60 minutes = 1h
500/x = 10/100
She swam 5 kilometers per hour.

How do mass and speed affect kinetic energy?

Lunna [17]

The mass affects the kinetic energy because the more the mass the more energy is given to the object and the speed affects by making it go faster and longer, so whenever speed goes up so does energy.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th

Answer: The Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Explanation:

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

$Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}$

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight = $m\times g$

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.81m/s^2$

l = length of wire = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section = $\pi r^2$

r = radius of the wire = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m$ (Conversion factor: 1 m = 1000 mm)

$\Delta l$ = change in length = 1.99 mm = $1.99\times 10^{-3}m$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$
