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 = π $R^{2}$ .

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 * $0.1^{2}$ = 0.0314 $m^{2}$

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

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∈-5 $m^{2}$ .

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

An electron moving with a velocity = 5.0 × 10 7 m/s enters a region of space where perpendicular electric and a magnetic fields

inna [77]

Answer:

The magnetic field is $2 \times 10^{-4}$ T

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of electron $v = 5 \times 10^{7} \frac{m}{s}$

Electric field $E = 10^{4} \frac{V}{m}$

The force on electron in magnetic field is given by,

$F = qvB \sin \theta$ ......(1)

The force on electron in electric field is given by,

$F = qE$ ......(2)

Compare both equation,

$qE = qvB \sin \theta$

Here $\sin \theta = 1$

$E = vB$

$B= \frac{E}{v}$

$B = \frac{10^{4} }{5 \times 10^{7} }$

$B = 2 \times 10^{-4}$ T

Therefore, the magnetic field is $2 \times 10^{-4}$ T

Acceleration is always measured in meters per second squared. Why is acceleration not measured in meters per second like speed?

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration.

Explanation:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration. For example, at 1 m/s an object is travelling a distance of 1 metre every second. But a rate of acceleration is a steady increase in velocity. So at 1 m/s^2, an object's velocity is increasing by 1 m/s every second.
