Steel is very stiff, and the Young's modulus for steel is unusually large, 2.0×1011 N/m2. A cube of steel 25 cm on a side suppor

ts a load of 85 kg that has the same horizontal cross section as the steel cube. What is the magnitude of the "normal" force that the steel cube exerts on the load? By how much does the steel cube compress, due to the load that it supports? (Give your answer as a positive number.)

Answer:

Force (normal) = 833.85 N Compression = 1.67 x 10⁻⁸ m

Explanation:

Given data Young's Modulus (Y) = 2 x 10¹¹ N/m², Length of one side of cube = 25 cm = 0.25 m, mass of load = 85 kg

Normal force is the force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object. This force would be applied by the surface onto the object in the same vector and is used to keep the object stable while it rests on a surface.

We know from Newton's Second Law that

F = ma where m is the mass and a is the acceleration (<em>in this case due to gravity</em>) hence, the normal opposing force to the load applied by the surface would be equal to the force applied on the surface by the weight of the load on the surface, So

F (normal) = M (load) x a = 85 x 9.81 = 833.85 N

Compression is the change in length of an object by the exertion of force upon it. Using the Young's Modulus formula we can find this change in the cube of steel. The Young's Modulus is given by

Y = (F/A)/(ΔL/L), where Y is the Young's Modulus, F is the Force being applied on the object, A is the cross sectional area on which the said force is applied, ΔL is the change in length due to said force being applied and L is the original Length of the side of the cross sectional area.

Solving this for ΔL, we can re- arrange the equation

ΔL = (F x L)/(Y x A) since area of square is L x L we can simplify the equation to get

ΔL = (F)/(Y x L), substitute the values

ΔL = (833.85)/(2 x 10¹¹ x 0.25) = 1.67 x 10⁻⁸m

Select the phrases that correctly describe density. Density is a chemical property. Density relates a mass to its volume. Densit
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Density relates a mass to its volume.

Density varies with temperature

Density determines if a substance floats or sinks.

Density may have units of grams per milliliter (g/mL)

Explanation:

Density D is a characteristic property of a substance or material and is defined as the relationship between the mass m of a body or substance and the volume V it occupies:

D=\frac{m}{V}

This means the density is inversely proportional to the volume.

On the other hand, density is a scalar quantity and according to the International System of Units its unit is D=\frac{kg}{m^{3}} , although it can be also expressed in \frac{g}{ml}.

It should be noted that the density of a body is related to its buoyancy, a substance or body will float on another fluid if its density is lower. In addition, if the pressure of the substance remains constant, as the temperature increases, the density decreases; this means density varies with the temperature as well.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy
cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference.  So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative. 

What that means is:  You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom.  Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes.  So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

v_o is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

v_s is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, v_s is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since v_s is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.
