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

(i). A ball of mass 1.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The ball moves in a horizontal circle. If the cord ca

(a) Let v be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude

a_{\rm rad} = \dfrac{v^2}R

where R is the radius of the circle.

The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is

F = (1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) a_{\rm rad}

so that

(1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) \dfrac{v^2}{1.50\,\rm m} = 64.0\,\mathrm N

Solve for v :

v^2 = \dfrac{(64.0\,\mathrm N)(1.50\,\mathrm m)}{1.500\,\rm kg} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = 8.00 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation

F = \dfrac{mv^2}R \implies v = \sqrt{\dfrac{FR}m}

so that v is directly proportional to the square root of R. As the radius R increases, the maximum linear speed v will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by 2.8^{o}C every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is 1.60\times 10^{5}kg will require

0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s

What advantages does an electromagnet have over a permanent magnet?
KonstantinChe [14]
Electromagnets can be turned off, this makes it easier to release things from the magnetic field. 

Hope this helps :)

The speed increases, because as the angle increases (the wing slants up more steeply), the air has to go farther to get over the wing.
