<span>The bone is made up of calcium. Calcium along with collagen helps to make the bones very strong, like concrete. Bones have a very high tensile strength, that is why we can put the pressure of our body weight on them without the bones being broken immediately. The structure of the bone also helps since the shaft is made up of compact bone which is very good at resisting tension. To help with the compressional strength of the bones, the extremities are made of cancellous material which is very good at fighting compression. All in all, the material and engineering of the bone allow it to be rigid, yet flexible, making them hard to break and good at their function of support and protection.</span>

A wire 6.60 m long with diameter of 2.05 mm has a resistance of 0.0310 Ω.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1.551×10^-8 Ωm

Explanation:

Resistivity of a material is expressed as shown;.

Resistivity = RA/l

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

l is the length of the wire.

Given;

R = 0.0310 Ω

A = πd²/4

A = π(2.05×10^-3)²/4

A = 0.000013204255/4

A = 0.00000330106375

A = 3.30×10^-6m

l = 6.60m

Substituting this values into the formula for calculating resistivity.

rho = 0.0310× 3.30×10^-6/6.60

rho = 1.023×10^-7/6.60

rho = 1.551×10^-8 Ωm

Hence the resistivity of the material is 1.551×10^-8 Ωm

A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

The x component of vector is -27.3 m and the y component is +43.6 m. (a) What is the magnitude of ? (b) What is the angle betwee
lara [203]

Answer:51.44 units

Explanation:

Given

x component of vector is -27.3\hat{i}

y component of vector is 43.6\hat{j}

so position vector is

r=-27.3\hat{i}+43.6\hat{j}

Magnitude of vector is

|r|=\sqrt{27.3^2+43.6^2}

|r|=\sqrt{2646.25}

|r|=51.44 units

Direction

tan\theta =\frac{43.6}{-27.3}=-1.597

vector is in 2nd quadrant thus

180-\theta =57.94

\theta =122.06^{\circ}

A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

8.1 x 10^13 electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours.

Explanation:

The total charge accumulated in 1.8 hours will be:

Total Charge = I x t = (-2.0 nC/s)(1.8 hrs)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Total Charge = - 12960 nC = - 12.96 x 10^(-6) C

Since, the charge on one electron is e = - 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

Therefore, no. of electrons will be:

No. of electrons = Total Charge/Charge on one electron

No. of electrons = [- 12.96 x 10^(-6) C]/[- 1.6 x 10^(-19) C]

<u>No. of electrons = 8.1 x 10^13 electrons</u>
