When subjected to a force of compression, the length of a bone (compression Young's modulus 9.4 x 109 N/m2, tensile Young's modu

lus 1.6 x 1010 N/m2) decreases by 3.7 x 10-5 m. When this same bone is subjected to a tensile force of the same magnitude, by how much does it stretch?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition of Young's Module which states that

$Y_1 = \frac{\frac{F}{A}}{\frac{\Delta l_0}{l}}$

Where,

F = Force

A = Cross sectional Area

L = Length

$L_0$ = Initial Length

We need to find the ratio between the two values when the another values are constant, that is

$\frac{Y_1}{Y_2} = \frac{\frac{\frac{F}{A}}{\frac{\Delta l_1}{l}}}{\frac{\frac{F}{A}}{\frac{\Delta l_2}{l}}}$

$\frac{Y_1}{Y_2} = \frac{\Delta l_2}{\Delta l_1}$

Re-arrange to find $\Delta l_2,$

$\Delta l_2 = \frac{9.4*10^9}{1.6*10^{10}}*3.7*10^{-5}$

$\Delta l_2 = 2.17*10^{-5} m$

Therefore the bone stretch around $2.17*10^{-5} m$

What happen when a star dies?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

It depends on the size of the star. If it's size was normal then it cools down into White dwarf, then a black dwarf. If a really huge star dies, then we can see a "Supernova" from that.

Hope this helps!!

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.16

ycow [4]

We assign the variables: T as tension and x the angle of the string
The <span>centripetal acceleration is expressed as v²/r=4.87²/0.9 and (0.163x4.87²)/0.9 = </span><span>T+0.163gcosx, giving T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosx.
</span>
<span>(1)At the bottom of the circle x=π and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – .163*9.8cosπ=5.893N. </span>
<span>(2)Here x=π/2 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosπ/2=4.295N. </span>
<span>(3)Here x=0 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cos0=2.698N. </span>
<span>(4)We have T=(0.163v²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosx.

</span><span>This minimum v is obtained when T=0 </span><span>and v verifies (0.163xv²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8=0, resulting to v=2.970 m/s.</span>

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:

$A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}}$ (1)

Where:

$A=0.375 g$ is the final amount of the material

$A_{o}=3 g$ is the initial amount of the material

$t=1 h$ is the time elapsed

$H$ is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find $h$ from (1):

$0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}}$ (2)

$\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}}$ (3)

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

$ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}})$ (4)

$-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2)$ (5)

Clearing $H$ :

$H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693)$ (6)

Finally:

$h=0.333 h$ This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2$

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>
