Missing graph. I attach it in the answer.

In a uniformly accelerated motion, the velocity at time t is given by:
$v(t)=at$
where a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Given the previous equation, if we plot v(t) versus t, we find a straight line; moreover, a (the acceleration) represents the slope of the curve.

Looking at the graph, we see that when the time goes from 10 s to 20 s, the velocity increases from 4 m/s to 6 m/s. Therefore the slope of the curve is
$a= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}= \frac{6 m/s-4 m/s}{20 s-10 s}= \frac{2 m/s}{10 s}=0.2 m/s^2$
and this corresponds to the acceleration.

So, the correct answer is 0.2 m/s2.

A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal gauge pressure, p=75 psip=75 psi. It had a wall thickness

Mekhanik [1.2K]

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the longitudinal effort and the effort of the hoop. The effort of the hoop is given as

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

Here,

P = Pressure

d = Diameter

t = Thickness

At the same time the longitudinal stress is given as,

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

The letters have the same meaning as before.

Then he hoop stress would be,

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_h = \frac{75 \times 8}{2\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_h = 1200psi$

And the longitudinal stress would be

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

$\sigma_l = \frac{75\times 8}{4\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_l = 600Psi$

The Mohr's circle is attached in a image to find the maximum shear stress, which is given as

$\tau_{max} = \frac{\sigma_h}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = \frac{1200}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = 600Psi$

Therefore the maximum shear stress in the pressure vessel when it is subjected to this pressure is 600Psi

A swing that is 9.2m long has a child in it who is swinging. what is its period in seconds

Fantom [35]

The child on a swing can be modeled as a simple pendulum. The period of a simple pendulum is given by

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{9.2m}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} } }=6.09s$

A cubic box has a 0.6 cubic decimetre side. Find the mass of air in the box in gram. (1 Liter of air has a mass of 1.3 g).

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The mass of air in the box is 0.78 grams.

Explanation:

A litre equals a cubic decimetre. By definition of density ( $\rho$ ), in grams per litre, we calculate the mass of air inside the cube ( $m$ ), in grams:
