Answer: 288.8 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

t=15.2 s is the time it takes to the child to reach the bottom of the slope

V_{o}=0 is the initial velocity (the child started from rest)

\theta=15\° is the angle of the slope

d is the length of the slope

Now, the Force exerted on the sled along the ramp is:

F=ma (1)

Where m is the mass of the sled and a its acceleration

In addition, if we draw a free body diagram of this sled, the force along the ramp will be:

F=mg sin \theta (2)

Where g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Then:

ma=mg sin \theta (3)

Finding a:

a=g sin \theta (4)

a=9.8 m/s^{2} sin(15\°) (5)

a=2.5 m/s^{2} (6)

Now, we will use the following kinematic equations to find d:

V=V_{o}+at (7)

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2ad (8)

Where V is the final velocity

Finding V from (7):

V=at=(2.5 m/s^{2})(15.2 s) (9)

V=38 m/s (10)

Substituting (10) in (8):

(38 m/s)^{2}=2(2.5 m/s^{2})d (11)

Finding d:

d=288.8 m

A tensile test specimen has a gage length = 50 mm and its cross-sectional area = 100 mm2. The specimen yields at 48,000 N, and t
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) yield strength

   \sigma_y = \dfrac{F_y}{A} = =\dfrac{48000}{100} = 480 MPa

b) modulus of elasticity

strain calculation

\varepsilon_0=\dfrac{L-L_0}{L_0}=\dfrac{50.23-50}{50} = 0.0046

strain for offset yield point

\varepsilon_{new} = \varepsilon_0 -0.002

                              =0.0046-0.002 = 0.0026

now, modulus of elasticity

 E = \dfrac{\sigma_y}{\varepsilon_{new}}=\dfrac{480}{0.0026}

    = 184615.28 MPa = 184.615 GPa

c) tensile strength

 \sigma_u =\dfrac{F_{max}}{A}=\dfrac{87000}{100}=870MPa

d) percentage elongation

\% Elongation = \dfrac{L-L_0}{L_0}\times 100 = \dfrac{67.3-50}{50}\times 100 = 34.6\%

e) percentage of area reduction

\% Area\ reduction = \dfrac{A-A_f}{A}\times 100=\dfrac{100-53}{100}= 47 \%

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?<br>​
____ [38]

Answer:

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

<u>explanation</u><u>:</u>

{  =  \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \:  \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{0}_{  - 1}e }}

hence it's mass number is zero

{  =  \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \:  \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{4} _{2}He  }}

hence it's mass number is 4

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>proton</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>heavier</u><u> </u><u>than</u><u> </u><u>electron</u>

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton
