Answer:

It will stretch by 2ΔL

Explanation:

The young modulus for the metals in both cases is the same as it is a property of the metal.

Y1 = Y2

Tensile force and area in both cases are the same.

Let the unknown increase in length be x.

F/A × L/ΔL = F/A × 2L/x

By canceling out like terms and rearranging, x = 2ΔL.

Answer:

The metal wire will stretch by 2 \delta L

Explanation:

T = \frac{kA \delta L}{L}......................................(1)

Where T = Tension applied

ΔL = Extension

L = length

k = constant

T₁ = T₂ = T

A₁ = A₂ =A

L₁ = L

L₂ = 2L

(ΔL)₁ = ΔL

(ΔL)₂ = ?

From equation (1)

TL/kA = \delta L.....................(2)

TL/kA = (\delta L) ........................(3)\\ 2TL/kA = (\delta L)_{2} ........................(4)

Divide (4) by (3)

\frac{(\delta L)_{2} }{\delta L} =\frac{\frac{2TL}{kA} }{\frac{TL}{kA} } \\\frac{(\delta L)_{2} }{\delta L} = 2\\ (\delta L)_{2} = 2\delta L

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

right A, B, C, D

Explanation:

They ask which statements are true

A) Right. The decrease in amplitude is due to the dissipation of energy by friction and is called damping

B) Right. In resonant processes the amplitude of the oscillation increases, being a forced oscillation

C) Right. In a system with energy loss, the amplitude must decrease, therefore energy must be supplied to compensate for the loss.

D) Right. It is a resonant process the driving force keeps the oscillation of the system

Find the average speed in km/h of a journey of 48 km in 36 minutes
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Divide the total distance traveled by the total time spent traveling. This will give you your average speed. . So if Ben traveled 50 mph for 3 hours, 60 mph for 2 hours, and 70 mph for 1 hour, his average speed was about 57 mph.

Studentka2010 [4]
The correct answer for this question would be A) Increases because the potential energy of the boulder was it resting on the top of the cliff, and the kinetic energy was the boulder accelerating to the ground so it was increasing and in motion.
