An aluminum cylinder with a radius of 2.7 cm and a height of 67 cm is used as one leg of a workbench. The workbench pushes down

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$1.9\times 10^{-4}$

$1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2.7 cm

F = Force = $3.2\times 10^4\ N$

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

$\sigma$ = Stress = $\frac{F}{A}$

E = Young's modulus = $7\times 10^{10}\ Pa$

$\epsilon$ = Strain

$L_0$ = Original length = 67 cm

$\Delta L$ = Change in length

Young's modulus is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\frac{3.2\times 10^4}{\pi 0.027^2}}{7\times 10^{10}}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=0.0001996=1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is $1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is given by

$\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\epsilon\times L_0\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.9\times 10^{-4}\times 0.67\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.0001273\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The cylinder height decreases by $1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.

A “point-light walker” wears lights on different body locations. When viewed in a dark room, an observer would perceive a(n):

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

person when the point-light walker is moving

Explanation:

A point light walker is an arrangement of dots that moves in a way that mimics a human walking. This is used in the field of Biological Motion Perception.

Biological motion perception is the science that deals with how our brain perceives motion. In order to understand how the brain perceives motion a point light walker is used.

A stone that starts at rest free falls for 7.0 s. How far does the stone fall in this time?

vredina [299]

Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s

a=9.8 m/s
t=7s

a = d/t^2

therefore:

d = a * t^2

d = 9.8 * 7^2

d = 9.8 * 49

d = 480.2 [m]
