Answer:

D. 803 lbs

Explanation:

In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:

Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5

Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25

Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25

Area = 36.75

Now, the stress is given by the following formula:

Stress = Force/Area

Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75

Stress = 802.72 lbs

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>D. 803 lbs</u>

At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt
Volgvan

Answer:

It takes you 32.27 seconds to travel 121 m using the speed ramp

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- The speed ramp has a length of 121 m and is moving at a speed of

 2.2 m/s relative to the ground

- That means the speed of the ramp is 2.2 m/s

- You can cover the same distance in 78 seconds when walking on

  the ground

<em>Lets find your speed on the ground</em>

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

The distance is 121 meters

The time is 78 seconds

Your speed on the ground = 121 ÷ 78 = 1.55 m/s

If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that

you walk on the ground

That means you walk with speed 1.55 m/s and the ramp moves by

speed 2.2 m/s

So your speed using the ramp = 2.2 + 1.55 = 3.75 m/s

Now we want to find the time you will take to travel 121 meters using

the speed ramp

Time = Distance ÷ speed

Distance = 121 meters

Speed 3.75 m/s

Time = 121 ÷ 3.75 = 32.27 seconds

It takes you 32.27 seconds to travel 121 m using the speed ramp

a 0.0215m diameter coin rolls up a 20 degree inclined plane. the coin starts with an initial angular speed of 55.2rad/s and roll
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

h = 0.0362\,m

Explanation:

Given the absence of non-conservative force, the motion of the coin is modelled after the Principle of Energy Conservation solely.

U_{g,A} + K_{A} = U_{g,B} + K_{B}

U_{g,B} - U_{g,A} = K_{A} - K_{B}

m\cdot g \cdot h = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I \cdot \omega_{o}^{2}

The moment of inertia of the coin is:

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}

After some algebraic handling, an expression for the maximum vertical height is derived:

m\cdot g \cdot h = \frac{1}{4}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}\cdot \omega_{o}^{2}

h = \frac{r^{2}\cdot \omega_{o}^{2}}{g}

h = \frac{(0.0108\,m)^{2}\cdot (55.2\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

h = 0.0362\,m

On which moment of inertia of an object does depend on?
Likurg_2 [28]

Additional Information:

I couldn't get your question very clearly. In order to solve the question, I will define moment of inertia, state the formula and factors that the moment of inertia of a body depends and does not depend on.

Answer:

<u>Moment of inertia depends on;</u>

1. Mass of the body

2. Axis of rotation and

3. Distribution of the body

<u>Moment of inertia does not depend on;</u>

1. Angular velocity of the body.

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined as a quantity that determines the torque needed for a desired angular acceleration or a property of a body due to which it resists angular acceleration about a rotational axis.

                 Moment of Inertia, I = ∑mr²

Where,

I is the moment of Inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance from the axis of the rotation

The moment of inertia of a body depends on distribution of body, axis of rotation and mass of the body. However, the moment of Inertia of a body is not dependent on angular velocity of the body.

Describe the stratosphere.
Leviafan [203]

1. The stratosphere is above the troposphere. This layer of the atmosphere is where planes fly. At the top of the stratosphere, there is a ozone layer.

2. The mesosphere is above the stratosphere. Temperatures drastically drop in the mesosphere. It is the middle layer of the atmosphere.

3. Here are the layers of the atmosphere:

  • Troposphere
  • Stratosphere
  • Mesosphere
  • Thermosphere
  • Exosphere

Hope this helps you!
