Explanation:

You would think it should. But remember the Force is also determined by mass. The mass of the earth markes our mass like the smallest part of a mosquito leg. The earth will go on it its merry way without cosidering us at all.

What is Planck’s law?

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The wavelength of the emitted radiation is inversely proportional to its frequency, or λ = c/ν. The value of Planck's constant is defined as 6.62607015 × 10−34 joule∙second.

Explanation:

Planck's quantum theory. According to Planck's quantum theory, Different atoms and molecules can emit or absorb energy in discrete quantities only. The smallest amount of energy that can be emitted or absorbed in the form of electromagnetic radiation is known as quantum.

A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal gauge pressure, p=75 psip=75 psi. It had a wall thickness

Mekhanik [1.2K]

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the longitudinal effort and the effort of the hoop. The effort of the hoop is given as

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

Here,

P = Pressure

d = Diameter

t = Thickness

At the same time the longitudinal stress is given as,

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

The letters have the same meaning as before.

Then he hoop stress would be,

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_h = \frac{75 \times 8}{2\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_h = 1200psi$

And the longitudinal stress would be

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

$\sigma_l = \frac{75\times 8}{4\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_l = 600Psi$

The Mohr's circle is attached in a image to find the maximum shear stress, which is given as

$\tau_{max} = \frac{\sigma_h}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = \frac{1200}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = 600Psi$

Therefore the maximum shear stress in the pressure vessel when it is subjected to this pressure is 600Psi

Jerusha and anavi are working very hard to tend their organic veggie garden when jerusha sees a bunny nibbling on a tender letuc

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Initial Velocity, u = 0 km/s (at rest)

Final Velocity, v = 16 km/s

Time taken, t = 3 sec

acceleration, a = (v - u)/t

= (16 - 0)/3

= 5.33 km/s^2

Explain why the duster accelerates different rates when different surfaces are in contact with the track

vichka [17]

Answer:

Because on different surfaces there's more/less friction. Smooth surfaces will allow the duster to accelerate while rough surfaces will decrease the acceleration.
