Answer:

Option C is correct.

Modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers = (12 × 10⁶) psi

Explanation:

For combination of materials, the properties (especially physical properties) of the resulting composite is a sum of the fractional contribution of each material thay makes up the composite.

In this composite,

The fibres = 20 vol%

Aluminium = 80 vol%

Modulus of elasticity of the composite

= [0.2 × E(fibres)] + [0.8 × E(Al)]

Modulus of elasticity of the fibers = E(fibres) = (55 × 10⁶) psi. =

Modulus of elasticity of aluminum = E(Al) = (10 × 10⁶) psi.

But modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers is given in the expression.

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ E(fibres)] + [0.8 ÷ E(Al)]

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ (55 × 10⁶)] + [0.8 ÷ (10 × 10⁶)]

= (3.636 × 10⁻⁹) + (8.00 × 10⁻⁸)

= (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

E(perpendicular) = 1 ÷ (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

= 11,961,722.5 psi = (11.96 × 10⁶) psi

= (12 × 10⁶) psi

Hope this Helps!!!

Why do we see the color black?
Inessa [10]
We see black colour in absence of light. Black colour absoorbs all the light, ( just opposite of white) and hence we do not see any colour. Black colour is also related to darkness.

#1 What materials is each part of the flashlight made of? (A flashlight will include wires,a light bulb,a lens, a reflector ,and
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Explanation:

Question 1

1.The wires are made of conducting materials e.g copper

2. A light bulb is made of filament material e.g tungsten with gases enclosed in a glass material

3.The lens is made of transparent glass material

4 The reflector is made of plastic with silver lining

5. The exterior casing of most flash lights are made of plastic

Question 2.

1.Copper is used to conduct electric current from the battery to the bulb

2.The tungsten filament ignite the gases and causes it to glow

3. The lens covers the lamp on your flashlight so that the glass on the lamp

/bulbs does not get broken.

4.The reflector redirects the light rays from the lamp, creating a steady beam of light, which is the light you see emitting from the flashlight.

5. The exterior cases houses the entire assembly and makes the flash light handy for use
