1. As you get ready for bed, you roll up one of your socks into a tight ball and toss it into the laundry

Answer:

When you toss a rolled up sock across the room, it travels faster as it becomes round and has more weight added on it and this causes the sock to travel in the direction you wish and this gives you a high chance of the sock going straight into the laundry basket, no matter how far away you are.

On the other hand, throwing a sock without rolling it up will cause the sock to just flat down as you throw it. It will travel at a low speed because it has no weight on it since it is flat, and if you try to throw it, it will atleast land 21 cm away from you. About a 0% chance of it getting in the basket.

Hope this helped! =>

A small object with a 5.0-mC charge is accelerating horizontally on a friction-free surface at 0.0050 m/s2 due only to an electr

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$0.002 N/C$

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge of object, q = 5 mC = $5 * 10^{-3} C$

Acceleration of object, a = $0.005 m/s^2$

Mass of object, m = 2.0 g

The Electric field exerts a particular force on the object, causing it to accelerate (Electrostatic force).

We know that Electrostatic force, F, is given in terms of Electric field, E, as:

F = qE

This means that the object exerts a force of -qE on the Electric force (Action with equal and opposite reaction).

The object also has a force, F, due to its acceleration a. This force is the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically:

F = ma

Equating the two forces of the object, we get:

-qE = ma

=> $E = \frac{-ma}{q}$

Solving for E, we have:

$E = \frac{-2 * 10^{-3} * 0.005}{5 * 10^{-3}} \\\\\\E = -0.002 N/C$

The magnitude will be:

$|E| = |-0.002| N/C = 0.002 N/C$

The electric field has a magnitude of 0.002 N/C.

A tensile test specimen has a gage length = 50 mm and its cross-sectional area = 100 mm2. The specimen yields at 48,000 N, and t

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) yield strength

$\sigma_y = \dfrac{F_y}{A} = =\dfrac{48000}{100} = 480 MPa$

b) modulus of elasticity

strain calculation

$\varepsilon_0=\dfrac{L-L_0}{L_0}=\dfrac{50.23-50}{50} = 0.0046$

strain for offset yield point

$\varepsilon_{new} = \varepsilon_0 -0.002$

=0.0046-0.002 = 0.0026

now, modulus of elasticity

$E = \dfrac{\sigma_y}{\varepsilon_{new}}=\dfrac{480}{0.0026}$

= 184615.28 MPa = 184.615 GPa

c) tensile strength

$\sigma_u =\dfrac{F_{max}}{A}=\dfrac{87000}{100}=870MPa$

d) percentage elongation

$\% Elongation = \dfrac{L-L_0}{L_0}\times 100 = \dfrac{67.3-50}{50}\times 100 = 34.6\%$

e) percentage of area reduction

$\% Area\ reduction = \dfrac{A-A_f}{A}\times 100=\dfrac{100-53}{100}= 47 \%$

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.33 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

Troyanec [42]

Answer: 6.47m/s

Explanation:

The tangential speed can be defined in terms of linear speed. The linear speed is the distance traveled with respect to time taken. The tangential speed is basically, the linear speed across a circular path.

The time taken for 1 revolution is, 1/3.33 = 0.30s

velocity of the wheel = d/t

Since d is not given, we find d by using formula for the circumference of a circle. 2πr. Thus, V = 2πr/t

V = 2π * 0.309 / 0.3

V = 1.94/0.3

V = 6.47m/s

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.47m/s

Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?

ss7ja [257]

Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there.

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different. But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.
