Complete question is;

A force stretches a wire by 0.60 mm. A second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

a) How far will it be stretched by the same force?

b) A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force?

Answer:

0.15 mm

Explanation:

According to Hooke's Law,

E = Stress(σ)/Strain(ε)

Where E is youngs modulus

Formula for stress is;

Stress(σ) = Force(F)/Area(A)

Formula for strain is;

Strain(ε) = Change in length/original length = (Lf - Li)/Li

We are also told that a second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

Thus;

Rearranging Hooke's Law to get the constants on one side, we have;

F/(AE) = ε

Thus from the conditions given;

ε1 = 0.6/Li

ε2 = (Change in length)/(2*Li)

And ε1 = ε2

Thus;

0.6/Li = Change in length/(2*Li)

Li will cancel out and we now have;

Change in length = 2 × 0.6 = 1.2 mm

Finally, we are told A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first.

Area of a circle;A1 = πd²/4

Now, we are told d is doubled.

Thus, new area of the new circle is;

A2 = π(2d)²/4 = πd²

Rearranging Hooke's Law,we have;

F/A = εE

Since F and E are now constants, we have;

F/E = constant = Aε

Thus;

A1(ε1) = A2(ε2)

A1 = πd²/4

e1 = 0.60/Li

A2 = πd²

e2 = Change in length/Li

Thus;

((πd²/4) × 0.6)/Li = (πd² × Change in length)/ Li

Rearranging, Li and πd² will cancel out to give;

0.6/4 = Change in length

Change in length = 0.15 mm

What is the conclusion of coin and feather experiment? ​
valina [46]

Answer:

So the conclusion is that in presence of air net force acting downward reduces for feather and hence falls slower than coin. But in absence of air resistance, net downward force is just equal to force due to gravity which is same for both coin and feather and hence they fall down at the same rate.

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

netineya [11]
This statement is false.
The correct statement would be,
"W<span>hen you approach an intersection and see a truck ahead signaling a right turn, you should stay behind the truck, away from the curbside, until the turn is completed."

Larger vehicles require a larger space to turn, being next to the truck and close to the curbside will only make it more difficult for the truck driver to complete the turn. This in turn will waste more time or even block traffic while the truck driver tries to complete the turn in the difficult situation that could have easily been avoided.</span>

You leave on a 450 miles trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 hours after you begin your trip. Along the way y
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

c. 2.6 h

Explanation:

The longest time spent over dinner is the time that you have available minus the minimum possible time spent in the trip.

The time of the trip is found using:

t = \frac{d}{v}

Where distance is d and velocity is v. The time will be minimum at maximum velocity. Replacing with the data we have:

Ttrip = \frac{450}{55} = 8.1818 h

Tdinner = 10.8h - 8.1818 h = 2.6181h

that aproximates 2.6 h.
