A force acts on a 5kg object at rest. How fast will the object accelerate on a frictionless surface?
MakcuM [25]

Answer: The answer is C.) 25 m/s^2.

Explanation: If you input 5 as s, you would have to use the exponent 2.  This means that you have to multiply 5 by 5.  5 x 5= 25.  

Edit: Also, because the surface is frictionless, it will make the object go faster too.  Nothing can really slow it down unless something blocks it.

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
