Two rods are made of brass and have the same length. The cross section of one of the rods is circular, with a diameter of 2a. Th

e other rod has a square cross section, where each side of the square is a length 2a. One end of the rods is attached to an immovable fixture which allows the rods to hang vertically. To the free end of each rod, a block of mass m is attached. Which rod, if either, will stretch more after the block is attached?
A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

B. The one with the square cross section will stretch more.

C. Both will stretch by the same amount.

D. One cannot say which will stretch more without knowing the numerical values of a and m.

Answer:

A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

Explanation:

According to the given data:

Two rods are made of brass and have the same length

Both rods having circular and square cross-section

Diameter of circular cross-section given is 2 a

therefore, Cross-section = $A_c=\frac{\pi (2a)^2}{4}=\pi a^2$

If the length of square=2 a

then, Cross-section = $A_{s}$ = (2a)²=>4a²

Change in Length of rod = PL / AE

δL $\alpha \frac{1}{A}$

Now, we are considering other factors same

the area of cross-section of square rod is more than Area of cross-section of circular rod

thus, the one with the circular cross section will stretch more

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

Explanation:

Here we have the cross section as being

1. Circular, with diameter, D = 2·a

2. Square cross section with each side length = 2·a

The area of the circular rod is then

Area of circle = π·D²/4 which is equal to

π×(2·a)²/4 = π·4·a²/4 = π·a²

The area of the rod with square cross section is

Area of square = Side² which gives

Area of cross section = (2·a)² = 4·a²

Therefore, since π = 3.142, the cross sectional area of the circular rod is less than that of the one with a square cross section

That is, π·a² = 3.142·a² < 4·a²

We note that the elongation or extension is directly proportional to the force applied as shown as follows

$\frac{P}{A} = E\frac{\delta}{L}$

Where:

P/A = Force and

δ = Extension

The force is inversely proportional to the area, therefore a rod with less cross sectional area experiences more force and more elongation.

Justify why sound waves need a medium to propagate with example??

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.

The Hubble Space Telescope in orbit above the Earth has a 2.4 m circular aperture. The telescope has equipment for detecting ult

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Option d

The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is $4.8x10^{-8}rad$ .

Explanation:

The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).

That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).

The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.

The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.

The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.

$\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}$ (1)

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.

Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.

$\lambda = 95nm \cdot \frac{1x10^{-9}m}{1nm}$ ⇒ $9.5x10^{-8}m$

Finally, equation 1 can be used.

$\theta = 1.22(\frac{9.5x10^{-8}m}{2.4m})$

$\theta = 4.8x10^{-8}rad$

Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is $4.8x10^{-8}rad$ .

A block–spring system vibrating on a frictionless, horizontal surface with an amplitude of 7.0 cm has an energy of 14 J. If the

Bingel [31]

Answer:

$E_T= 28J$

Explanation:

The energy of Mass-Spring System the sum of the potential energy of the block plus the kinetic energy of the block:

$E_T=U+K=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2+\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where:

$\Delta x=Amplitude\hspace{3}or\hspace{3}d eformation\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} spring\\m=Mass\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}block\\k=Constant\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}spring\\v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}block$

There are two cases, the first case is when the spring is compressed to its maximum value, in this case the value of the kinetic energy is zero, since there is no speed, so:

$E_T=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2\\\\14=\frac{1}{2} k7^2\\\\Solving\hspace{3} for\hspace{3} k\\\\k=\frac{28}{49} =\frac{4}{7}$

The second case is when the block passes through its equilibrium position, in this case the elastic potential energy is zero since $\Delta x=0$ , so:

$E_T=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\14=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\Solving\hspace{3} for\hspace{3} v\\\\v^2=\frac{28}{m}$

Now, let's find the energy of the system when the block is replaced by one whose mass is twice the mass of the original block using the previous data:

$E_T=U+K=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2$

Where in this case:

$m_2=New\hspace{3}mass=Twice\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} mass \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} original=2m$

Therefore:

$E_T=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{7} ) (7^2)+\frac{1}{2} (2m)(\frac{28}{m_2})=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{7} ) (7^2)+\frac{1}{2} (2m)(\frac{28}{2m})=14+14=28J$

A bicycle rider travels 50.0 km in 2.5 hours. What is the cyclists speed

krek1111 [17]

Hi,
Recall the formula V=d/t, where V stands for velocity or speed, d stands for distance and t stands for time. By substituting your values you get: V=50.0km/2.5h, which equals to 20km/h.
