The weight of a body above sea level varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth. If a woman weigh

s 131 pounds when she is at sea​ level, 3960 miles from the center of​ Earth, how much will she weigh when she is at the top of a​ mountain, 4.8 miles above sea​ level?

Answer:

89.16pounds

Explanation:

The equation that defines this problem is as follows

W=k/X^2

where

W=Weight

K= proportionality constant

X=distance from the center of Earth

first we must find the constant of proportionality, with the first part of the problem

k=WX^2=131x3960^2=2054289600pounds x miles^2

then we use the equation to calculate the woman's weight with the new distance

W=2054289600/(4800)^2=89.16pounds

A copper wire has a radius of 3.5 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends o
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of copper wire, R = 3.5 mm

extension of the copper wire, e =  5.0×10⁻³ L

L is the original length of the copper wire,

Young's modulus for copper, Y =  11×10¹⁰Pa.

Young's modulus, Y is given as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain, measured in the same unit as Young's modulus.

Y =\frac{Tensile \ stress}{Tensile \ strain} \\\\Tensile \ stress = Y*Tensile \ strain\\\\But, Tensile \ strain = \frac{extension}{original \ Length} = \frac{5.0*10^{-3} L}{L} = 5.0*10^{-3}\\\\Tensile \ stress = 11*10^{10} *5.0*10^{-3} \ = 550*10^6 \ Pa

Therefore, the tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.

Two parallel plates 19 cm on a side are given equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.0 ✕ 10^−9 C. The plates are 1.8 mm apart
Romashka [77]

Answer:

E   = 5291.00 N/C

Explanation:

Expression for capacitance is

C = \frac{\epsilon  A}{d}

where

A is area of square plate

D = DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PLATE

C = \frac{\epsilon\times(19\times 10^{-2})^2}{1.5\times 10^{-3}}

C = 24.06 \epsilon

C = 24.06\times 8.854\times 10^{-12} F

C =2.1\times 10^{-10} F

We know that capacitrnce and charge is related as

V = \frac{Q}{C}

 = \frac{2\tiimes 10^{-9}}{2.\times 10^{-10}}

v = 9.523 V

Electric field is given as

E = \frac{V}{d}

   = \frac{9.52}{1.8*10^{-3}}

E   = 5291.00 V/m

E   = 5291.00 N/C
