Although human beings have been able to fly hundreds of thousands of miles into outer space, getting inside the earth has proven

much more difficult. The deepest mines ever drilled are only about 10 miles deep. To illustrate the difficulties associated with such drilling, consider the following: The density of steel is about 7900 kilograms per cubic meter, and its breaking stress, defined as the maximum stress the material can bear without deteriorating, is about 2.0×1092.0×109 pascals. What is the maximum length of a steel cable that can be lowered into a mine? Assume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity remains constant at 9.8 meters per second per second.
Use two significant figures in your answer, expressed in kilometers.

Answer:

26 km

Explanation:

Let's say our "cable" has a cross section of 1 m²

Then each meter of cable would weight 7900(9.8) = 77420 N

A Pascal is a Newton per square meter

2 x 10⁹ / 77420 = 25840 m or about 26 km or about 16 miles

A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 580 nm and the
vredina [299]

Answer:

a) 9.72 mm

b) 4.86 mm

Explanation:

wave length of light  λ is  580 nm = 580 \times 10⁻⁹ m

Width of slit d = 0.215\times 10⁻³ m

Distance of screen D  = 1.8 m.

Width of one fringe = \frac{\lambda\times D}{d}

Putting the values we get fringe width

= \frac{580\times10^{-9}\times1.8}{.000315}

=4.86 mm.

a) Width of central maxima = 2 times width of one fringe

= 2 times 4.86

=9.72 mm

b) width of each fringe except central fringe  is same , no matter what the order is.Only brightness changes .

So width of either of the two first order bright fringe will be same and it will be  

= 4.86 mm.

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

Consider the following three objects, each of the same mass and radius: (1) a solid sphere (2) a solid disk (3) a hoop All three
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is

a) 1, 2, 3

Explanation:

In rolling down an inclined plane, the potential energy is Transferred to both linear and rotational kinetic energy thus

PE = KE or mgh = 1/2×m×v² + 1/2×I×ω²

The transformation equation fom potential to kinetic energy is =

m×g×h = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} mr^{2} )(\frac{v}{r}) ^{2}

v_{Sphere} = \sqrt{\frac{10}{7} gh}

v_{Hoop} = \sqrt{gh}

v_{Disc}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} gh}

Therefore the order is with increasing rotational kinetic energy hence

the first is the sphere 1 followed by the disc 2 then the hoop 3

the correct order is a, 1, 2, 3
