A rock climber hangs freely from a nylon rope that is 15 m long and has a diameter of 8.3 mm. If the rope stretches 5.1 cm, what

is the mass of the climber? Young's modulus for nylon is Y=0.37Ã10^10N/m^2.

Answer:

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

Explanation:

Change in length

        \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}

Load, P = m x 9.81 = 9.81m

Young's modulus, Y = 0.37 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Area

       A=\frac{\pi (8.3\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=5.41\times 10^{-5}m^2

Length, L = 15 m

ΔL = 5.1 cm = 0.051 m

Substituting

       0.051=\frac{9.81m\times 15}{5.41\times 10^{-5}\times 0.37\times 10^{10}}\\\\m=69.38kg  

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

A truck moving at 45 m/s passes a police car moving at 36 m/s in the opposite direction. if the frequency of the siren is 500 Hz
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: observed frequency (f') = 511.97Hz

Explanation: when there is a relative motion between an observer and a sound source, the frequency of sound wave perceived by the observer is different from the frequency of originally sent out by the sound source.

This is called Doppler effect and given mathematically below as

f' = (v + v') /(v- vs) * f

f' = observed frequency

v = speed of sound in air = 340m/s

v' = velocity of observer= 45m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 36m/s ( the negative sign came as a result of the fact that the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the velocity of the observer)

f = original frequency of sound source = 500Hz

f' = (340 + 45)/{340 -(-36)} * 500

f' = 385/ (340 + 36) * 500

f' = 385/ 376 * 500

f' = 1.0239 * 500

f' = 511.97Hz

What happens to the density of a substance as its temperature increases?
Dimas [21]
The molecules spread apart, so they take up more space. Because of this, they are less dense.

This means the density decreases as temperature increases.

Whose definition of acids and bases emphasizes the role of protons
torisob [31]

Answer:

Bronsted Lowry

Explanation:

Acid is defined as a proton donor.

While base is a proton acceptor

What is an acid An acid

An acid is a substance that donates protons or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond

What is a base?

A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.
