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>

Answer:

Total internal reflection is going on. The refractive index of water is about 1.3, so sin 90/sin r=1/sinr=1.3. So the fish can only see objects outside the water within about 50 degrees of the vertical

Calculate the work against gravity required to build the right circular cone of height 4 m and base of radius 1.2 m out of a lig
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Work done = 35467.278 J

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the cone = 4m

radius (r) of the cone = 1.2m

Density of the cone = 600kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Now,

The total mass of the cone (m) = Density of the cone × volume of the cone

Volume of the cone = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

thus,

volume of the cone = \frac{1}{3}\pi 1.2^2\times 4 = 6.03 m³

therefore, the mass of the cone = 600 Kg/m³ × 6.03 m³ = 3619.11 kg

The center of mass for the cone lies at the \frac{1}{4}times the total height

thus,

center of mass lies at,  h' = \frac{1}{4}\times4=1m

Now, the work gone (W) against gravity is given as:

W = mgh'

W = 3619.11kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1 = 35467.278 J

A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

E_e = E_k

kx^2/2 = mv^2/2

120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2

15 = 0.75v^2

v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20

v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s
