Although human beings have been able to fly hundreds of thousands of miles into outer space, getting inside the earth has proven

much more difficult. The deepest mines ever drilled are only about 10 miles deep. To illustrate the difficulties associated with such drilling, consider the following: The density of steel is about 7900 kilograms per cubic meter, and its breaking stress, defined as the maximum stress the material can bear without deteriorating, is about 2.0×1092.0×109 pascals. What is the maximum length of a steel cable that can be lowered into a mine? Assume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity remains constant at 9.8 meters per second per second.
Use two significant figures in your answer, expressed in kilometers.

Answer:

26 km

Explanation:

Let's say our "cable" has a cross section of 1 m²

Then each meter of cable would weight 7900(9.8) = 77420 N

A Pascal is a Newton per square meter

2 x 10⁹ / 77420 = 25840 m or about 26 km or about 16 miles

Raphael refers to a wave by noting its wavelength. lucinda refers to a wave by noting its frequency. which student is correct an
blsea [12.9K]
They are both right because you can note both things, I mean Raphael and Lucinda, both has a right statement or explanation about the wave. Wave by nothing is both for its wavelength and for its frequency. So Raphael and Lucinda are both correct because you can note both wavelength and frequency.

A bicycle tire rotates 25 times in 10 seconds. What is it’s average angular velocity?
ryzh [129]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Angular velocity of bicycle tire is 15.78 radians per second.</u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Angular velocity is the change in angular speed of an object with respect to time take for change or it is the rate of change of circular motion.

In the given question the circular displacement is 25 rounds around a central point.

The angular displacement is measured in degrees and 1 round is equal to 360 degrees.

25 Rounds = 25 × 360 = 9000 degrees.

Angular velocity = angular displacement /time = 9000/10 = 900 degrees per second.

In SI,angular velocity is represented in radians per second.

So, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees

Angular velocity = 15.78 radians per second

You stand on a bathroom scale in a moving elevator. what happens to the scale reading if the cable holding the elevator suddenly
Viefleur [7K]

A bathroom scales works due to gravity. Under normal conditions, a reading can be obtained when your body is pushing some force on the scale. However in this case, since you and the scale are both moving downwards, so your body is no longer pushing on the scale. Therefore the answer is:

<span>The reading will drop to 0 instantly</span>

A uniform 1.4-kg rod that is 0.75 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end of the rod. Both
svetlana [45]

Answer:

7 deg

Explanation:

m = mass of the rod = 1.4 kg

W = weight of the rod = mg = (1.4) (9.8) = 13.72 N

k_{L} = spring constant for left spring = 59 Nm^{-1}

k_{R} = spring constant for right spring = 33 Nm^{-1}

x_{L} = stretch in the left spring

x_{R} = stretch in the right spring

L = length of the rod = 0.75 m

\theta = Angle the rod makes with the horizontal

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for left spring

k_{L} x_{L} = (0.5) W\\(59) x_{L} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{L} = 0.116 m

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for right spring

k_{R} x_{R} = (0.5) W\\(33) x_{R} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{R} = 0.208 m

Angle made with the horizontal is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(x_{R} - x_{L})}{L} )\\\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(0.208 - 0.116)}{0.75} )\\\theta = 7 deg
