Comic-book superheroes are sometimes able to punch holes through steel walls. (a) If the ultimate shear strength of steel is tak

en to be 2.50 x 108 Pa, what force is required to punch through a steel plate 2.00 cm thick? Assume the superhero’s fist has cross-sectional area of 1.00 x 102 cm2 and is approximately circular. (b) Qualitatively, what would happen to the superhero on delivery of the punch? What physical law applies?

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

shear stress is the measure of the material's resistance to cause "sliding" motion of its layers. 
<span>Since the hero has to take a cylindrical piece of metal out, the area which will cause this force is 2*pi*r*l (put r and l in SI units to get answer in Newtons) </span>
<span>so the force required is shear strength into this area (2.60109 * 2 * pi * r * l) </span>

A simple watermelon launcher is designed as a spring with a light platform for the watermelon. When an 8.00 kg watermelon is put
olga_2 [115]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force from Hooke's law, the force since Newton's second law and the potential elastic energy.

Since the forces are balanced the Spring force is equal to the force of the weight that is

F_s = F_g

kx = mg

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

m = Mass

g = Gravitational Acceleration

Re-arrange to find the spring constant

k = \frac{mg}{x}

k = \frac{8*9.8}{0.1}

k = 784N/m

Just before launch the compression is 40cm, then from Potential Elastic Energy definition

PE = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

PE =\frac{1}{2} 784*0.4^2

PE = 63.72J

Therefore the energy stored in the spring is 63.72J

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.
netineya [11]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

                                           Weight on Earth = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by  (9.8 m/s²):          Mass = (weight) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                            Mass = (650 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                           Mass = 66.33 kg  (rounded)

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

 T₂ =602  °C

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 227°C =227+273 K

T₁ =500 k

Gauge pressure at condition 1 given = 100 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 1 will be

P₁ = 100 + 100 KPa

P₁ =200 KPa

Gauge pressure at condition 2 given = 250 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 2 will be

P₂ = 250 + 100 KPa

P₂ =350 KPa

The temperature at condition 2 = T₂

We know that

\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=T_1\times \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=500\times \dfrac{350}{200}\ K\\

T₂ = 875 K

T₂ =875- 273 °C

T₂ =602  °C
