When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured
zaharov [31]

Answer:

\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, \Delta L is the amount by which the length of the object changes and  L_0 is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}

Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves (see Chapter 24). Because of this transfer, the entropy
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

1.  Decreases,

2.   Increases,

3.   Increases

Explanation:

The heat which is a product of sun's energy, is transferred from the sun to the earth through radiation, conduction or convention. This heat passes through the earth atmosphere, then warms it , before becoming heat energy.

Therefore, Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves . Because of this transfer, the entropy of the sun DECREASES, the entropy of the earth INCREASES and the entropy of the sun-earth system INCREASES.

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg
