Hello!

$\large\boxed{F = 100N}$

Use the equation F = m · a (Newton's Second Law) to solve. Substitute in the given values:

F = 5 · 20

F = 100N

What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum? in your own words

Inessa05 [86]

The electromagnetic spectrum is the system of frequencies that show electromagnetic radiation, respective wavelengths, and photon energies. Some examples of frequencies found on the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

A group of students performed a compression experiment where they placed weights on top of a cylinder of material and measured t

kolbaska11 [484]

The material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.

<h3>What is Young's modulus?</h3>

Young's modulus, or the modulus of elasticity in tension or compression, is a mechanical property that measures the tensile or compressive strength of a solid material when a force is applied to it.

<h3>Area of the cylinder</h3>

A = πr²

$A = \pi \times (0.02)^2 = 0.00126 \ m^2$

<h3>Young's modulus of the cylinder</h3>

$E = \frac{stress}{strain} \\\\E = \frac{F/A}{e/l} \\\\E = \frac{Fl}{Ae} \\\\$

Where;

e is extension

When 5 kg mass is applied, the extension = 10 cm - 9.61 cm = 0.39 cm = 0.0039 m.

$E = \frac{(5\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0039} \\\\E = 9.97 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.001 \ GPa$

When the mass is 50 kg,

extension = 10 cm - 7.73 cm = 2.27 cm = 0.0227 m

$E = \frac{(50\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0227} \\\\E = 1.7 \times 10^6 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.002 \ GPa$

The Young's modulus is between 0.001 GPa to 0.002 GPa

Thus, the material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.

if a car has a constant acceleration of 4 m/s^2, starting from rest, how fast is it traveling after 5 seconds?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that one of the equations of motions can be written:

v = u + at, (also see attached for reference)

Where,

v = final speed (we are asked to find this)

u = initial speed = 0 (because it starts from rest)

t = time taken = 5s

We simply substitute the given values into the equation:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4)(5)

v = 20 m/s

How to use unbalanced forces in a sentence

leva [86]

Forces occur in pairs and can be either balanced or unbalanced. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. Unbalanced Forces do cause a change in motion.

Give an example of nonpoint-source pollution

Ket [755]

Nonpoint source pollution is pollution that affects bodies of water, so remembering this can help in the future with this type of question. Some examples of nonpoint source pollution are; Excess fertilizers and herbicides, oil and toxic chemical runoff, as well as sediment from eroding stream banks. I hope this helps :)
