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

Which scale has 100 divisions from when the temperature when water freezes to the temperature when water boils
Westkost [7]
The Celsius scale (^{\circ} C).

In the Celsius temperature scale, the temperature at which water freezes is set conventionally at 0^{\circ}C, while the temperature at which the water boils is set at 100^{\circ}C. The Celsius degree is then defined as the unit corresponding to 1/100 of this time interval, between the temperature of freezing and boiling of the water.

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J

Which of the following statements is correct?
Dafna11 [192]
These are the correct solutions:

It is 11 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone; therefore, it is 8 a.m. in the Pacific Time Zone. (3 hrs behind)

It is 3 p.m. in the Central Time Zone; therefore, 2 p.m. in the Mountain Time Zone. (1 hr behind)

It is 6 p.m. in the Pacific Time Zone; therefore, it is 4 p.m in Hawaii. (2 or 3 hours behind depending on time of year)

It is 6 p.m. in Hawaii; therefore, it is 11 p.m. in the Eastern Time Zone (5 or 6 hours behind depending on time of year).

It is 3 p.m. in Hawaii; therefore, it is 6 p.m. in the Mountain Time Zone (3 or 4 hours behind depending on time of year).

Answer these questions plz​
lozanna [386]

1. The property of a conductor by virtue of which it posses the flow of electric current through it is called resistance.

2. The resistance of a conductor depends on the cross sectional area of the conductor and it's resistivity.

3.This id due to the fact that the resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its diameter.

4.Due to at high temperatures , the alloy donot oxidize. Alloy doesn't melt readily and get deformed.
