<h2>Height of cylinder = 679.70 m</h2>

Explanation:

Compression strength = 1.7 x 10⁷ Pa

Normal force = Compression strength x Area

Radius = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Area of cylinder = π x 0.46² = 0.665 m²

Normal force =  1.7 x 10⁷ x 0.665 = 1.13 x 10⁷ N

So weight of cylinder = 1.13 x 10⁷ N

Density of concrete = 25 kN/m³ = 25000 N/m³

Volume of cylinder = Base area x Height = 0.665 x h

Weight of cylinder = 25000 x 0.665 x h

Equating

            25000 x 0.665 x h = 1.13 x 10⁷

                   h = 679.70 m

Height of cylinder = 679.70 m

Kinetic Energy =  (1/2) mv^2.

m = 57.7 g = 57.7/1000 = 0.00577 kg.
v = 325 m/s.

E = 0.5 * 0.00577 * 325^ 2.    Use your calculator.

E = 304.728125  J.

That's the kinetic energy.

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m

The position of the person will be 2.5 m

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object m=2\ kg

Speed of object u=5\ m/s

Mass of object at rest M=3\ kg

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s

Initial kinetic energy

k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J

Final kinetic energy

k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

Atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of
wolverine [178]
<h2>Answer: protons and neutrons. </h2>

The atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of protons and neutrons.

The nucleus of an atom has very small dimensions. However, it <u>occupies its central part and concentrates more than 99% of its total mass. </u>

It is in the nucleus that the protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge) are found.
