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 $2.17*10^{-5} m$

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a

Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

$\theta$ is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its x-component is

$A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

$B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41$

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_y = v sin \theta$

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its y-component is

$A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ , so the y-component is

$B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7$

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.

determine the force of gravitational attraction between a 78kg boy sitting 2 meters away from a 65kg girl.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$F=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy is 78 kg

Mass of a girl is 65 kg

We need to find the force of gravitational attraction between them if they are 2 m away.

The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 78\times 65}{(2)^2}\\\\=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$

So, the force between them is $8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$ .

Definition of Newton’s first law of motion

kipiarov [429]

Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. Newton's first law of motion is often stated as. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Do magnetic field lines ever start or end anywhere?

nevsk [136]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The lines of the field of a magnet don't begin or stop at anyplace, they generally make shut circles or loops and will proceed inside magnet (however here and there they are not drawn along these lines). We require an approach to show the bearing of the field.

The field lines of a magnet don't simply end at the magnetic tip. They go directly through it, so that inside the magnet the magnetic field lines indicates from the south to the north pole.

Waves that hit a fixed boundary return to the starting point on the____

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A: Opposite

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion, to every action there is an equal an opposite reaction. Thus, when the wave hits a fixed boundary, it is returned as a reflected wave to the starting point albeit on the other side.
