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

In some plants, the pistils don’t Form until a few days after the stamens do.How might this keep a plant from self pollinating
KATRIN_1 [288]

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances.

For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stamens mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage   ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

so

current by toaster is

I = \frac{1140}{120}

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = \frac{270}{120}

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = \frac{80}{120}

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A
