An aluminum cylinder with a radius of 2.7 cm and a height of 67 cm is used as one leg of a workbench. The workbench pushes down

on the cylinder with a force of 3.2×104N. What is the compressive strain of the cylinder? Young's modulus for aluminum is 7.0×1010Pa. Express your answer using two significant figures. Compressive strain = nothing

Answer:

1.9\times 10^{-4}

1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2.7 cm

F = Force = 3.2\times 10^4\ N

A = Area = \pi r^2

\sigma = Stress = \frac{F}{A}

E = Young's modulus = 7\times 10^{10}\ Pa

\epsilon = Strain

L_0 = Original length = 67 cm

\Delta L = Change in length

Young's modulus is given by

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\frac{3.2\times 10^4}{\pi 0.027^2}}{7\times 10^{10}}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=0.0001996=1.9\times 10^{-4}

Strain is 1.9\times 10^{-4}

Strain is given by

\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\epsilon\times L_0\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.9\times 10^{-4}\times 0.67\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.0001273\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m

The cylinder height decreases by 1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m

a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring force constant with
icang [17]

Complete question:

a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring with force constant of  955 N/m. The block comes to rest after compressing the spring a distance of 4.6 cm. Find the initial speed (in m/s) of the block.

Answer:

The initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 2.0 kg

force constant of the spring, K = 955 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

Apply Hook's law to determine applied force on the spring;

F = Kx

F = (955 N/m)(0.046 m)

F = 43.93 N

Apply Newton's 2nd law to determine the magnitude of deceleration of the block when it encounters the spring;

F = ma

a = F / m

a = 43.93 / 2

a = 21.965 m/s²

Apply kinematic equation to determine the initial speed of the block;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final speed of the block = 0

u is the initial speed of the block

x is the distance traveled by the block = compression of the spring

a is the block deceleration = -21.965 m/s²

0 = u² + 2(-21.965 )(0.046)

0 = u²  - 2.021

u² =  2.021

u = √2.021

u = 1.422 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar winds occur. Part 2: Give two examples in which solar winds impact Earth.
Troyanec [42]

Part 1

When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released, and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

Part 2

1.  Not all the radiation of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly solar flares.

2.  Solar flares contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.
