A wire has a cross sectional area of 4.00 mm2 and is stretched by 0.100 mm by a certain force. How far will a wire of the same m

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: $0.05\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of wire $A_1=4\ mm^2$

Extension of wire $\delta l=0.1\ mm$

Extension in a wire is given by

$\Rightarrow \delta l=\dfrac{FL}{AE}$

where, $E=\text{Youngs modulus}$

$\Rightarrow \delta_1=\dfrac{FL}{A_1E}\quad \ldots(i)$

for same force, length and material

$\Rightarrow \delta_2=\dfrac{FL}{A_2E}\quad \ldots(ii)$

Divide (i) and (ii)

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.1}{\delta_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.1\times \dfrac{4}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.05\ mm$

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes

Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}$

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}$

$AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph$

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

How would you describe brass since it ia used in weapons, pipes, intruments and ect? A compound, Alloy, Element l, Or molecule?

Alik [6]

Brass is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.
