Answer:

The mass, m, of the load = 11.3 Kg

Explanation:

Young's Modulus = Stress / Strain

<em>Stress = Force / Area </em>

Force = mass,m * acceleration due to gravity,g  

assuming g = 10ms⁻²

therefore, Force = 10m

m is mass of the load in kilograms

Area of steel wire = π * r^2, where π= 3.14, r = 1.2/2 = 0.6mm or 6.0 * 10^-4m

= 3.14 * (6.0 * 10⁻⁴m)^2 = 1.13*10⁻⁶m²

<em>Stress = </em>10m / 1.13*10⁻⁶m²

<em> Strain = extension / original length</em>

= (new length - original length)/original length

= (3.2016 - 3.2000)/3.2000

Strain = 0.0005

Using Young's Modulus = Stress / Strain

Note: 1Pa = 1N/m² ; Young's modulus for steel is 2.0 × 10¹¹ Pa or N/m²

2.0*10¹¹ N/m²= Stress / Strain

2.0*10¹¹ = (10m / 1.13*10⁻⁶) / 0.0005

0.0005 * 2.0*10¹¹  = 10m/1.13*10⁻⁶

10m  = 1.13*10⁻⁶ * 0.0005*2*10¹¹

10m  = 113

m = 11.3 kg

Therefore, the mass, m, of the load = 11.3 Kg

HELP NOWWW Studies based on which of the following were used to describe the current model of the atom?
alexgriva [62]
Well I know that ernest rutherford did the gold foil experiment where he fired alpha particles at gold foil. This experiment founded the nucleus but I don't know if the current model of the atom is based on this.

Cathode ray tube experiments sounds like its to do with electrolysis so i dont think it can be that.

What is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars? The radius of mars is 3.4×106m.
valkas [14]
<h2>Answer: 56.718 min</h2>

Explanation:

According to the Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion<em> </em><em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.

This Law is originally expressed as follows:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}   (1)

Where;

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

M=6.39(10)^{23}kg is the mass of Mars

a=3.4(10)^{6}m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit the spacecraft describes around Mars (assuming it is a <u>circular orbit </u>and a <u>low orbit near the surface </u>as well, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2)

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(6.39(10)^{23}kg)}(3.4(10)^{6}m)^{3}}    (3)

T=\sqrt{11581157.44 s^{2}}    (4)

Finally:

T=3403.1099s=56.718min    This is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars

What is the principle of potentiometer?​
kupik [55]

Answer:

The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).

A 3.50 cm tall object is held 24.8 cm from a lens of focal length 16.0 cm. What is the image height?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

<h2>6.36 cm</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula to first get the image distance

1/f = 1/u+1/v

f = focal length of the lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

Given f = 16.0 cm, u = 24.8 cm

1/v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625-0.04032

1/v = 0.02218

v = 1/0.02218

v = 45.09 cm

To get the image height, we will us the magnification formula.

Mag = v/u = Hi/H

Hi = image height = ?

H = object height = 3.50 cm

45.09/24.8 = Hi/3.50

Hi = (45.09*3.50)/24.8

Hi = 6.36 cm

The image height is 6.36 cm

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Find answers below.

Explanation:

1. Radiant: the energy of light.

2. Light: makes it possible to see things.

3. Sun: a source of light. This source of light is referred to as solar energy and it's renewable source of energy.

4. Crest: top of wave. Thus, it's typically the highest part of an electromagnetic wave.

5. Trough: bottom of wave. Thus, it's typically the lowest part of an electromagnetic wave.

6. Wavelength: distance from one point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.

7. Infrared light: it has longer wavelengths than visible light.

8. X-rays: shorter wavelengths than visible light.

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

An electromagnetic spectrum refers to a range of frequency and wavelength that an electromagnetic wave is distributed or extends. The electromagnetic spectrum comprises of gamma rays, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, radio waves, and infrared radiation.
