<h2>Solution:</h2><h3>Distance when a = 0.4 m/s²</h3>

Solve for $v_{f1}$

<h3>Distance when a = -0.8 m/s²</h3>

$v_{f2}\:=\:v_{i3}$

$v_{i3}\:=\:24\:m/s$

$\\$

Solve for $v_{f3}$

$a\:=\:\frac{v_f\:-\:v_i}{t}$

$-0.8\:m/s²\:=\:\frac{0\:-\:24\:m/s}{t}$

A Simply supported wood beam with overhang is subjected to uniformly distributed load q. The beam has a rectangular cross sectio

irinina [24]

Answer:

q = 61.71 KN/m

Explanation:

We know that shear force at one end of the beam is;

F = wl/2

Where;

w is the uniformly distributed load and l is the span.

Thus, in this question, q is the distributed load, so;

F = ql/2

Area of beam section = breadth x depth

In this case,

Area = 200 × 250 = 50000 mm²

We are given allowable shear stress of τa=1.8MPa. This can also be written as τa = 1.8 N/mm²

We know that formula for average shear stress is;

τ_avg = Force/Area

Thus, Force = τ_avg x Area

However, we are given maximum allowable shear stress as 1.8and we know that; τ_max = 1.5 × τ_avg

Thus, τ_avg = 1.8/1.5 = 1.2

Hence;

Force = 1.2 × 50,000 = 60000 N

We need

So from the earlier equation F = ql/2,we can get; 60000 = ql/2

ql = 120000 - - - - - (1)

Now, to the bending stress, we know that section modulus of a rectangular section is;

Z = bd²/6

So,for this question, we have;

Z = (200 × 250²)/6

Z = 2083333.33 mm²

Maximum bending moment of a simply supported beam is wl²/8

So,in this case, M = ql²/8

So,formula for maximum bending stress = M/Z

So, plugging in the values, we have ;

σ_max = (ql²/8) / 2083333.33

We are given σ= 14 MPa or 14 N/mm²

Thus;

14 = (ql²/8) / 2083333.33

ql² = 14 × 2083333.33 × 8

ql² = 233333332.96 - - - eq(2)

From equation 1,we saw that;ql = 120000.

Putting this for ql in equation 2,we will get;

120000l = 233333332.96

l = 233333332.96/120000

l = 1944.44 mm

So from eq 1,q = 120000/l

q = 120000/1944.44

q = 61.71 KN/m

Explain the difference, on the basis of the test results, between the ultimate strength and the "true" stress at fracture.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer / Explanation:

On the basis of the test result, Ultimate strength which is mostly known as the ultimate tensile strength is the strength attached to the ability or capacity of a structural element or material used in the test to withstand elongation forces or pull force applied to it.

WHILE,

True stress at fracture can be classified as stress or load associated to the point where yielding or fracture occurred divided by the cross-sectional area at the yield point.

Calculate total hole mobility if the hole mobility due to lattice scattering is 50 cm2 /Vsec and the hole mobility due to ionize

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The total hole mobility is 41.67 cm²/V s

Explanation:

Data given by the exercise:

hole mobility due to lattice scattering = ul = 50 cm²/V s

hole mobility due to ionized impurity = ui = 250 cm²/V s

The total mobility is equal:

$\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{ul} +\frac{1}{ui} \\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{50} +\frac{1}{250} \\u=41.67cm^{2} /Vs$

A beaker is filled to the 500 ml mark with alcohol. What increase in volume (in ml) the beaker contain when the temperature chan

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1.4 mL

Explanation:

Given that:

volume of alcohol $V_0$ = 500

Temperature change ΔT = (30° - 5°)C

=25° C

$\beta_{ alcohol }= 1.12 \times 10^{-4} / ^0C$

The increase in volume ΔV = $\alpha \times V_o \times \Delta T$

$= 500 \times 1.12 \times 10^{-4} / ^0 C\times 25^0 C$

= 1.4 mL
