Answer:
19.68 × 10⁻³ m
Explanation:
Given;
Original Length, L₁ = 41.0 m
Temperature Change, ΔT = 40.0°C
Thermal Linear expansion of steel is given to be, ∝
= 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C
Generally, Linear expansivity is expressed as;
∝ = ΔL / L₁ΔT
Where
∝ is the Linear expansivity
ΔL is the change in length, L₂ - L₁
L₂ is the final length
L₁ is the original length
ΔT is the change in temperature θ₂ - θ₁ (Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)
From equation of linear expansivity
ΔL = ∝
L₁ΔT
ΔL = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C × 41.0 m × 40.0 °C
ΔL = 19.68 × 10⁻³ m
ΔL = 19.68 mm
The momentum of the truck is given by:
p = mv
p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity
There isn't too much work to do here; the truck is at rest, therefore its velocity is 0. This means the product of m and v is 0, giving the momentum as 0.
