A sample of tendon 3.00 cm long and 4.00 mm in diameter is found to break under a minimum force of 128 N. If instead the sample

had been 1.50 cm long and of uniform composition and cross-sectional area, what minimum force would have been required to break it?
A) 128 N
B) 32 N
C) 256 N
D) 64 N
E) 512 N

It must be the same force, because when it is applied, it is 'distributed' equally in each of the points (either a tendon or a wire or a rope or something similar). The 128N resistance should be preserved for tendons that have the same diameter.

Therefore the correct answer is A.

Tom says that insulation keeps out the cold. Explain why this statement is incorrect. What should Tom have said?
Zina [86]
There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness".  "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

the magnitude of the magnetic field at point p for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.21. What is the magnitude of the elctic f
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,

\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc

Put all the values,

E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to 6.63\times 10^8\ N/C.

An ideally efficient heat pump delivers 1000 J of heat to room air at 300 K. If it extracted heat from 260 K outdoor air, how mu
choli [55]

Answer:

Wnet, in, = 133.33J

Explanation:

Given that

Pump heat QH = 1000J

Warm temperature TH= 300K

Cold temperature TL= 260K

Since the heat pump is completely reversible, the combination of coefficient of performance expression is given as,

From first law of thermodynamics,

COP(HP, rev) = 1/(1-TL/TH)

COP(HP, rev) = 1/(1-260/300)

COP(HP, rev) = 1/(1-0.867)

COP(HP, rev) = 1/0.133

COP(HP, rev) = 7.5

The power required to drive the the heat pump is given as

Wnet, in= QH/COP(HP, rev)

Wnet, in = 1000/7.5

Wnet, in = 133.333J. QED

So the 133.33J was the amount heat that was originally work consumed in the transfer.

Extra....

According to the first law, the rate at which heat is removed from the low temperature reservoir is given as

QL=QH-Wnet, in

QL=1000-133.333

QL=866.67J

A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }

.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )
