Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

Stress is defined as force per unit area and strain is defined as proportional deformation in a material.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

$Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}$

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight

l = length of wire

A = area of cross section

$\Delta l$ = change in length

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.

Explain how a parachute works

Shtirlitz [24]

A parachute increases air friction, thus reducing falling speed.

Indeed, the air friction is roughly proportional to the surface of the object falling down; the parachute tremendously increases that surface.

A hiker walks 20.51 m at 33.16 degrees. What is the Y component of his displacement?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

Explanation:

Components of the displacement

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$
