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

Calculate ine gravitational potential energy of the ball using pe=m×g×h.(use g=9.8 n/kg)
Neko [114]

Answer:

58.8J

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Mass of ball  = 4kg

Height above the floor  = 1.5m

g  = 9.8n/kg

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

  Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

  Potential energy  = 4 x 9.8 x 1.5  = 58.8J

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to speed 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s .Find the distance the car travel during this time .​
kirill [66]

Answer:

<em>The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It occurs when an object changes its velocity at the same rate thus the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

Solving [1] for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Substituting the given data vo=0, vf=6.6 m/s, t=6.5 s:

\displaystyle a=\frac{6.6-0}{6.5}

a = 1.015\ m/s^2

The distance is now calculated with [2]:

\displaystyle x=0*6.5+\frac{1.015*6.5^2}{2}

x = 21.45 m

The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m

How long does it take to drive from one end of california to the other?
evablogger [386]

California is the third largest state and the only two bigger states than California are Alaska and Texas so it really depends on how you want to cross it. There are two routes to cross California depending on how you plan your visit and places you need to see. Depending on the route you take crossing California can take from twelve to almost sixteen hours of drive.
