Comic-book superheroes are sometimes able to punch holes through steel walls. (a) If the ultimate shear strength of steel is tak

en to be 2.50 x 108 Pa, what force is required to punch through a steel plate 2.00 cm thick? Assume the superhero’s fist has cross-sectional area of 1.00 x 102 cm2 and is approximately circular. (b) Qualitatively, what would happen to the superhero on delivery of the punch? What physical law applies?

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

shear stress is the measure of the material's resistance to cause "sliding" motion of its layers. 
<span>Since the hero has to take a cylindrical piece of metal out, the area which will cause this force is 2*pi*r*l (put r and l in SI units to get answer in Newtons) </span>
<span>so the force required is shear strength into this area (2.60109 * 2 * pi * r * l) </span>

When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil
Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

2t = 2\lambda_{film}

t = \lambda_{film}

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Combining the results of all steps we get

t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Rearranging, we find

\lambda_{vacuum} = tn

\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)

\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm

There are many ways to lose weight, but a sustainable plan generally involves behavior modification related to diet and exercise
Anna007 [38]

The answer is adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients.

Explanation:

Despite that adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients is one of the best strategy to reducing weight, most time it is very difficult for those that want to reduce or control their weight to discipline themselves enough to follow these routine. But one an individual that want to loose weight or live a healthy lifestyle is able to follow these procedures he/she will surely loose weight.

The power in an electrical circuit is given by the equation P = I2R, where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation: Here we have given a direct equation . There for no need to worry .

P = I²×R

P = (12)² ×100

P = 14400W = 14.4 kW

For second one

P = I² ×R

200 = I²×150

I = √200/150

I = 1.15 A
