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 $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

A spherical shell with a net charge of 3Q surrounds a point charge of -q at the center of the shell. The charges on the inner an

aleksley [76]

Answer:

1) The charge on the outer shell is +4·Q

2) The charge on the inner shell is +Q

Explanation:

1) The given parameters of the spherical shell are;

The net charge on the spherical shell = 3·Q

The point charge surrounded by the spherical shell = -Q

Let 'x' represent the charge on the outer shell, and let 'y', represent the charge on the inner shell, we have;

The net charge, 3·Q = -q + x

∴ x = 3·Q + Q = 4·Q

The charge on the outer shell, x = 4·Q

2) The net charge in the shell is zero, therefore, the charge on the inner shell, 'y', is given as follows;

-Q + y = 0

∴ y = +Q

The charge on the inner shell, y = +Q

Strontium−90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium−235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28

Ludmilka [50]

Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Explanation :

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}$

$k=2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant = 1.00 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{2.47\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.00}{0.600}$

$t=20.7\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.
