An amusement park ride consists of airplane-shaped cars attached to steel rods. Each rod has a length of 15m and a cross-section

al area 8.00cm^2. Take Young's modulus for steel to be Y= 2.0 x 10^11 Pa.
How much is the rod stretched (change in length of) when the ride is at rest? Assume that each car with two people seated in it has a total weight of 1900 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of each rod, L = 15 m

Area of cross section of the rod, $A=8\ cm^2=0.0008\ m^2$

Young's modulus for steel, $Y=2\times 10^{11}\ Pa$

Total weight of two people, F = 1900 N

We need to find the stretching in the rod when the ride is at rest. The formula of Young's modulus of a material is given by :

$Y=\dfrac{FL}{A\Delta L}$

Here, $\Delta L$ is the stretching in the rod

$\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{YA}\\\\\Delta L=\dfrac{1900\times 15}{2\times 10^{11}\times 0.0008}\\\\\Delta L=1.78\times 10^{-4}\ m$

So, the rod will stretched to $1.78\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The problem is about magnitude of the displacement vector of the lady bug and its directions. so the magnitude of the displacement of the lady bug is 16 in / 2 because it started from the center so the magnitude is 8 in. and the direction is the rotation of the turn table which is 60 degrees

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

cos 25 = x / r

sin 25 = z / r

x₁ = r cos 20

z₁ = r sin 25

x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

d² = (18126-16314)² + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

d = √(408.7 10⁴)

d = 20,216 10² m

d = 2021.6 km

A 225 kg red bumper car is moving at 3.0 m/s. It hits a stationary 180 kg blue bumper car. The red and blue bumper cars combine

Alex Ar [27]

Given

m1(mass of red bumper): 225 Kg

m2 (mass of blue bumper): 180 Kg

m3(mass of green bumper):150 Kg

v1 (velocity of red bumper): 3.0 m/s

v2 (final velocity of the combined bumpers): ?

The law of conservation of momentum states that when two bodies collide with each other, the momentum of the two bodies before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This can be mathemetaically represented as below:

Pa= Pb

Where Pa is the momentum before collision and Pb is the momentum after collision.

Now applying this law for the above problem we get

Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.

Momentum before collision = (m1+m2) x v1 =(225+180)x 3 = 1215 Kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (m1+m2+m3) x v2 =(225+180+150)x v2

=555v2

Now we know that Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.

Hence we get

1215 = 555 v2

v2 = 2.188 m/s

Hence the velocity of the combined bumper cars is 2.188 m/s

djyliett [7]

I attached the missing picture.
We can figure this one out using the law of conservation of energy.
At point A the car would have potential energy and kinetic energy.
$A: mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}$
Then, while the car is traveling down the track it loses some of its initial energy due to friction:
$W_f=F_f\cdot L$
So, we know that the car is approaching the point B with the following amount of energy:
$mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}- F_fL$
The law of conservation of energy tells us that this energy must the same as the energy at point B.
The energy at point B is the sum of car's kinetic and potential energy:
$B: mgh_2+\frac{mv_2}{2}$
As said before this energy must be the same as the energy of a car approaching the loop:
$mgh_2+\frac{mv_2}{2}=mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}- F_fL$
Now we solve the equation for $v_1$ :
$v_1^2=2g(h_2-h_1)+v_2^2+\frac{2F_fL}{m}\\
v_1^2=39.23\\
v_1=\sqrt{39.23}=6.26\frac{m}{s}$

A cylindrical rod of steel (E = 207 GPa, 30 × 10 6 psi) having a yield strength of 310 MPa (45,000 psi) is to be subjected to a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Diameter of the cylinder will be $d=2.998\times 10^4m$

Explanation:

We have given young's modulus of steel $E=207GPa=207\times 10^9Pa$

Change in length $\Delta l=0.38mm$

Length of rod $l=500mm$

Load F = 11100 KN

Strain is given by $strain=\frac{\Delta l}{l}=\frac{0.38}{500}=7.6\times 10^{-4}$

We know that young's modulus $E=\frac{stress}{strain}$

So $207\times 10^9=\frac{stress}{7.6\times 10^{-4}}$

$stress=1573.2\times 10^{-5}N/m^2$

We know that stress $=\frac{force}{artea }$

So $1573.2\times 10^{-5}=\frac{11100\times 1000}{area}$

$area=7.055\times 10^{8}m^2$

So $\frac{\pi }{4}d^2=7.055\times 10^{8}$

$d=2.998\times 10^4m$
