An object is moving with a velocity that approaches the speed of light. how does the length of the moving object appear to a sta

tionary observer relative to its rest length?

EVERY moving object appears shorter to a stationary observer. The effect is too small to see unless the object is moving really really fast.

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of?

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

D. Solution

Explanation:

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of solution.

A solution is a homogenous mixture of solutes and solvents.

In a solution the solute particles ae distributed uniformly in the solvents. The solute is the substance and it is the sugar here that is dissolved to make a solution.

The solvent is the water in this instance that helps to dissolve the solute.

Explain the interaction between centripetal force and inertia and what kind of motion this interaction causes.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Inertia is an object's tendency to keep moving in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force. Centripetal force causes an object to constantly change direction, so the combination of centripetal force and inertia causes an object to move in a circle. Hope it helps and your cute by the way

Which has more volume feathers or rocks

Nataly_w [17]

Volume doesn't depend on what the substance is, only on how much of it there is.

Continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite with cross-sectional area of 340 mm2 (0.53 in.2) is subjected to a longitudina

Alecsey [184]

(a) 23.4

The fiber-to-matrix load ratio is given by

$\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{E_f V_f}{E_m V_m}$

where

$E_f = 131 GPa$ is the fiber elasticity module

$E_m = 2.4 GPa$ is the matrix elasticity module

$V_f=0.3$ is the fraction of volume of the fiber

$V_m=0.7$ is the fraction of volume of the matrix

Substituting,

$\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{(131 GPa)(0.3)}{(2.4 GPa)(0.7)}=23.4$ (1)

(b) 44,594 N

The longitudinal load is

F = 46500 N

And it is sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

$F=F_f + F_m$ (2)

We can rewrite (1) as

$F_m = \frac{F_f}{23.4}$

And inserting this into (2):

$F=F_f + \frac{F_f}{23.4}$

Solving the equation, we find the actual load carried by the fiber phase:

$F=F_f (1+\frac{1}{23.4})\\F_f = \frac{F}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=\frac{46500 N}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=44,594 N$

(c) 1,906 N

Since we know that the longitudinal load is the sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

$F=F_f + F_m$ (2)

Using

F = 46500 N

$F_f = 44594 N$

We can immediately find the actual load carried by the matrix phase:

$F_m = F-F_f = 46,500 N - 44,594 N=1,906 N$

(d) 437 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the fiber phase is

$A_f = A V_f$

where

$A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2$ is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting $V_f=0.3$ , we have

$A_f = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.3)=102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

And the magnitude of the stress on the fiber phase is

$\sigma_f = \frac{F_f}{A_f}=\frac{44594 N}{102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=4.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 437 MPa$

(e) 8.0 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the matrix phase is

$A_m = A V_m$

where

$A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2$ is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting $V_m=0.7$ , we have

$A_m = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.7)=238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

And the magnitude of the stress on the matrix phase is

$\sigma_m = \frac{F_m}{A_m}=\frac{1906 N}{238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=8.0\cdot 10^6 Pa = 8.0 MPa$

(f) $3.34\cdot 10^{-3}$

The longitudinal modulus of elasticity is

$E = E_f V_f + E_m V_m = (131 GPa)(0.3)+(2.4 GPa)(0.7)=41.0 Gpa$

While the total stress experienced by the composite is

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}=\frac{46500 N}{340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2}=1.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 0.137 GPa$

So, the strain experienced by the composite is

$\epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}=\frac{0.137 GPa}{41.0 GPa}=3.34\cdot 10^{-3}$
