Physics

pantera1 [17]4 years ago
6 0


A material is said to be ductile if it can be stretched thin when tensile stress is administered. Such a material can be stretched into a wire.

 This is different from malleability which describes a material that can bend or alter shape using compressive force e.g. hammering , rather than tensile stress.

Tensile stress is a type of force or stress that alters the length of a material in the same direction as the force being applied. 

The opposite of ductile is brittle. Brittle materials can break when subjected too much tensile stress.

A 90-kg astronaut is stranded in space at a point 6.0 m from his spaceship, and he needs to get back in 4.0 min to control the s
Stella [2.4K]

Momentum = 0.5 * 4 = 2 
to conclude the man’s velocity after he throws the piece of equipment, divide this number by the man’s mass. 

v = 2/90 

This is about 0.0222 m/s. To know if he can move 6 meters at velocity in 4minutes, use the following equation. 

d = v * t, t = 4 * 60 = 240 s 
d = 2/90 * 240 = 5⅓ meters. 

This is ⅔ of a meter from the spaceship. To know the velocity that he must have to move 6 meter, use the same equation. 

6 = v * 240 
v = 6/240 
This is about 0.00416 m/s. 
His final momentum = 90 * 6/240 = 2.25 


To know the velocity of the package, divide this number by the mass of the package. 
v = 2.25/0.5 = 4.5 m/s

You pull a wagon with a force of 20 N. The wagon has a mass of 10 kg. What is the wagon's acceleration?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 10 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{10}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

I would say diamond because of how durable of a material it is. The light also travels the slowest for m/s.
