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 car whose total mass is 800kg travelling with a uniform velocity of 20m/s suddenly observes a stationary dog 50m ahead on its
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy will be given by

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.

Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

KE=0.5*800*(20 m/s)^{2}=160,000

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by

Fr=\frac {KE}{d} where d is the distance moved

Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

Fr=\frac {160000}{50}=3200 N

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N

You can think of the work-kinetic energy theorem as the second theory of motion, parallel to Newton's laws in describing how out
kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) 4 289.8 J

b) 4 289.8 J

c) 6 620.1 N

d) 411 186.3 m/s^2

e) 6 620.1 N

Explanation:

Hi:

a)

The kinetic energy of the bullet is given by the following formula:

K = (1/2) m * v^2

With

    m = 16.1 g = 1.61 x 10^-2 kg

     v = 730 m/s

K = 4 289.8 J

b)

the work-kinetic energy theorem states that the work done on a system is the same as the differnce in kinetic energy of the same. Since the initial state of the bullet was at zero velocity (it was at rest)  Ki = 0, therefore:

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki  = 4 289.8 J

c)

The work done by a force is given by the line intergarl of the force along the trayectory of the system (in this case the bullet).

If we consider a constant force (and average net force) directed along the trayectory of the bullet, the work and the force will be realted by:

W = F * L

Where F is the net force and L is the length of the barrel, that is:

F = (4 289.8 J) / (64.8 cm) = (4 289.8 Nm) / (0.648 m) = 6620.1 N

d)

The acceleration can be found dividing the force by the mass:

a = F/m = (6620.1 N) /(16.1 g) = 411 186.3 m/s^2

e)

The force will have a magnitude equal to c) and direction along the barrel towards the exit

tom does not reallt want to give away blue marbles and would like to change the probability that he chooses a blue marble to one
Llana [10]
We don't know how many of ANY color are in the bag right now, so there's no way to calculate an answer.

What Tom has to do is make sure that the number of marbles that are NOT blue is NINE TIMES the number of blue ones in the bag.
