Answer:

(a) 3.23×10⁸ N/m²

(b)  1.46×10⁻³

(c) 2.21×10¹¹ N/m²

Explanation:

(a) Stress = Force/Area.

Stress = F/A................ Equation 1

But,

F = mg................. Equation 2

Where m = mass, and g = acceleration due to gravity

A = πd²/4................. Equation 3

d = diameter of the circular cross section.

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

Stress = 4mg/πd²............. Equation 4

Given: m = 25.4 kg, d = 0.555 mm = 0.000555 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s², π = 3.142

Substitute these values into equation 4

Stress = 4(25.4)(9.8)/(3.142×0.00555²)

Stress = 995.68/(3.08×10⁻⁶)

Stress = 3.23×10⁸ N/m²

(b)

Strain = ΔL/L.............. Equation 5

Where ΔL = extension, L = Length.

Given: ΔL = 1.1 mm = 0.0011 m, L = 75.1 cm = 0.751 m

Substitute into equation 5

Strain = 0.0011/0.751

Strain = 1.46×10⁻³.

(c)

Young modulus = Stress/Strain

Young modulus = 3.23×10⁸/ 1.46×10⁻³

Young modulus = 2.21×10¹¹ N/m²

A 50.0-kg block is being pulled up a 16.0° slope by a force of 250 n that is parallel to the slope. the coefficient of kinetic
Drupady [299]
When dealing with multiple forces acting on a body, it is advisable to draw a free-body diagram like that shown in the picture. There are four forces acting on the box: weight (W) pointing straight down, normal force perpendicular to the slope denoted as Fn, force used to push the box upwards along the slope and the frictional force acting opposite to the direction of motion of the box denoted as Ff. Frictional force is equal to coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) multiplied with Fn.

∑Fy = Fn - mgcos30° = 0
           Fn = (50)(9.81)(cos 16) = 471.5 N

When in motion, the net force is equal to mass times acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

Fnet = F - μk*Fn - mgsin30° = ma
          250 - (0.2)(471.5 N) - (50)(sin 16°) = (50)(a)
          a = 2.84 m/s²

1. Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

1. Upon analysis of the results, a hypothesis can be rejected or modified, but it can never be proven to be correct 100 percent of the time. For example, relativity has been tested many times, so it is generally accepted as true, but there could be an instance, which has not been encountered, where it is not true.

2.Mass is the amount of matter in a body, normally measured in grams or kilograms etc. Weight is a force that pulls on a mass and is measured in Newtons. So on Earth, Weight would be your (mass x acceleration( 9.8 ) . Density, there are lots of kinds of density I guess, but the one you are talking about is density = mass / volume. Density basically means how much mass is occupied in a specific volume or space. Different materials of the same size may have different masses because of its density. Density in this case is measured in kg / m^3 or kg / L or g / m^3 etc where the numerator is a unit of mass and the denominator a unit of volume.

3.The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

4.  An object will float if the gravitational (downward) force is less than the buoyancy (upward) force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float.

A ball rolls from x=3.85m to x=22.1m in 5 seconds. What was its average velocity
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Average Velocity = 3.65 m/s

Explanation:

Average Velocity  =\frac{Total   Displacement}{Total     Time} =\frac{22.1-3.85}{5}=\frac{18.25}{5}=3.65

When the two surfaces of a thin film are parallel and the light is incident at some angle what fringes are formed? A. Circular B
lord [1]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Circular

Explanation:

Some of the light that impinges on the surface are reflected and the rest are transmitted to a different medium

At the surface of the next medium also, some of the light are transmitted while the others are reflected and refracted through the first medium

The speed of light (and hence the wavelength and color) refracted through the thin film is changed as the distance the refracted light travels through the thin film is increased as we move away from the point directly in the front view to some distance as the reflected light path from those distance to the eye is increased due to their inclination giving them a different wavelength which are all equal at a radial distance from the eye hence forming a circular fringes.
