calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end

sdas [7]

Answer: $0.8\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

length of wire $l=75\ cm$

change in length $\Delta l=1.85\ mm$

mass of wire $m=10\ kg$

Young's modulus for silver $E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2$

load on wire $F=mg$

$F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg$

change in length is given by

$\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}$

Where A=area of cross-section

$A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}$

$A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}$

$A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}$

$A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

$A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

$\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }$

$\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}$

$\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

$\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm$

A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the edge of the cliff and hits the ground at the base of the cliff with a speed of 30 m

olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

$v = v_0 -gt$

Here,

v = Final velocity

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

g = Acceleration due to gravity

t = Time

At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)

Therefore the initial velocity will be

$-30 = v_0 -9.8(4)$

$v_0 = 9.2m/s$

Now the position can be calculated as,

$y = h +v_0t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,

$0 = h+(9.2)(4)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4)^2$

$h = 41.6m$

Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground

Please HEEEEELPPPP !!!!!

stepladder [879]

When you rub a balloon on a sweater, for example, some electrons come off and end up on the balloon. The fibers have lost electrons giving them a positive charge. The rubber gained electrons giving it a negative charge. ... The positively charged fibers are now attracted to the negatively charged balloon.

Natalie accelerate her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in 2.5 s. find her average acceleration

Vikentia [17]

Acceleration=(speed end - speed start)/ time
Data:
speed end=4 m/s
speed start=0 m/s
time=2.5 s

acceleration=(4 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.5 s=1.6 m/s²

Answer: the acceleration would be 1.6 m/s²
