Answer:

when the old wooden stiff poles were being used, none of the kinetic energy during the run-up was stored in the pole.  With the new fiber glass flexible pole, some of that energy is stored in the flexing of the pole and then released as the pole straightens out at the top of its arc.  Where 13 ft was considered an excellent competition vault with the stiff pole, the additional boost from the stored energy in the flex pole has made 17 ft vaults the winning heights.

The flexible fiberglass poles can bend more than wooden ones, before breaking. This meant that fiberglass poles are able to store more energy than wooden ones, and provide an additional increase in height to the vaulter, when the pole straightens out near the top of the vault.

A point charge gives rise to an electric field with magnitude 2 N/C at a distance of 4 m. If the distance is increased to 20 m,
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

0.08 N/C

Explanation:

Electric Field: This is defined as the force per unit charge exerted at a point. The expression for electric field is given as,

E = Kq/r².............................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, q = Charge, k = proportionality constant, r = distance.

making q the subject of the equation,

q = Er²/k............................... Equation 2

Given: E = 2 N/C, r = 4 m,

Substitute into equation 2

q = 2(4)²/k

q = 32/k C.

When r is increased to 20 m,

E = k(32/k)/20²

E = 32/400

E = 0.08 N/C.

Hence the electric Field = 0.08 N/C

The aluminum wire in a high-voltage transmission line is 2.7 cm in diameter. It is designed to carry a current of 1100 A. What i
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

1660 V

Explanation:

Resistance should be determined and then voltage drop across the power line can be determined.

R = ρ L /A  

Here ρ = Resistivity of aluminum = 2.7\times 10^{-8}\Omega m

L = length = 32 km = 32,000 m

Area of cross section = A = π r² = π (0.027/2)² = 0.00057255 m²

Resistance = R =

(2.7\times 10^{-8}\Omega m (32,000)/(0.00057255) = 1.5090 Ohms.

Voltage drop = V = I R = (1100)(1.5090) = 1659.9 V.

(If resistivity value is different, then the resistance will be different and hence final answer for voltage will also vary ).

Nick added five yards to the maximum distance that he can throw a football which component has he most likely added to his train
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

I believe the answer is: C.)weight lifting twice a week

Weight lifting increase the muscle composition in your body. When you have higher muscle composition, your body would be able to generate more power which might resulted an increase in throwing distance.

Running every day would only increase endurance and stretching is only benefited to increase flexibility and prevent injuries.
