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

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

T = 60 s

Explanation:

There are 6 poles on the track which are equally spaced

so the angular separation between the poles is given as

\theta = \frac{2\pi}{6}

\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}

so the angular speed of the train is given as

\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}

\omega = \frac{\pi}{30} rad/s

now we have time period of the train given as

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{30}}

T = 60 s

pav-90 [236]

An element can be identified by its unique atomic number. When we look in the periodic table, we find that the element with an atomic number of 9292 is uranium. There is only option containing uranium which also confirms the mass number we found. So, the daughter nucleus of the decay is 234^U.

In an alpha decay, a positively charged particle similar to a helium-4 nucleus gets released from the parent nucleus spontaneously. As the composition suggests, an alpha particle consists of two protons and 2 neutrons. The particle does not travel much, but in short range, it carries the most energy.

It's smart to use the thermal energy provided by the radioactive decay to generate electricity. This allows for a stable supply of power without consuming much space which means the saved space can be used for more scientific equipment.  The alpha particle, structurally equivalent to the nucleus of a helium atom.

What will happen to the current if the voltage is reduced to one half? ​
stira [4]
We use v=IR and assuming the resistance doesn’t change we can also say that the voltage and current (I) are directly proportional which means the voltage also decreases by 1/2
