Now;

          11375  = \frac{123200}{t}  

           11375t  = 123200  

                   t  = 10.8s

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 53.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di
Shalnov [3]

A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour          

                                         = Total distance traveled/ total time taken                  

                                         = \frac{2d}{\frac{d}{53}+\frac{d}{x}} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{53}+\frac{1}{x} }  = \frac{106x}{x+53}

                              26.5 = \frac{106x}{x+53} \\ \\ 79.5 x = 1404.5\\ \\ x = 17.67 miles/hour

Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)

A metal rod of length (L) moves with velocity (v), perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, which is perpendicular to
Alborosie

Explanation:

If a metal rod of length L moves with velocity v is moving perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=Blv

The electric field in the conductor is given by :

E=\dfrac{\epsilon}{l}\\\\E=\dfrac{Blv}{l}\\\\E=Bv

It is clear that the electric field is independent of the length of the rod. If the length of the rod is doubled, the electric field in the rod remains the same.
