Answer:

50.0543248872 ft

Explanation:

F = Load = 20 ton = 20\times 2000\ lb

d = Diameter = 1.25 in

L_1 = Initial length = 50 ft

L_2 = Final length

A = Area = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

Y = Young's modulus = 30\times 10^6\ psi

Young's modulus is given by

Y=\dfrac{FL}{A\Delta L}\\\Rightarrow Y=\dfrac{FL_1}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2(L_2-L_1)}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{4FL_1}{Y\pi d^2}+L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{4\times 40000\times 50}{30\times 10^6\times \pi\times 1.25^2}+50\\\Rightarrow L_2=50.0543248872\ ft

The length during the lift is 50.0543248872 ft

An object at rest is suddenly broken apart into two fragments by an explosion one fragment acquires twice the kinetic energy of
satela [25.4K]
<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula: Ka = 2Kb 1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2)) The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1) By the definiton of momentum we can say: ma*Va = mb*Vb And with some algebra: Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we have: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2 Then: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2 We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1: 1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1: 1/2 = ma/mb And finally we have that: mb/2 = ma mb = 2ma</span>

A 10N force pulls to the right and friction opposes 2N. If the object is 20kg,find the acceleraton.
zmey [24]

Force = mass * acceleration

10 N - 2 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 / 20 = acceleration

2/5 m/s^2 = acceleration

A jogger runs 10.0 blocks do east, 5.0 blocks due South, and another two. Zero blocks do east. Assume all blocks are equal size,
Annette [7]

Jogger moves in three displacements

d1 = 10 blocks East

d2 = 5 blocks South

d3 = 2 blocks East

now we can say

total displacement towards East direction will be

d_x = 10 + 2= 12 blocks

Total displacement towards South

d_y = 5 block

now to find the net displacement we can use vector addition

d = \sqrt{d_x^2 + d_y^2}

d = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2}

d = 13 blocks

<em>so magnitude of net displacement will be equal to 13 blocks</em>
