A steel rod has a radius of 10mm and a
ss7ja [257]
Given a steel rod:
Radius = r = 10 mm = 0.010 m.
Length L = 1 m.
Tensile Force = F = 100 kN.
Young's Modulus = Y = 2.0 &* 10¹¹ Nm⁻²

a) Stress = Force/cross sectional area
σ = F / A
= 100,000 /(π 0.010²) Pa
= 318.309 MPa

b) Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)
Elongation ΔL = L F / (A Y)
= L σ / Y
= 1 * 318.309 * 10⁶ / 2.0 * 10¹¹ m
= 1.591 mm

c) Percentage elongation : ΔL/L * 100 = 0.1591 %

In a shot-put competition, a shot moving at 15m/s has 450J of mechanical kinetic energy. What is the mass of the shot? Please he
Llana [10]

Answer:

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity (v) = 15 m/s

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 450 J

Find:

Mass of shot (m) = ?

Computation:

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 1/2mv²

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = [1/2](m)(15)²

450 = [1/2](m)(15)²

900 = 225 m

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg

a sleepy atudent drops a calculator out of a window yhata 20.7 m off the geound. we can ignore air resistance. what js the veloc
frez [133]

The acceleration of gravity is

9.8 m/s^2 down.

When an object falls out of a hand, its speed after 1.8s is

(9.8)x(1.8) = 17.6 m/s down.

It doesn't matter what it is, how much it weighs, or how high it was dropped from.

If it's more than 17.6 m/s, then this happened on a different, bigger planet.

If it's less than 17.6 m/s, then it must have hit something on the way down, like some air or something.

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball
Ymorist [56]

Answer:440.03 N

Explanation:

Given

horizontal component of acceleration (a_x)=800 m/s^2

vertical component of acceleration (a_y)=880 m/s^2

mass of ball =0.37 kg

Force in horizontal direction=m\times a_x=0.37\times 800=296 N

Force in vertical direction =m\times a_y=0.37\times 880=325.6 N

Therefore net force is

F=F_x+F_y

|F|=\sqrt{296^2+325.6^2}

|F|=440.03 N
