The achilles tendon is subjected to a large tension stress that results in a strain of 6%. if the unloaded tendon is 10 cm long,

how much does it elongate as a result of this strain?
The answer is .6cm I need to understand the work to get here.

Answer: 0.6cm

Explanation:

Strain is defined as  how much an object can be stretched or deformed  when force is applied to it .  it measures the  fractional change of the object’s length when the object faces  tensional stress. It is calculated  by using the formulae

Strain =  ΔL/ L

where strain = 6%

L= Original length

ΔL= change in length

 6% = ΔL/ 10 cm

ΔL= 10cm X 0.06

ΔL=0.6cm

Two charges (q1 = 3.8*10-6C, q2 = 3.2*10-6C) are separated by a distance of d = 3.25 m. Consider q1 to be located at the origin.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The distance is 1.69 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge q_{1}= 3.8\times10^{-6}\ C

Second charge q_{2}=3.2\times10^{-6}\ C

Distance = 3.25 m

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=E_{2}

\dfrac{kq_{1}}{x^2}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{(d-x)^2}

\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}=\dfrac{(x)^2}{(d-x)^2}

\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}=\dfrac{x}{d-x}

x=(d-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}

Put the value into the formula

x=(3.25-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}

x+x\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}

x(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}

x=\dfrac{3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}}{(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})}

x=1.69\ m

Hence, The distance is 1.69 m.

The two equal strong kids are having a tug a war. What do you expect to happen to the ball in this situation
borishaifa [10]

Answer:as per as Newtons second law, The forces exerted on the rope create tension.

As such,The tension is equal to the applied force.The tension is trasmitted to the opposite side and of the rope delivering the applied force.

Hope this helps.. :)
