Compare and contrast tension,compression and extension

Physics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago
8 0
In physical science, tension can be described as the motion that applies a pulling force that is transmitted axially through cables, chains, or string. On the other hand, compression is the application of balanced inward forces while extension is the application of balanced outward forces in the same axis through the object.

Driving on asphalt roads entails very little rolling resistance, so most of the energy of the engine goes to overcoming air resi
Bad White [126]
A) Agreed. 
<span>b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). </span>

<span>c) Here's one method... </span>

<span>15 miles = 24140 m </span>

<span>1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. </span>

<span>So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J </span>

<span>Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J </span>

<span>Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J </span>

<span>So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. </span>

<span>Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied </span>
<span>= 1000/5800 </span>
<span>= 0.17 (=17%) </span>

An object has a mass of 30 grams and measures 3cmx2cmx1cm. What is the density of the object?
dimulka [17.4K]
The density of the object is the ratio of its mass and volume. From the given dimensions above, we determine the volume through the equation,

      V = L x W x H

Substituting,

    V = (3 cm)(2 cm)(1 cm) = 6 cm³

From the idea presented above,
    d = m/V

Substituting the known values,

   d = (30 g)/ (6 cm³) = 5 g/cm³

ANSWER: 5 g/cm³

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

En un m.A.S. La amplitud tiene un valor de 10 centimetros y el periodo es de 2 segundos calcular el valor de la velocidad de 0.8
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

v1=18.46m/s

v2=29.8cm/s

Explanation:

We know that

A=10cm\\T=2s

the equation of the motion is

x=Acos(\omega t)\\

we can calculate w by using

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2}=\pi

Hence, we have that

x=10cm*cos(\pi t)\\

the speed will be

v=-\omega*Asin(\omega t)\\|v(0.8)|=|\pi*10cm*sin(\pi *0.8)|=18.46\frac{cm}{s}\\|v(1.4)|=|\pi*10cm*sin(\pi *1.4)|=29.8\frac{cm}{s}

hope this helps!
