Answer:

The extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 4.0 kg

length of the aluminum wire, L = 2.0 m

diameter of the wire, d = 2.0 mm

radius of the wire, r = d/2 = 1.0 mm = 0.001 m

The area of the wire is given by;

A = πr²

A = π(0.001)² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The downward force of the object on the wire is given by;

F = mg

F = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N

The Young's modulus of aluminum is given by;

Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\Y = \frac{F/A}{e/L}\\\\Y = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\e = \frac{FL}{AY}

Where;

Young's modulus of elasticity of aluminum = 69 x 10⁹ N/m²

e = \frac{FL}{AY} \\\\e = \frac{(39.2)(2)}{(3.142*10^{-6})(69*10^9)} \\\\e = 0.000362 \ m\\\\e = 0.362 \ mm

Therefore, the extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.

A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back t
baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

My speed after the interaction will depend upon the impulse the ball will make on me . Now impulse can be expressed as follows

Impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum in the ball will be maximum when the ball bounces back with the same velocity which can be shown as follows

change in momentum = mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

So when ball is bounced back with same velocity , it suffers greatest impulse from my hand . In return ,  it reacts with the same impulse on my hand pushing me with greatest impulse according to third law of motion. this maximizes my speed after the interaction.

Who invented the transistor
erma4kov [3.2K]

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.

Some of the earliest work on semiconductor amplifiers emerged from Eastern Europe. In 1922-23 Russian engineer Oleg Losev of the Nizhegorod Radio Laboratory, Leningrad, found that a special mode of operation in a point-contact zincite (ZnO) crystal diode supported signal amplification up to 5 MHz. Although Losev experimented with the material in radio circuits for years, he died in the 1942 Siege of Leningrad and was unable to advocate for his place in history. His work is largely unknown.

Austro-Hungarian physicist, Julius E. Lilienfeld, moved to the US and in 1926 filed a patent for a “Method and Apparatus for Controlling Electric Currents” in which he described a three-electrode amplifying device using copper-sulfide semiconductor material. Lilienfeld is credited with inventing the electrolytic capacitor but there is no evidence that he built a working amplifier. His patent, however, had sufficient resemblance to the later field effect transistor to deny future patent applications for that structure.

<span>German scientists also contributed to this early research. While working at Cambridge University, England in 1934, German electrical engineer and inventor Oskar Heil filed a patent on controlling current flow in a semiconductor via capacitive coupling at an electrode – essentially a field-effect transistor. And in 1938, Robert Pohl and Rudolf Hilsch experimented on potassium-bromide crystals with three electrodes at Gottingen University. They reported amplification of low-frequency (about 1 Hz) signals. None of this research led to any applications but Heil is remembered in audiophile circles today for his air motion transformer used in high fidelity speakers.</span>

Two satellites A and B orbit the Earth in the same plane. Their masses are 5 m and 7 m, respectively, and their radii 4 r and 7
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of A = 5 m

Mass of B = 7 m

Radius of A = 4 r

Radius of B = 7 r

The orbital speed of satellite A,

v_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}......(I)

The orbital speed of satellite B,

v_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}......(I)

We need to calculate the ratio of their orbital speeds

Using equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{G\times5m\times7r}{G\times7m\times4r}}

\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\dfrac{5}{4}

Hence, The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

If the sun had twice the mace how would that affect the gravitational force of the sun
daser333 [38]

Answer:  Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth's surface.

Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet's size and mass determines its gravitational pull.

A planet's mass and size determines how strong its gravitational pull is.

Models can help us experiment with the motions of objects in space, which are determined by the gravitational pull between them.
