After a fall, a 90 kg rock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been 16 m long and 7.8 mm in diameter

but has stretched by 3.1 cm. For the rope, calculate
(a) the strain,
(b) the stress, and
(c) the Young's modulus.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the rock climber, m = 90 kg

Original length of the rock, L = 16 m

Diameter of the rope, d = 7.8 mm

Stretched length of the rope, \Delta L=3.1\ cm

(a) The change in length per unit original length is called strain. So,

\text{strain}=\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}\\\\\text{strain}=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-2}}{16}\\\\\text{strain}=0.00193

(b) The force acting per unit area is called stress.

\text{stress}=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\\text{stress}=\dfrac{90\times 10}{\pi (3.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\\\text{stress}=1.88\times 10^7\ Pa

(c) The ratio of stress to the strain is called Young's modulus. So,

Y=\dfrac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}}\\\\Y=\dfrac{1.88\times 10^7}{0.00193}\\\\Y=9.74\times 10^9\ N/m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

The maximum speed limit on interstate 10 is 75 miles per hour. how many meters per second is this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h2>33.53m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 as 75 miles per hour, to get the speed in meter per seconds, we need to convert the given speed to meter per seconds.

Using the conversion 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

75 miles perhour = 75miles/1 hour

75miles/1 hour (in m/s) = 75miles*1609.34m* 1 hour/1mile * 1 hour * 3600s *

= 75 *1609.34m* 1 /1 * 1 * 3600s

= 120,700.5m/3600s

= 33.53m/s

<em>Hence the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 in metre per seconds is 33.53m/s</em>

A girl throws a ball of mass 0.8 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 11 m/s, and it bounce
Karolina [17]

Answer:

F = 352 N

Explanation:

we know that:

F*t = ΔP

so:

F*t = MV_f-MV_i

where F is the force excerted by the wall, t is the time, M the mass of the ball, V_f the final velocity of the ball and V_i the initial velocity.

Replacing values, we get:

F(0.05s) = (0.8 kg)(11m/s)-(0.8 kg)(-11m/s)

solving for F:

F = 352 N

olga55 [171]

Answer:

A). A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.

Explanation:

Scientists decided to change the model of the atom when they discovered new evidence that showed 'few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.' On this ground, <u>Rutherford concluded that atom is mostly made up of empty space and thus, he proposed a nucleus model of atom in which the atom comprises of the tiny and positively charged nucleus is surrounded by electrons with a negative charge</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:

\fbox{strength  \: of \:  the \:  other \:  charge  =  - 0.0196 Ke \: Coulomb}

Explanation:

Given:

Force between pair of charges= 900 newtons

The distance between the charges = 0.01 meters

Strength of Charge first q1 = 2e-10 Coulomb

To find:

Strength of Charge second q2 = ____ Coulomb?

Solution:

We know that,

Force between two charges separate by distance r is given by the equation,

|F| =  K_e \frac{q1 \cdot \: q2}{ {r}^{2} }  \\ 900 =K_e  \frac{(2e - 10)\cdot \: q2}{ {0.01}^{2} } \\ 900 \times  {10}^{ - 4}  =  K_e {(2e - 10)\cdot \: q2} \\ q2 =   \frac{9 \times  {10}^{ - 2} }{(2e - 10) K_e}  \\  \\  \fbox{We \:  know \:  that \:  e = 2.71 } \\  substituting \: the \: value \: \\ q2 =  \frac{9 \times  {10}^{ - 2} }{(2 \times 2.71 - 10)K_e}  \\ q2 =  \frac{0.09}{ - 4.58 K_e}  \\ q2 =  \frac{-0.0196}{K_e}\: coulomb

\fbox{strength  \: of \:  the \:  other \:  charge  =  - 0.0196 Ke \: Coulomb}

A train is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s. when the brakes are applied the acceleration is reduced to -0.6 m/s².calculate the
Serhud [2]

Answer:

x = 333.33 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2}-(2*a*x)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 20 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 0.6 [m/s^2]

x = distance [m]

Note: the final speed is zero as the body finishes its movement.

Now replacing:

0 = (20)^2 - (2*0.6*x)

1.2*x = 400

x = 333.33 [m]
