No

The object/objects inside would have to be of a certain consistency/element/form so air wouldn’t work

A cylindrically shaped piece of collagen (a substance found in the body in connective tissue) is being stretched by a force that

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part(a): The value of the spring constant is $3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}$ .

Part(b): The work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen is $1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J$ .

Explanation:

Part(a):

If ' $k$ ' be the force constant and if due the application of a force ' $F$ ' on the collagen ' $\Delta l$ ' be it's increase in length, then from Hook's law

$F = k~\Delta l....................................................................(I)$

Also, Young's modulus of a material is given by

$Y = \dfrac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}...............................................................(II)$

where ' $A$ ' is the area of the material and ' $l$ ' is the length.

Comparing equation ( $I$ ) and ( $II$ ) we can write

$&& Y = \dfrac{l~k}{A}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~A}{l}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~(\pi~r^{2})}{l}$

Here, we have to consider only the circular surface of the collagen as force is applied only perpendicular to this surface.

Substituting the given values in equation ( $III$ ), we have

$k = \dfrac{3.10 \times 10^{6}~N~m^{-2} \times \pi \times (0.00093)^{2}~m^{2}}{.027~m} = 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}$

Part(b):

We know the amount of work done ( $W$ ) on the collagen is stored as a potential energy ( $U$ ) within it. Now, the amount of work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen can be written as

$W = \dfrac{1}{2}k~x^{2} = \dfrac{(\dfrac{F}{k})^{2}k}{2} = \dfrac{F^{2}}{2~k}...................................(IV)$

Substituting all the values, we can write

$W = \dfrac{(3.06 \times 10^{-2})^{2}~N^{2}}{2 \times 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}} = 1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J$

Which of the following best explains why clear-cutting forests is more destructive than selectively cutting down trees in forest

garri49 [273]

<span>The answer is a. cutting trees reduce fertility and eliminates animal habitats. Plant material is essential in maintaing soil fertility. Leaves and branches decay to form humus; removing trees decreases the organic content. Trees are home to many animal species, including birds, insects and amphibians. Some trees are even support or home to other plants. Examples include epiphytes in the rainforest ecosystem. Clear cutting forests disrupts whole communities and ecosystems. </span>
