The part that it played was in the changing of the environment/climate for the organisms that live on those continents. And the part it could've played was the way that the organisms had to adapt to that climate and it stayed that way over generations.

A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal gauge pressure, p=75 psip=75 psi. It had a wall thickness
Mekhanik [1.2K]

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the longitudinal effort and the effort of the hoop. The effort of the hoop is given as

\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}

Here,

P = Pressure

d = Diameter

t = Thickness

At the same time the longitudinal stress is given as,

\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}

The letters have the same meaning as before.

Then he hoop stress would be,

\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_h = \frac{75 \times 8}{2\times 0.25}

\sigma_h = 1200psi

And the longitudinal stress would be

\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}

\sigma_l = \frac{75\times 8}{4\times 0.25}

\sigma_l = 600Psi

The Mohr's circle is attached in a image to find the maximum shear stress, which is given as

\tau_{max} = \frac{\sigma_h}{2}

\tau_{max} = \frac{1200}{2}

\tau_{max} = 600Psi

Therefore the maximum shear stress in the pressure vessel when it is subjected to this pressure is 600Psi

The capacitor is now disconnected from the battery, and the plates of the capacitor are then slowly pulled apart until the separ
alexdok [17]

Answer:

U₁ = (ϵAV²)/6d

This means that the new energy of the capacitor is (1/3) of the initial energy before the increased separation.

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by (1/2) (CV²)

Energy in the capacitor initially

U = CV²/2

V = voltage across the plates of the capacitor

C = capacitance of the capacitor

But the capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometry of the capacitor is given by

C = ϵA/d

ϵ = Absolute permissivity of the dielectric material

A = Cross sectional Area of the capacitor

d = separation between the capacitor

So,

U = CV²/2

Substituting for C

U = ϵAV²/2d

Now, for U₁, the new distance between plates, d₁ = 3d

U₁ = ϵAV²/2d₁

U₁ = ϵAV²/(2(3d))

U₁ = (ϵAV²)/6d

This means that the new energy of the capacitor is (1/3) of the initial energy before the increased separation.

A speeding motorist traveling down a straight highway at 100 km/h passes a parked police car. It takes the police constable 1.0
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

t = 7.5 s

Explanation:

The distance traveled by the car at the time of meeting of the two cars must be the same. First, we calculate the distance traveled by the police car. For that we use 2nd equation of motion. Here, we take the time when police car starts to be reference. So,

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

s₁ = distance traveled by police car

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

t = time taken

Therefore,

s₁ = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

s₁ = 4.9 t²

Now, we calculate the distance traveled by the car. For constant speed and time to be 1 second more than the police car time, due to car starting time, we get:

s₂ = Vt = V(t + 1)

where,

s₂ = distance traveled by car

V = Velocity of car = (100 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1 h/ 3600 s) = 27.78 m/s

Therefore,

s₂ = 27.78 t + 27.78

Now, we know that at the time of meeting:

s₁ = s₂

4.9 t² = 27.78 t + 27.78

4.9 t² - 270.78 t - 27.78 = 0

solving the equation and choosing the positive root:

t = 6.5 s

since, we want to know the time from the moment car crossed police car. Therefore, we add 1 second of starting time in this.

t = 6.5 s + 1 s

<u>t = 7.5 s</u>
