You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight  = m\times g

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

l = length of wire  = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section  = \pi r^2

r = radius of the wire = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m      (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\Delta l = change in length  = 1.99 mm = 1.99\times 10^{-3}m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

When a 25-kg crate is pushed across a frictionless horizontal floor with a force of 200 N, directed 20 below the horizontal, th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Option E is correct 310N

Explanation:

Given that the force used to push the crate is F = 200N

The force directed 20° below the horizontal

Mass of crate is m = 25kg

Weight of the crate can be determine using

W = mg

g is gravitational constant =9.8m/s²

W = 25×9.8

W = 245 N

Check attachment. For free body diagram and better understanding

Using newton second law along the vertical axis since we want to find the normal force

ΣFy = m•ay

ay = 0, since the body is not moving in the vertical or y direction

N—W—F•Sin20 = 0

N = W+F•Sin20

N = 245+ 200Sin20

N = 245 + 68.4

N = 313.4 N

The normal force is approximately 310 N to the nearest ten

Three masses (3 kg, 5 kg, and 7 kg) are located in the xy-plane at the origin, (2.3 m, 0), and (0, 1.5 m), respectively.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a) C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m

b) (x_4,y_4)=(-1.917,-1.75)m

Explanation:

The center of mass "represent the unique point in an object or system which can be used to describe the system's response to external forces and torques"

The center of mass on a two dimensional plane is defined with the following formulas:

\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i x_i}{M}

\bar y =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i y_i}{M}

Where M represent the sum of all the masses on the system.

And the center of mass C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)

Part a

m_1= 3 kg, m_2=5kg,m_3=7kg represent the masses.

(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(2.3,0),(x_3,y_3)=(0,1.5) represent the coordinates for the masses with the units on meters.

So we have everything in order to find the center of mass, if we begin with the x coordinate we have:

\bar x =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.767m

\bar y =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.7m

C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m

Part b

For this case we have an additional mass m_4=6kg and we know that the resulting new center of mass it at the origin C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)=(0,0)m and we want to find the location for this new particle. Let the coordinates for this new particle given by (a,b)

\bar x =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)+(6kg*a)}{3kg+5kg+7kg+6kg}=0m

If we solve for a we got:

(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)+(6kg*a)=0

a=-\frac{(5kg*2.3m)}{6kg}=-1.917m

\bar y =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)+(6kg*b)}{3kg+5kg+7kg+6kg}=0m

(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)+(6kg*b)=0

And solving for b we got:

b=-\frac{(7kg*1.5m)}{6kg}=-1.75m

So the coordinates for this new particle are:

(x_4,y_4)=(-1.917,-1.75)m

Which wave property changes when two waves interfere in the same medium?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>When two waves of same frequency travel in a medium simultaneously in the same direction then, due to their superposition, the resultant intensity at any point of the medium is different from the sum of intensities of the two waves. At certain points the intensity of the resultant wave has a large value while at some points it has a very small or zero. This is called wave interference.</span>
