Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

mart [117]

Answer:

331.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 100m/s

Acceleration  = 50m/s²

Distance  = 1km   = 1000m

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to apply the right motion equation shown below;

     v²  = u²  + 2aS

 v is the final velocity

 u is the initial velocity

 a is the acceleration

 S is the distance

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

     v² = 100² + (2 x 50 x 1000)

     v² = 110000

     v = √110000  = 331.7m/s

Svetlanka [38]
The angle between the string and the vertical is computed by:
Centripetal acceleration Ac = V²/R = 18²/75 = 4.32 m/s² horizontal 
Gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s² down 

Θ = arctan(Ac/g)
= arctan (4.32m/s^2 / 9.8 m/s^2)
= 23.79° is the answer.

8-14 A Cu-30% Zn alloy tensile bar has a strain-hardening coefficient of 0.50. The bar, which has an initial diameter of 1 cm an
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The true stress at true strain 0.05cm/cm is 80MPa

Explanation:

Given that

the strength coefficient is K

true strain is ε

strain hardening exponent is n

initial diameter of bar is d = 1cm, (10mm)

tensile force is F

engineering stress(S) = 120

the engineering stress(S) = \frac{F}{\frac{\pi }{4}(d^2) }

To find force (F) =

                    120 = \frac{F}{\frac{\pi }{4}(100^{2} )}

                     F = 120 * (π/4) * (100)

                     F = 9425N

Calculate the true strain  (ε) = In (l₀ / l₁)

where

l₀ =  initial length of the metallic bar = 3cm

l₁ = final length of metallic bar = 3.5cm

ε = In (3.5 / 3)

  = In 1.1667

  = 0.154cm/cm

Calculate the true stress (σ) at fracture point

          = \frac{F}{\frac{\pi }{4}(d^2) }}

tensile force is F and final diameter of bar is d₁ (d in the eqn)

Substitute 9425 N for F and 0.926 cm (9.26mm) for d₁ (d in the eqn)

σ = \frac{9425}{\frac{\pi }{4}(9.26^2) }}

   = 140MPa

To find the strength coefficient (K) of the material bar

K = \frac{140}{\sqrt{0.154} }

K = \frac{140}{0.3925}

   = 356.75MPa

To calculate the true stress σ true strain of 0.05cm/cm

K  = 356.75MPa

σ = 356.75(0.05)^0^.^5

  = 356.75 ( 0.2236)

  = 80MPa

The true stress at true strain 0.05cm/cm is 80MPa

If a 90 kg hockey player slows from 18 m/s to 12 m/s over 0.6 s, what is the force exerted by his skates on the ice? A. -540 N B
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

B. -900 kg-m/s2

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the acceleration of the hockey player, which is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 12 m/s is the final speed

u = 18 m/s is the initial speed

t = 0.6 s is the time

Substituting into the formula, we find

a=\frac{12 m/s-18 m/s}{0.6 s}=-10 m/s^2

And now we can calculate the force exerted by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where m=90 kg is the mass of the hockey player. Substituting into the formula, we find

F=(90 kg)(-10 m/s^2)=-900 N
