A typical machine tests the tensile strength of a sheet of material cut into a standard size of 5.00 centimeters wide by 10.0 ce

ntimeters long. The machine consists of one clamp that holds the entire width (5.00 centimeters) so that it hangs vertically. A second clamp is placed on the lower end of the object, to which a variable downward force is applied. The force is slowly increased until the object ruptures, and the breaking force is recorded.
A strip of aluminum foil with a thickness of 15.0 micrometers and matching the size recommendations of the machine is placed in the machine and tested. The force needed to rupture the foil is found to be 233 newtons. What is the tensile strength of the aluminum foil sample?

Answer:

Explanation:

tensile strength is stress that is needed to break the wire made of the material .

Here force required to break the sheet of material = 233 N

cross sectional area of the foil = breadth x thickness

= 5 x 10⁻² x 15 x 10⁻⁶ m²

= 75 x 10⁻⁸ m²

breaking stress = force / cross sectional area

= 233 / 75 x 10⁻⁸

= 3.1 x 10⁸ Pa .

Tensile strength = 3.1 x 10⁸ Pa .

qaws [65]

Answer:

The height will be 4 times.

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed at the bottom of the hill doubled.

We need to calculate the height

Using conservation of energy

$K.E_{t}+P.E_{t}=K.E_{b}+P.E_{b}$

$K.E_{b}=P.E_{t}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(4v^2)=mgh$

Therefore,

$P.E = mg(4h)$

Here, m and g are constant

Hence, The height will be 4 times.

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:

$\rm AB = 1.5 \times \cos(30^\circ) \approx 1.30\; \rm m$ .

The length of $\rm BP_2$ would thus be

$\rm BP_2 = AP_2 - AB = 1.5 - 1.30 \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ .

The change in gravitational potential energy can be found with the equation

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = m \cdot g \cdot \Delta h$ . In this equation,

$m$ is the mass of the object,
$g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth, and
$\Delta h$ is the change in the object's height.

In this case, $m = 4\; \rm kg$ and $\Delta h \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ . Therefore:

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = 4 \times 9.81 \times 0.20 \approx 7.8\; \rm J$ .

Dahasolnce [82]

<span>A substance that accelerates the rate of chemical reaction is called a catalyst. It serves as an alternative pathway for the reaction product. The increase of rate of chemical reaction is because catalyst has low activiation energy than the original pathway. The low activation energy will increase the amount of molecules that can benefit in the energy created by the catalyst.</span>

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s
