If the tensile strength of the Kevlar 49 fibers is 0.550 x 106 psi and that of epoxy resin is 11.0 x103 psi, calculate the stren

gth of the composite material that contains 79 percent by volume of Kevlar 49 fibers. The answer should be in psi with 0 decimals of accuracy.

Answer:

\sigma_{tot} =436810 psi

Explanation:

Notation

\sigma_{fib} =0.55x10^6 psi represent the tensile strength for the Kevlar 49 fibers

\sigma_{epox} =11x10^3 psi represent the tensile strength for the epoxy resin

79% by volume is made of Kevlar 49 fibers

The rest 100-79=21% is made of epoxy resin

Tensile strength is a "measurement of the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks". Can be defined as "the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure".

For this case we need to use a basis of calculus since we don't know the total volume but we can assume a reference value on order to make the calculations.

If we assume a total volume of V_{tot}=1 in^3 we can do the follwoing balance:

\sigma_{tot}V_{tot}=\sigma_{fib}V_{fib} +\sigma_{epox}V_{epox}

We can replace the values given:

\sigma_{tot}=(0.55x10^6 psi)(0.79) +(11x10^3 psi)(1-0.79)

\sigma_{tot} =436810 psi

So then the strength of the composite material is : \sigma_{tot} =436810 psi

Explains this: a light source can emit more than one type of light
Radda [10]

Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum comprise a lot of waves length. Usually, different waves length are called as different lights, and a light source can emit in more than a different wave length, as the sun does, for example. The sun emit the visible light, UV light, infrared, etc.

Which of the following correctly describes the importance of demonstrations to scientific investigation?
sergey [27]

Answer:

A- A demonstration shows how something works, often including models

Explanation:

A demonstration allows, through experimentation, to show how nature works and in that way can include the explanation of scientific theories that explain the set of observed facts, that is, it serves as a demonstration of the underlying scientific principles.

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.

The world speed record on water was set on October
Luda [366]

Answer: Remember speed is distance divided by time, so if he travels 1000 m in 7.045 s, his speed is

(1000 m)/(7.045 s) = 141.9 m/s.

Note there are 1609 metres in a mile, or 1 mi = 1609 m, so m = 1/1609 mi, or

141.9/1609 mi/s = 0.08822 mi/s. Now, note that 1 h = 3600 s, so the speed is

0.08822*3600 mi/h = 317.6 mi/h.
