Answer:

2 m/s and -2 m/s

Explanation:

The object travels with an angle of

60.0°

with the positive direction of the y-axis: this means that it lies either in the 1st quadrant (positive x) or in the 2nd quadrant (negative x).

If it lies in the 1st quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

v_x = v cos \theta = (4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=2 m/s

If it lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

v_x = -v cos \theta = -(4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=-2 m/s

A 2.2-m-long steel rod must not stretch more than 1.2 mm when it is subjected to a 8.5-kN tension force. Knowing that E = 200 GP
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a) 0.00996 m

b) 109090909 Pa

Explanation:

Unit conversions:

E = 200GPa = 200\times10^9 Pa

1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

8.5 kN = 8500 N

If the 2.2m rod cannot stretch more than 0.0012 m, its maximum strain is

\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L} = \frac{0.0012}{2.2} = 0.000545455

With elastic modulus being E = 200 GPa, then its maximum stress must be

\sigma = E\epsilon = 200\times10^9*0.000545455 = 109090909 Pa

Knowing the tension force being F = 8500 N, we can calculate the appropriate cross section area

A = \frac{F}{\sigma} = \frac{8500}{109090909} = 7.79\times10^{-5}m^2

And its corresponding diameter is

A = \pi d^2/4

7.79\times10^{-5} = \pi d^2/4

d^2 = \frac{4*7.79\times10^{-5}}{\pi} = 9.92\times10^{-5}

d = \sqrt{9.92\times10^{-5}} = 0.00996 m \approx 1 cm

Please i need your help w/h/w you make the following measurements if an object:42kg, and 22m​
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

1.9 kg/m^3

Explanation:

The density of an object is given by

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

In this problem,

m = 42 kg

V = 22 m^3

Substituting into the equation, we find the object's density:

d=\frac{42 kg}{22 m^3}=1.9 kg/m^3

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

0.5504

Explanation:

We can use Bay's theorem to solve this question

P( No physics career/fail) = P(No Physics career and fail)/P(Fail)

= P( Fail/ No physics career)×P( no physics career)/P( fail)

=\frac{0.3\times1}{(0.7\times0.35)+(0.3\times1)}

=0.5504

What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 0 to 20m/s in 7 seconds?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2m/s^2

Explanation:

Clculate the acceleration:

V = u +at

20m/s = 0 + a*10s

a = 20m//10s

a = 2m/s²

From the data given , it is not possible to calculate the displacement , because no direction of motion is given

But it is possible to calculate the distance travelled

Distance = ut + ½ *a*t²

distance = 0 + ½ * 2m/s * 10²s

distance = 100m
