Answer:

50.0543248872 ft

Explanation:

F = Load = 20 ton = $20\times 2000\ lb$

d = Diameter = 1.25 in

$L_1$ = Initial length = 50 ft

$L_2$ = Final length

A = Area = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

Y = Young's modulus = $30\times 10^6\ psi$

Young's modulus is given by

$Y=\dfrac{FL}{A\Delta L}\\\Rightarrow Y=\dfrac{FL_1}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2(L_2-L_1)}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{4FL_1}{Y\pi d^2}+L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{4\times 40000\times 50}{30\times 10^6\times \pi\times 1.25^2}+50\\\Rightarrow L_2=50.0543248872\ ft$

The length during the lift is 50.0543248872 ft

Q1 is located at the origin, Q2 is located at x = 2.50 cm and Q3 is located at x = 3.50 cm. Q1 has a charge of +4.92μC and Q3 ha

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$+1.11\mu C$

Explanation:

A charge located at a point will experience a zero electrostatic force if the resultant electric field on it due to any other charge(s) is zero.

$Q_1$ is located at the origin. The net force on it will only be zero if the resultant electric field intensity due to $Q_2$ and $Q_3$ at the origin is equal to zero. Therefore we can perform this solution without necessarily needing the value of $Q_1$ .

Let the electric field intensity due to $Q_2$ be + $E_2$ and that due to $Q_3$ be - $E_3$ since the charge is negative. Hence at the origin;

$+E_2-E_3=0..................(1)$

From equation (1) above, we obtain the following;

$E_2=E_3.................(2)$

From Coulomb's law the following relationship holds;

$+E_2=\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}\\$

$-E_3=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}$

where $r_2$ is the distance of $Q_2$ from the origin, $r_3$ is the distance of $Q_3$ from the origin and k is the electrostatic constant.

It therefore means that from equation (2) we can write the following;

$\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}.................(3)$

k can cancel out from both side of equation (3), so that we finally obtain the following;

$\frac{Q_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{Q_3}{r_3^2}................(4)$

Given;

$Q_2=?\\r_2=2.5cm=0.025m\\Q_3=-2.18\mu C=-2.18* 10^{-6}C\\r_3=3.5cm=0.035m$

Substituting these values into equation (4); we obtain the following;

$\frac{Q_2}{0.025^2}=\frac{2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\\\hence;\\\\Q_2=\frac{0.025^2*2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\$

$Q_2=\frac{0.00136*10^{-6}}{0.00123}=1.11*10^{-6}C\\\\Q_3=+1.11\mu C$

sports photographers often use large aperture, long focal length lenses. what limitations do these lenses impose on the photogra

Brut [27]

Answer:

The depth of focus achievable with those lenses is small.

Explanation:

A larger aperture makes it much harder to focus on more than one object. When using a telephoto lens (the ones the question is referring to), the depth of focus is very small. For example, using a telephoto lens to take a photo of a runner might get the runner in focus, but certainly not the track, or the audience behind them. If you look at photos, especially older photos, of Olympians in almost any sport you can see this.

Hope this helps!

An arrow is shot upward from the roof of a building 75 m high with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If g = 10 m/s2 , what total dista

Elenna [48]

Answer:

60m

Explanation:

According to one of the equation of motions, v² = u²+2as where;

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

Since the arrow is shot upwards, the body will experience a negative acceleration due to gravity i.e a = -g

Therefore our equation will become;

v² = u² - 2gS

Given u = 40m/s, g = 10m/s², S = 75m

Substituting to get the final velocity of the arrow we will have;

v² = 40²-2(10)(75)

v² = 1600 - 1500

v² = 100

v = √100

v = 10m/s

Total distance traveled is speed of the object × time taken

Total distance traveled = 10 × 6

= 60m

The arrow has therefore traveled 60m after 6seconds
