Potential energy is
azamat

Answer:

stored in a state of readiness.

Explanation:

Potential energy is stored in a state of readiness.

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

A steel wire of length 1.5 m and diameter 1 mm is joined to an aluminum wire of identical dimensions to make a composite wire of
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1.805 mm

Explanation:

Extension in the steel wire = WL_{steel}/AE_{steel}

Extension in the aluminium wire = WL_{Al}/AE_{Al}

Total extension = W/A * (L_{steel}/E_{steel} + L_{Al}/E_{Al})

we have:

W = mg

W = 5 × 9.8

W = 49 N

Area A = π/4 × (0.001)²

= 7.85398 × 10 ⁻⁷ m²

Total extension = W/A * (L_{steel}/E_{steel} + L_{Al}/E_{Al})

Total extension = 49/ 7.85398 × 10 ⁻⁷ ( (1.5/ 200×10⁹) + 1.5/ 70×10⁹))

Total extension =  0.0018048

Total extension = 1.805 mm

Thus, the total extension = the resulting change in the length of this composite wire = 1.805 mm
