How large a force is necessary to stretch a 4.0-mm-diameter steel wire from its original length by 1.0%?
jekas [21]

The force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

The given parameters include;

  • diameter of the steel, d = 4 mm
  • the radius of the wire, r = 2mm = 0.002 m
  • original length of the wire, L₁
  • final length of the wire, L₂ = 1.01 x L₁ (increase of 1% = 101%)
  • extension of the wire e = L₂ - L₁ = 1.01L₁ - L₁ = 0.01L₁
  • the Youngs modulus of steel, E = 200 Gpa

The area of the steel wire is calculated as follows;

A = \pi r^2\\\\ A= 3.142 \times (0.002)^2\\\\ A= 1.257 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2

The force needed to stretch the wire is calculated from Youngs modulus of elasticity given as;

E = \frac{stress}{strain} = \frac{F/A}{e/L} = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\F = \frac{EAe}{L}

F = \frac{200 \times 10^9\  \times\  1.257\times 10^{-5}\  \times \ 0.01l_1}{l_1} \\\\F = 25,140\ N

Thus, the force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

Explain how soilds non metals are different from solid metals
marysya [2.9K]
Solid metal is all different types of metals or some thing that a magnet can pick up that's a full hard solid

but a non metal is everything not metal that's a solid like plastic a hot glue gun can burn throught plastic and not metal

so in conclusion metal is stronger and thicker than non modal things

For which question could a testable hypothesis be developed?
Mandarinka [93]
I believe it’s B; Theories may be proven to be true and become laws.
A would make sense if we were talking about hypotheses however, we’re not.

An electron is initially moving at 1.4 x 107 m/s. It moves 3.5 m in the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 120 N
algol13

Answer:

K.E = 15.57 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

Explanation:

First, we find the acceleration of the electron by using the formula of electric field:

E = F/q

F = Eq

but, from Newton's 2nd Law:

F = ma

Comparing both equations, we get:

ma = Eq

a = Eq/m

where,

E = electric field intensity = 120 N/C

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = Mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

Therefore,

a = (120 N/C)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)

a = 2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²

Now, we need to find the final velocity of the electron. Using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 1.4 x 10⁷ m/s

s = distance = 3.5 m

Therefore,

(2)(2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²)(3.5 m) = Vf² - (1.4 x 10⁷)²

Vf = √(1.477 x 10¹⁴ m²/s² + 1.96 x 10¹⁴ m²/s²)

Vf = 1.85 x 10⁷ m/s

Now, we find the kinetic energy of electron at the end of the motion:

K.E = (0.5)(m)(Vf)²

K.E = (0.5)(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)(1.85 x 10⁷ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 15.57 x 10⁻¹⁷ J</u>

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 second
Natali5045456 [20]

The feather's vertical position y is determined by

y=\dfrac12g_{\text{moon}}t^2

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

y=\dfrac12\left(1.63\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(9.00\,\mathrm s\right)^2=66.0\,\mathrm m

so the answer is D.
