Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

Maximum Tension is $T=10.0N$

Generally making $(m/l)$ subject from the equation mathematically we have

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

$v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}$

$(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}$

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

A 30-mm-diameter copper rod is 1 m long with a yield strength of 70 MPa. Determine the axial force necessary to cause the diamet

ivolga24 [154]

Explanation:

Given data:

d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

L = 1m

S $_{y}$ = 70 Mpa

Δd = -0.0001d

Axial force = ?

validity of elastic deformation assumption.

Solution:

O'₂ = Δd/d = (-0.0001d)/d = -0.0001

For copper,

v = 0.326 E = 119×10³ Mpa

O'₁ = O'₂/v = (-0.0001)/0.326 = 306×10⁶

∵δ = F.L/E.A and σ = F/A so,

σ = δ.E/L = O'₁ .E = (306×10⁻⁶).(119×10³) = 36.5 MPa

F = σ . A = (36.5 × 10⁻⁶) . (π/4 × (0.03)²) = 25800 KN

S $_{y}$ = 70 MPa > σ = 36.5 MPa

∵ elastic deformation assumption is valid.

so the answer is

F = 25800 K N and S $_{y}$ > σ

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by: $W= m*g$

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

Therefore,

$m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}$

$m_{1} = 1478.08 kg$

Similarly,

$m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}$

$m_{2} = 489.29 kg$

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }$

G= gravitational constant ( $6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ )

$m_{1} , m_{2}$ = masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

Answer:

<em>The average speed is 22.2 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Average Speed</u>

Given an object travels a total distance d and took a total time t, then the average speed is:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{d}{t}$
