L = 1.00 m, the original length
A = 0.5 mm² = 0.5 x 10⁻⁶ m², the cross sectional area
E = 2.0 x 10¹¹ n/m², Young's modulus
P = 1500 N, the applied tension

Calculate the stress.
σ = P/A = (1500 N)/(0.5 x 10⁻⁶ m²) = 3 x 10⁹ N/m²

Let δ =  the stretch of the string.
Then the strain is
ε = δ/L

By definition, the strain is
ε = σ/E = (3 x 10⁹ N/m²)/(2 x 10¹¹ N/m²) = 0.015
Therefore
δ/(1 m) = 0.015
δ = 0.015 m = 15 mm

Answer:  15 mm

)If a force of 5.00 N is needed to open a 90.0 cm wide door when applied at the edge opposite the hinges, what force must be app
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

Explanation:

In this case, a force is exerted on the door, a moment is performed and the door is opened. If moment remains constant, the force is inversely proportional to distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges. That is:

F \propto \frac{1}{r}

F = \frac{k}{r} (Eq. 1)

Where:

F - Force, measured in newtons.

k - Proportionality ratio, measured in newton-meters.

r - Distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges, measured in meters.

From (Eq. 1) we get the following relationship and clear the final force within:

F_{A}\cdot r_{A} = F_{B}\cdot r_{B}

F_{B}=\left(\frac{r_{A}}{r_{B}} \right)\cdot F_{A}(Eq. 2)

Where:

F_{A}, F_{B} - Initial and final forces, measured in newtons.

r_{A}, r_{B} - Initial and final distances, measured in meters.

If we know that F_{A} = 5\,N, r_{A} = 0.9\,m and r_{B} = 0.35\,m, then final force is:

F_{B}= \left(\frac{0.9\,m}{0.35\,m} \right)\cdot (5\,N)

F_{B} = 12.857\,N

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

A toy doll and a toy robot are standing on a frictionless surface facing each other. The doll has a mass of 0.2 kg, and the robo
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

<h3>1.43m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

According to newtons second law.

F = mass * acceleration

If the doll has a mass of 0.2 kg, and the robot has a mass of 0.5 kg, the resulting mass will be 0.7kg

Force applied = 1N

acceleration = Force/mass

Substitute the values and get acceleration

acceleration = 1/0.7

acceleration = 1.43m/s²

Hence the magnitude of the acceleration of the robot is 1.43m/s²
