Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.

Its unit is N/m².

The formula for the Young's modulus is given by

Y=\frac{F \times L}{A\times \delta L}

where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.

It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.

The red giant Betelgeuse has a surface temperature of 3000 K and is 600 times the diameter of our sun. (If our sun were that lar
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Radius of the sun = .69645 x 10⁹ m .

600 times = 600 x .69645 x 10⁹ m

= 4.1787 x 10¹¹ m .

surface area A = 4π (4.1787 x 10¹¹)²

= 219.317 x 10²²

energy radiated E = σ A Τ⁴

= 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ x 219.317 x 10²² x (3000)⁴

= 100695 x 10²⁶ J

To know the wavelength of photon emitted

\lambda_mT= b

\lambda_m= \frac{b}{T}

= 2.89777 x 10⁻³ / 3000

= 966 nm

= 1275 /966 eV

1.32 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.112 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

No of photons radiated = 100695 x 10²⁶ / 2.112 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 47677.5 x 10⁴⁵

= .476 x 10⁵⁰ .

b )

energy radiated by our sun per second

E₂ = σ A 5800⁴

energy radiated by Betelgeuse per second

E₁ = σ  x 600²A x  3000⁴

E₁ / E₂  = σ  x 600²A x  3000⁴ / σ A 5800⁴

= 36 X 10⁴ x 3⁴ x 10¹² / 58⁴ x 10⁸

= 25.76 x 10⁸ x 10⁻⁵

= 25760 times .

Checking Up 1. When a spring scale is used to do work pulling a cart to the top of an incline, where has the energy gone when th
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

1. When a spring scale is used to do work pulling a cart to the top of an incline, the elastic energy stored in the spring is converted into gravitational potential energy, since the top of an incline has a certain height.

2. The roller coaster get its gravitational potential energy from the kinetic energy it carries when it moves with a certain velocity.

3. Truckers use a ramp because it is easier to load a truck with less applied force. Although the work required is the same, without the ramp the force that they should apply is much greater, hence more difficult.

W = F_1 \times h\\W = F_2 \times d \times \cos(\theta)

h is greater than (d x cos(Θ)), hence F2 is smaller than F1.

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

mg=200.4 N.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}},

where F is the gravitational force between two masses m_{1} and m_{2}, r is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2}) is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting w_{s} be the weight on the surface:

w_{s}=mg,

mg=8*10^{2},

m=(8*10^{2})/g,

since we now that g=9.8m/s^{2} we get that the mass is

m=81.6kg.

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}},  

where m is the mass of the astronaut and M is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

F=ma,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

F=mg, (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> 9.8m/s^{2} <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}, where mg is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is M=5.972*10^{24}kg and its radius is 6.37*10^{6}m.

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6} meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}},

mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}},

mg=200.4 N.
