Why are bridges declared unsafe after a long use

After it's long use, the bridge continuously undergoes through alternating strains. in result, the elastic strength of the bridge gets reduced. while the process goes on the bridge makes elastic fatigue and a permanent change happens which makes it collapse which is the reason why bridges are declared unsafe after a long use :)

How can you prove that acceleration is a derived unit

Aliun [14]

a = (dx / dt)²

Explanation: Unit of distance is m (metres) and unit of time is s (seconds) speed v is first derivative of distance x versus time:

v = dx / dt, unit is m/s. Acceleration is second derivative of

speed versus time a = (dx / dt)² = (dv/dt) , unit is m/s²

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

$F = qE$

so here the force is tension force on it

$F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N$

$Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C$

now we have

$6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E$

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?

torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd where F = mg

W= Fd

= mg d

= 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

= 294 J

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example

MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the $(velocity)^2$ and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:
