Lunar soil is the fine fraction of the regolith found on the surface of the moon. Its properties can differ significantly from those of terrestrial soil.

Please help me, it's a simple equation

castortr0y [4]

Because the elevator moves at a constant speed, it's in equilibrium and the net force acting on it is zero. Then the tension in the cable exactly equals the magnitude of the elevator's weight, which is

(3000 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 29,400 N

3. A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The extension of the second wire is $e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the wire is $L = 3 \ m$

The elongation of the wire is $e = 1.2mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 m$

The tension is $F = 200 \ N$

The length of the second wire is $L_2 = 6 \ m$

Generally the Young's modulus(Y) of this material is

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain }$

Where $stress = \frac{F}{A}$

Where A is the area which is evaluated as

$A = \pi r^2$

and $strain = \frac{extention}{length} = \frac{e}{L}$

$Y = \frac{\frac{F}{\pi r^2 } }{ \frac{e}{L} }$

Since the wire are of the same material Young's modulus(Y) is constant

So we have

$\frac{F * L }{r^2 e} = \pi * Y = constant$

$F * L = constant * r^2 e$

Now the ration between the first and the second wire is

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} * \frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{r*2_1}{r^2} * \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

Since tension , radius are constant

We have

$\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

substituting values

$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{0.0012}{e_2}$

$0.5 e_2 = 0.0012$

$e_2 = \frac{ 0.0012 }{0.5}$

$e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

Describe how substance move from one state to another

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The temperature rises until the water reaches the next change of state — boiling. As the particles move faster and faster, they begin to break the attractive forces between each otherand move freely as steam — a gas. The process by which a substance moves from the liquid state to the gaseousstate is called boiling.
