Two rods are made of brass and have the same length. The cross section of one of the rods is circular, with a diameter of 2a. Th

e other rod has a square cross section, where each side of the square is a length 2a. One end of the rods is attached to an immovable fixture which allows the rods to hang vertically. To the free end of each rod, a block of mass m is attached. Which rod, if either, will stretch more after the block is attached?
A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

B. The one with the square cross section will stretch more.

C. Both will stretch by the same amount.

D. One cannot say which will stretch more without knowing the numerical values of a and m.

Answer:

A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

Explanation:

According to the given data:

Two rods are made of brass and have the same length

Both rods having circular and square cross-section

Diameter of circular cross-section given is 2 a

therefore, Cross-section = $A_c=\frac{\pi (2a)^2}{4}=\pi a^2$

If the length of square=2 a

then, Cross-section = $A_{s}$ = (2a)²=>4a²

Change in Length of rod = PL / AE

δL $\alpha \frac{1}{A}$

Now, we are considering other factors same

the area of cross-section of square rod is more than Area of cross-section of circular rod

thus, the one with the circular cross section will stretch more

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

Explanation:

Here we have the cross section as being

1. Circular, with diameter, D = 2·a

2. Square cross section with each side length = 2·a

The area of the circular rod is then

Area of circle = π·D²/4 which is equal to

π×(2·a)²/4 = π·4·a²/4 = π·a²

The area of the rod with square cross section is

Area of square = Side² which gives

Area of cross section = (2·a)² = 4·a²

Therefore, since π = 3.142, the cross sectional area of the circular rod is less than that of the one with a square cross section

That is, π·a² = 3.142·a² < 4·a²

We note that the elongation or extension is directly proportional to the force applied as shown as follows

$\frac{P}{A} = E\frac{\delta}{L}$

Where:

P/A = Force and

δ = Extension

The force is inversely proportional to the area, therefore a rod with less cross sectional area experiences more force and more elongation.

Answer:

a. Walking burns up more energy.

b. 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

Explanation:

a. We know energy W = Pt where P = power and t = time.

Now for walking, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 3.00 km/hr and P = 290 W

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/3.00 km/hr = 5/3 hr = 5/3 × 3600 s = 6000 s

W = Pt = 290 W × 6000 s = 1740000 = 1740 kJ

Now for running, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 10.00 km/hr

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/10.00 km/hr = 0.5 hr = 0.5 × 3600 s = 1800 s and P = 700 W

W = Pt = 700 W × 1800 s = 1260000 = 1260 kJ

Since walking burns up 1740 kJ and running burns up 1260 kJ, walking burns up more energy.

b. It burns up 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Check all that apply.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Gravity acts to pull the object down.

The object’s inertia carries it forward.

The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, where the velocity is constant; since there are no forces along this direction, the velocity does not change, and so the object continues its motion for inertia --> so, the statement "The object’s inertia carries it forward" is true.

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with a constant downward acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity). So, the vertical velocity changes, due to the presence of the gravity that acts to pull the object down.

- As a result of the combination of these two motions, the object follows a curved path (in particular, it is a parabolic path).

6. Two light bulbs are designed for use at 120 V and are rated at 75 W and 150 W. Which light bulb has the greater filament resi

Nonamiya [84]

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

P is power
R is resistance

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}$

Hence

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto V$

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto \dfrac{1}{P}$

Therefore if power is low then resistance will be high.

The first bulb has less power hence it has greater filament resistance.

If the angular velocity of the pully is -8.4rad/s at a given time, and its anglar acceleration is -2.8rad/s2, what is the angula

snow_lady [41]

Here we know that

$\omega_i = - 8.4 rad/s$

$\alpha = - 2.8 rad/s^2$

$t = 1.5 s$

now from kinematics we have

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

now from above all values we have

$\omega_f = (-8.4 rad/s) + (-2.8 rad/s^2)(1.5)$

$\omega_f = -8.4 + (-4.2)$

$\omega_f = -12.6 rad/s$

so final angular speed is -12.6 rad/s
