Answer:

Weight required = 194.51 N

Explanation:

The elongation is given by

            \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}

Length , L= 1.6 m

Diameter, d = 1.1 mm

Area

   A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{\pi \times (1.1\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=9.50\times 10^{-7}m^2

Change in length, ΔL = 2.8 mm = 0.0028 m

Young's modulus of copper, E = 117 GPa = 117 x 10⁹ Pa

Substituting,

      \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}\\\\0.0028=\frac{P\times 1.6}{9.50\times 10^{-7}\times 117\times 10^9}\\\\P=194.51N

Weight required = 194.51 N

You can obtain a rough estimate of the size of a molecule by the following simple experiment. Let a droplet of oil spread out on
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

  • The diameter of the molecule of oil is 1.405 10 ^{-9} \ m

Explanation:

We define density as

\rho = \frac{mass}{volume}

So, the volume for our oil will be

volume = \frac{mass}{\rho}

volume = \frac{7.62 \ 10^{-7} \ kg}{ 912 \ \frac{kg}{m^3}  }

volume = \frac{7.62 \ 10^{-7} \ kg}{ 912 \ \frac{kg}{m^3}  }

volume = 8.355 \ 10 ^{-10} \ m^3

the volume for a cylinder with radius r and height h is

volume = \pi r^2 h

So, we can obtain the height of the droplet of oil as:

h = \frac{volume}{\pi r^2}

the radius is

r=43.5  \ cm = 0.435 \ m

h = 1.405 10 ^{-9} \ m^3

And this is the diameter of the oil molecule.

Later research indicated that electric current is actually the flow of ____
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Electrons.

Explanation:

Electricity was discovered before the discovery of electrons by J.J Thompson in 1896. Before the electron, it was thought that it is the positive ions that move through the wire and carry current—that's why today the conventional current represents the flow of positive charges.

After J.J Thompson's discovery of the electrons, it was realized that it is the electrons that actually carry the current through the conductor. But changing the direction of the conventional current didn't seem appropriate, and that's why the convention continues to be used to this day—reminding us that once it were the positive ions that were thought to carry the current.

Assign a positive velocity to the red box and negative velocity to the blue box. Are they moving in opposite direction?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

<em>Yes, they are moving in opposite direction one to the other.</em>

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size of the velocity, and the direction shows which way it is moving in reference to a chosen reference direction. If the red box is assigned a positive velocity, and the blue box is assigned a negative velocity, as indicated in the question, then it means that the red box, and the blue box, both move in opposite direction to the other.
