You just said "constant speed", and "straight line" which means constant direction.

"Acceleration" means any change of speed or direction of motion.  Since neither of those is changing, no acceleration is happening.

No. It’s moving at a constant speed (speed is not changing) in a straight line (same direction so velocity is not changing) so it is not accelerating. Acceleration only occurs if there’s a change in speed/velocity.

A cylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

L = 0.475 m = 475 mm = 18.7 inches

Explanation:

A cylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 207 GPa and an original diameter of 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 8900 N (2000 lb ) is applied. Compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.25 mm (0.010 in).

E = 207 GPa = 207*10⁹ Pa

D = 10.2 mm = 0.0102 m

P = 8900 N

ΔL = 0.25 mm = 2.5*10⁻⁴ m

L = ?

We can use the Equation of the Hooke's Law

ΔL = P*L / (A*E)    ⇒   L = ΔL*A*E / P

⇒   L = (2.5*10⁻⁴ m)*(π*(0.0102 m)²*0.25)*(207*10⁹ Pa) / (8900 N)

⇒   L = 0.475 m = 475 mm = 18.7 inches
