Answer:

The cable would stretch 14 cm when loaded with 1000 kg ore.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

The complete question would be.

A mine shaft has an ore elevator hung from a single braided cable of diameter 2.5 cm. Young's modulus of elasticity of the cable is 10\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2. When the cable is fully extended, the end of the cable is 700 m below the support.

How much does the fully extended cable stretch when 1000 kg of ore is loaded into the elevator?

Given the diameter of the cable is 2.5\ cm. The length of the cable is 700\ m.

And the mass of the ore is 1000\ kg. Also the Young's modulus of  elasticity of the cable is 10\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2.

We will use Hook's law

\sigma=E\epsilon

Where \sigma is stress. E is Young's modulus of elasticity. And \epsilon is strain.

We can rewrite .

\frac{P}{A}=E\times \frac{\delta l}{l}

Where P is the applied force, A is the area of the cross-section. \delta l is the change in length. l is the initial length of the cable.

Also, the applied force P is due to mass of the ore. That would be P=mg\\P=1000\times 9.81\ N

Given diameter of the cable (d) 2.5\ cm.

d=\frac{2.5}{100}=0.025\ m\\ A=\frac{\pi}{4}d^2\\ \\A=\frac{\pi}{4}(0.025)^2=4.91\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

E=10\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2

l=700\ m

Plugging these values

\frac{P}{A}=E\times \frac{\delta l}{l}

\frac{P}{A}\times \frac{l}{E}=\delta l \\\\ \delta l =\frac{1000\times 9.81\times 700}{4.91\times 10^{-4}\times 10\times 10^{10}} \\\delta l=.139\ m\\\delta l=14\ cm.

So, the cable would stretch 14 cm when loaded with 1000 kg ore.

Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

5.714 hours / day

Explanation:

<u>Calculate the hours used in that week </u>

120000 / 3000 = 120 / 3 = 40 hours a week

<u>Calculate the amount it is used in one day</u>

40 / 7 = 5.71428571 hours or 5.714 hours/day

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil
mrs_skeptik [129]
The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}   \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }
where 
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}
and since we know the constant of the spring:
k=39.5 N/m
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg
