A copper wire has a radius of 2.9 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends of the wire, the wire stretches by 5.0×10−3 of its original length. What is the tensile stress on the wire? Young's modulus for copper is 11×1010Pa.

550000000N/m

Explanation:

Given that a copper wire has a radius of 2.9 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends of the wire, the wire stretches by 5.0×10−3 of its original length.

Original length L = 0.005L

the strain = extension/ original length

the strain = 0.005L / L

the strain = 0.005

Young modulus = stress / strain

11 × 10^10 = stress / 0.005

Cross multiply

Stress = 11 × 10^10 × 0.005

Stress = 550 000000 N/m

Therefore, the tensile stress on the wire is 550000000 N/m.

hey , the answer is c

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
