A copper rod of crosssectional area 0.500 cm2 and length 1.00 m is elongated by 2.00 * 10-2 mm and a steel rod of the same cross

-sectional area but 0.100 m in length is elongated by 2.00 * 10-3 mm. Which rod is under greater tensile strain?

Answer:

<h3>They have the same tensile strain</h3>

Explanation:

Strain of a material is the ratio of its extension to its original length.

strain = e/lo

e is the extension

lo is the original length

For a copper rod;

e = 2.00 * 10^-2mm

lo = 1.00m

convert 1.00m to mm

1.00m = 1*10^-3mm

get the strain

Strain = 2.00 * 10^-2mm/1*10^-3mm

Strain = 2 * 10^{-2+3}

Strain = 2*10^1 = 20

For the steel

e = 2.00 * 10^-3mm

lo = 0.100m

convert 0.100m to mm

0.1m = 0.1*10^-3mm

0.1m = 10^-4mm

get the strain

Strain = 2.00 * 10^-3mm/10^-4mm

Strain = 2 * 10^{-3+4}

Strain = 2*10^1 = 20

Since the value of their strain are the same, this means that they a re under the SAME tensile strain. No one is greater that the other.

What happens to a satellite that slows down?
Bess [88]

Two things can happen to <u>old satellites</u>: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.
