In the absence of air resistance, a ball is thrown vertically upward with a certain initial KE. When air resistane is a factor a
Ber [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a certain Kinetic Energy in the absence of air resistance and while returning it experiences air resistance.

Air resistance causes the ball to lose its kinetic energy as it provides resistance which will convert some of its kinetic energy to heat energy.

So in a way total energy is conserved but not kinetic energy as some portion of it is lost in the form of heat.

An 850-lb force is applied to a 0.15-in. diameter nickel wire having a yield strength of 45,000 psi and a tensile strength of 55
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a)Yes will deform plastically

b) Will NOT experience necking

Explanation:

Given:

- Applied Force F = 850 lb

- Diameter of wire D = 0.15 in

- Yield Strength Y=45,000 psi

- Ultimate Tensile strength U = 55,000 psi

Find:

a) Whether there will be plastic deformation

b) Whether there will be necking.

Solution:

Assuming a constant Force F, the stress in the wire will be:

                       stress = F / Area

                       Area = pi*D^2 / 4

                       Area = pi*0.15^2 / 4 = 0.0176715 in^2

                       stress = 850 / 0.0176715

                       stress = 48,100.16 psi

      Yield Strength < Applied stress > Ultimate Tensile strength

                        45,000 < 48,100 < 55,000

Hence, stress applied is greater than Yield strength beyond which the wire will deform plasticly but insufficient enough to reach UTS responsible for the necking to initiate. Hence, wire deforms plastically but does not experience necking.

The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of
sdas [7]

Answer:

A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Final velocity (V) = 0

Time (t) =?

Initial velocity (U) =?

A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.

Let us obtain an express for time (t)

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)

a = V/t

Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)

V = s/t

a = s/t^2

Cross multiply

a x t^2 = s

Divide both side by a

t^2 = s/a

Take the square root of both side

t = √(s/a)

Now we can obtain the time as follow

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Time (t) =..?

t = √(s/a)

t = √(256/26)

t = 3.14 secs

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.

V = U + at

Final velocity (V) = 0

Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2

Time (t) = 3.14 sec

Initial velocity (U) =.?

0 = U – 26x3.14

0 = U – 81.64

Collect like terms

U = 81.64 ft/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

Okay i'm totally stuck and nobody I know really gets it either, so i've turned to Yahoo for help :)
OlgaM077 [116]

Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:

                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.

That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.

       (Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).


So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:

<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.

       (400) x (1)  =    (200) x (2)

<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.

       (200) x (1)  =    (100) x (2)

<u>#3).</u>

On one side:  (300 N) in the end-seat       (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>

On the other side:
                      (400 N) in the middle-seat  (400) x (1) = 400
           and     (100 N) in the end-seat      (100) x (2) = 200
                                                    Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u> 


These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.
