A falling object (directly downward) is slowed down by air resistance. In turn it would take longer to fall.

A 615.00 kg race car is uniformly traveling around a circular race track. It takes the race car 20.00 seconds to do one lap arou

koban [17]

Answer:

The value is $f = 0.05 \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the car is $m = 615 \ kg$

The period of the circular motion is $T = 20 \ s$

The radius is $r = 80 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of the circular motion is

$f = \frac{1}{T }$

=> $f = \frac{1}{ 20 }$

=> $f = 0.05 \ Hz$

As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the power sourceA) increases.B) decreases.C) stays the same.

Nikolay [14]

As more and more lamps are connected in parallel (and if the current does not produce heating inside the battery) their brightness stays the same. Each lamp has the same voltage across it. Each lamp added in parallel decreases the total resistance in the circuit, so additional current flows.

How large a force is necessary to stretch a 4.0-mm-diameter steel wire from its original length by 1.0%?

jekas [21]

The force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

The given parameters include;

diameter of the steel, d = 4 mm

the radius of the wire, r = 2mm = 0.002 m

original length of the wire, L₁

final length of the wire, L₂ = 1.01 x L₁ (increase of 1% = 101%)

extension of the wire e = L₂ - L₁ = 1.01L₁ - L₁ = 0.01L₁

the Youngs modulus of steel, E = 200 Gpa

The area of the steel wire is calculated as follows;

$A = \pi r^2\\\\ A= 3.142 \times (0.002)^2\\\\ A= 1.257 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$

The force needed to stretch the wire is calculated from Youngs modulus of elasticity given as;

$E = \frac{stress}{strain} = \frac{F/A}{e/L} = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\F = \frac{EAe}{L}$

$F = \frac{200 \times 10^9\ \times\ 1.257\times 10^{-5}\ \times \ 0.01l_1}{l_1} \\\\F = 25,140\ N$

Thus, the force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.
