Answer:

B. It is a change in velocity over a time period

Explanation:

Take into account that velocity is a vector quantity, so a change of it can be a change in magnitude (like in a vehicle which moves in a straight line an accelerates from 25 mph to 40 mph), or direction (like a vehicle describing a circular motion at 25 mph which receive a centripetal acceleration), or even a combination of both.

A 5592 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 3.79 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 30.1 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
otez555 [7]

Answer:

10628.87 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Force applied =F=5592 N

\theta=30.1^{\circ}

Displacement=D=3.79 m

We have to find the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate.

Work done=F\times displacement

The perpendicular component of force=FSin\theta=5592sin(30.1)=2804.45N

Work done =Fsin\theta\times D=2804.45\times 3.79=10628.87 J

Hence, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate=10628.87 J

A steel bridge is 1000 m long at -20°C in winter. What is the change in length when the temperature rises to 40°C in summer? The
xenn [34]

Answer:

ΔL = 0.66 m

Explanation:

The change in length on an object due to rise in temperature is given by the following equation of linear thermal expansion:

ΔL = αLΔT

where,

ΔL = Change in Length of the bridge = ?

α = Coefficient of linear thermal expansion = 11 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

L = Original Length of the Bridge = 1000 m

ΔT = Change in Temperature =  Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 40°C - (-20°C) = 60°C

Therefore,

ΔL = (11 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹)(1000 m)(60°C)

<u>ΔL = 0.66 m</u>

A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight
Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is  7.61 x 10⁻⁶  

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

  • m is mass supported by the steel
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

  • E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

  • ΔL is change in length
  • L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m
