Answer:

392 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The total mass of the cabin and the passengers = 800 kg

The vertical distance between B and C is 50 m.

We need to find the increase of gravitational potential energy of the cabin and passengers when they move from B to C. It can be given by the relation as follows :

$E=mgh\\\\E=800\times 9.8\times 50\\\\E=392000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=392\ kJ$

So, the increase in gravitational potential energy is 392 kJ.

A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s r

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

There's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Shear Modulus;E = 207 GPa = 207 × 10^(9) N/m²

Force;F = 60000 N.

Poisson’s ratio; υ =0.30

We are told width is 20 mm and thickness 40 mm.

Thus;

Area = 20 × 10^(-3) × 40 × 10^(-3)

Area = 8 × 10^(-4) m²

Now formula for shear modulus is;

E = σ/ε_z

Where σ is stress given by the formula Force(F)/Area(A)

While ε_z is longitudinal strain.

Thus;

E = (F/A)/ε_z

ε_z = (F/A)/E

ε_z = (60,000/(8 × 10^(-4)))/(207 × 10^(9))

ε_z = 3.62 × 10^(-4)

Now, formula for lateral strain is;

ε_x = - υ × ε_z

ε_x = -0.3 × 3.62 × 10^(-4)

ε_x = -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Now, change in width is given by;

Δw = w_o × ε_x

Where w_o is initial width = 20 × 10^(-3) m

So; Δw = 20 × 10^(-3) × -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Δw = -2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Negative means the width decreased.

So there's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

A horizontal force of 400 N is exerted on a 2.0-kg ball as it rotates (at

frutty [35]

Answer:

the speed of the ball is 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of exerted force, F = 400 N

mass of the ball, m = 2 kg

radius of the circle, r = 0.5

The speed of the ball is calculated by applying centripetal force formula;

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = \frac{Fr}{m}\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{Fr}{m}}\\\\ v = \sqrt{\frac{400*0.5}{2}}\\\\v = 10 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the ball is 10 m/s
