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 kind of change is it when a liquid turns into a gas by boiling????????????????????
elixir [45]
It is called vaporization. Vaporization is the phase transition from a liquid to a gas by means of evaporation or boiling. Evaporation occurs at temps below the boiling point and occurs on the liquids surface. Boiling is a rapid vaporization that occurs above the boiling temp and below or at the liquids surface.

Match the organisms to the descriptions.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Lacks colored blood - Scorpion

Soft, unsegmented body - Octopus

A vertebrate - Bird

Lacks antennae - Starfish

Explanation:

Scorpion belongs to the Phylum Arthropoda of the Kingdom Animalia. All the organisms of this phylum lack coloured blood.

Octopus comes under the Phylum Molusca of the Kingdom Animalia. Soft, unsegmented body is the property of the organisms of this phylum.

Bird belongs to the Vertebrata class of the Phylum Chordata of Kingdom Animalia.

Starfish belongs to Echinodermata Phylum of the Kingdom Animalia. The organisms of this category do not posses antennae.
