The Poisson's ratio definition is given as the change in lateral deformation over longitudinal deformation. Mathematically it could be expressed like this,

\upsilon = \frac{\text{Lateral Strain}}{\text{Longitudinal Strain}}

\upsilon = \frac{(\delta a/a)}{(\delta l/l)}

Replacing with our values we would have to,

\upsilon = \frac{(2.89933-2.9/2.9)}{(9.70710-9.7/97)}

\upsilon = 0.1977

Therefore Poisson's ratio is 0.1977.

A 3.00N rock is thrown vertically into the air from the ground. At h=15.0m, v=25m/s upward. Use the work-energy theorem to find
butalik [34]

Answer:

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s

correct answer is b. 30.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

h = 15.0m

v = 25m/s

weight of the rock m = 3.00N  

solution

we use here work-energy theorem that is express as here

work = change in the kinetic energy    ..............................1

so it can be written as

work = force × distance     ...................2

and

KE is express as

K.E = 0.5 × m × v²  

and it can be written as

F × d = 0.5 × m × (vf)² - (vi)²      ......................3

here

m is mass and vi and vf is initial and final velocity

F = mg = m  (-9.8)  , d = 15 m and v{f} = 25 m/s

so put value in equation 3 we get

m  (-9.8) × 15 = 0.5 × m × (25)² - (vi)²

solve it we get

(vi)² =  919

vi = 30.32 m/s

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s

A proton traveling to the right enters a region of uniform magnetic field that points into the page.When the proton enters this
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

(C) deflected toward the top of the page.(

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by using Fleming's Left Hand Rule. By doing so, we have to place:

- The index finger of the left hand in the direction of the magnetic field

- The middle finger of the left hand in the direction of the particle's velocity

- The thumb will give the direction of the force, and therefore the deflection of the proton

In this problem, we have:

- Magnetic field direction: into the page --> index finger

- Proton's velocity: to the right --> middle finger

By doing so, we observe that the thumb points towards the top of the page: therefore, the correct answer is

(C) deflected toward the top of the page.

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

Question

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles  travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.

Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?

A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.

B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.

C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.    

Answer:

 

The right answer is C)    

Explanation:

In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.  

So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".  

Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

Cheers!
