During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze holding another, also upside-down, performer by the

legs. If the upward force on the lower performer is three times her weight, how much (in m) do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch? You may assume each is equivalent to a uniform rod 31.0 cm long and 1.78 cm in radius. Her mass is 55.0 kg.

Answer: 1.65 x 10^-5 m

Explanation:

Using the equation

Delta L = (1/Y x F/A ) Lo

Y = 1.6 x 10^10 N/m^2

Lo = 0.31 m

A= pi x r^2 = pi x (0.0178m)^2 = 9.9 x 10^ - 4 m^2

Ftot = 3 x w = 3 x 55 x 9.8 = 1617N

Fleg = Ftot/2 = 1617/2 = 808.5N

Delta L = 1/1.6 x 10^10 x 808.5/9.9 x 10^-4 x 0.31

= 0.65 x 10^-10 x 81.7 x 10^4 x 0.31 = 1.65 x 10^-5 m

The fire leg is stretched by 1.65 x 10^-5 m

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) before immersion

C = εA/d = (8.85e-12)(25e-4)/(1.31e-2) = 1.68e-12 F

q = CV = (1.68e-12)(255) = 4.28e-10 C

b) after immersion

q = 4.28e-10 C

Because the capacitor was disconnected before it was immersed, the charge remains the same.

c)*at 20° C

C = κεA/d = (80.4*)(8.85e-12)(25e-4)/(1.31e-2) = 5.62e-10 F

V = q/C = 4.28e-10 C/5.62e-10 C = 0.76 V

e)

U(i) = (1/2)CV^2 = (1/2)(1.68e-12)(255)^2 = 5.46e-8 J

U(f) = (1/2)(5.62e-10)(0.76)^2 = 1.62e-10 J

ΔU = 1.62e-10 J - 5.46e-8 J = -3.84e-8 J

Is this a chemical or physical change
Mumz [18]
Good question.  if it's a physical change what you would see is a change in the physical object/appearance like let's say I Tear a piece of paper, that would be a Physical change.  I believe your answer would be a chemical change.

Answer : The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, 0.101\AA

Explanation :

The formula used for kinetic energy is,

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2        ..........(1)

According to de-Broglie, the expression for wavelength is,

\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}

or,

v=\frac{h}{m\lambda}      ...........(2)

Now put the equation (2) in equation (1), we get:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\times m\times K.E}}  ...........(3)

where,

\lambda = wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg

K.E = kinetic energy = 4.71\times 10^{-15}J

Now put all the given values in the above formula (3), we get:

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}

\lambda=1.0115\times 10^{-11}m=0.101\AA

conversion used : (1\AA=10^{-10}m)

Therefore, the de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, 0.101\AA
