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

A shot-putter puts a shot (weight=71.1N) that leaves his hand at adistance of 1.52m above the ground. (a) Find the work done by
dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

It is given that,

weight of the shot- putter, W = 71.1 kg

Initial position, x_i=1.52\ m

Final position, x_f=2.13\ m

To find,

Work done and the change in potential energy.

Solution,

(a) Let W is the work done by the gravitational force when the shot has risen to a height of 2.13 m above the ground. It is given by :

W_f=F\times x_f

W_f=71.1\times 2.13

W_f=151.44\ J

(b) We know that the potential energy is equal to the work done by an object such that,

\Delta P=P_f-P_i

\Delta P=W_f-W_i

\Delta P=151.44-71.1\times 1.52

\Delta P=43.36\ J

Answer:

1. 5.0 x 10^2 C

Explanation:

V=W/Q

10 = 2.0 x 10^-2/Q

Q = 2.0 x 10^-2/ 10

Q = 5.0 x 10^2 C

Two charged spheres are 8.45 cm apart. They are moved, and the force on each of them is found to have been tripled. How far apar
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Force between two charges is given by

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here force is inversely depends on the square of the distance

so here if distance is decreased the force will increase'

now if force is tripled

\frac{3F}{F} = \frac{r^2}{r'^2}

initially distance between charges was 8.45 cm

3 = \frac{8.45^2}{r'^2}

r' = \frac{8.45}{\sqrt3}

r' = 4.88 cm

so the distance between charges is 4.88 cm now
