Explanation:
Elongation of the wire is:
ΔL = F L₀ / (E A)
where F is the force,
L₀ is the initial length,
E is Young's modulus,
and A is the cross sectional area.
ΔL = T (0.5 m) / ((2.0×10¹¹ Pa) (0.02 cm²) (1 m / 100 cm)²)
ΔL = T (1.25×10⁻⁶ m/N)
T = (80,000 N/m) ΔL
Draw a free body diagram of the mass at the bottom of the circle. There are two forces: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.
Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:
∑F = ma
T − mg = mv²/r
T − mg = mω²r
T − (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (15 kg) (2 rev/s × 2π rad/rev)² (0.5 m + ΔL)
T − 147 N = (2368.7 N/m) (0.5 m + ΔL)
Substitute:
(80,000 N/m) ΔL − 147 N = (2368.7 N/m) (0.5 m + ΔL)
(80,000 N/m) ΔL − 147 N = 1184.35 N + (2368.7 N/m) ΔL
(797631.3 N/m) ΔL = 1331.35 N
ΔL = 0.00167 m
ΔL = 1.67 mm
C. Electromagnetic waves don't always need a medium to travel. Note that they do vary in wavelength and frequency however their speed is fixed. Also, EM waves are always transverse and they consist of vibrating electric and magnetic fields.
Answer:
Nothing is more important to us on Earth than the Sun. Without the Sun's heat and light, the Earth would be a lifeless ball of ice-coated rock. The Sun warms our seas, stirs our atmosphere, generates our weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth.
