Kinetic energy<span> increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the </span>stopping distance<span> should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is </span>can<span> apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.</span>

How does a perspective drawing differ from an isometric drawing of the same object? when would you use a perspective view in lie
klemol [59]
<span>The quick way to visualize this is to compare isometric and perspective drawings of a cube. In the isometric drawing, all the edges of the cube would be parallel in sets of four. In the perspective drawing, the edges would taper towards one or more vanishing points. The isometric drawing, being easier to construct, perserving all scales and dimensions, is the preferred method for mechanical drawings, and are practical for use in the shop. The perspective drawing, which are trickier to draw properly, and does not preserve scales and dimensions, is the preferred method for architectural drawings, because they illustrate what the eye actually sees.</span>

A 2.2-m-long steel rod must not stretch more than 1.2 mm when it is subjected to a 8.5-kN tension force. Knowing that E = 200 GP
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a) 0.00996 m

b) 109090909 Pa

Explanation:

Unit conversions:

E = 200GPa = 200\times10^9 Pa

1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

8.5 kN = 8500 N

If the 2.2m rod cannot stretch more than 0.0012 m, its maximum strain is

\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L} = \frac{0.0012}{2.2} = 0.000545455

With elastic modulus being E = 200 GPa, then its maximum stress must be

\sigma = E\epsilon = 200\times10^9*0.000545455 = 109090909 Pa

Knowing the tension force being F = 8500 N, we can calculate the appropriate cross section area

A = \frac{F}{\sigma} = \frac{8500}{109090909} = 7.79\times10^{-5}m^2

And its corresponding diameter is

A = \pi d^2/4

7.79\times10^{-5} = \pi d^2/4

d^2 = \frac{4*7.79\times10^{-5}}{\pi} = 9.92\times10^{-5}

d = \sqrt{9.92\times10^{-5}} = 0.00996 m \approx 1 cm
