Yield Strain of the Specimen
Diameter of the test-specimen
Gage length of the Specimen
Modulus of elasticity
Strain energy per unit volume at the elastic limit is
Considering that the net strain energy of the sample is
Therefore the net strain energy of the sample is 
Answer:
a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is
0.18 J
b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Explanation:
Hi there!
a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:
EPE = 1/2 · k · x²
Where:
k = spring constant.
x = stretched lenght.
Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).
First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:
4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²
EPE = 0.18 J
When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J
b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²
EPE = 0.72 J
When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Answer:
The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
acceleration of the truck, 
= 12.7 m/s²
mass of the truck, 
= 2490 kg
mass of the car, 
= 890 kg
let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = 
Apply Newton's third law of motion;
Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.
The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.
Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²
Answer:
80% (Eighty percent)
Explanation:
The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25
Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s
We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship
n = c/v, similarly
v = c/n
therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s
v = 239 833 966 m/s
Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as
(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%
Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)
Answer:
Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.
