Answer:

The change in temperature of 576.9°C will produce an elongation of 9 inches per feet in steel.

Explanation:

The formula for linear expansion of a material is:

ΔL = αLΔT

where, ΔL = change in length

             L = Original length

           ΔT = Change in temperature

             α = coefficient of linear expansion

For steel, α = 13 x 10^-6 /°C

                L = 100 ft

                ΔL = (9 in)(1 ft/12 in) = 0.75 ft

Therefore,

0.75 ft = (13 x 10^-6 /°C)(100 ft)ΔT

<u>ΔT = 576.9°C</u>

Find the frequency of a wave with the wavelength 3.5 m and the speed is 50 m/s. <br>​
Andru [333]

Answer:

8.57 Hz

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Wavelength (λ) = 3.5 m

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Frequency (f) =?

The velocity, wavelength and frequency of a wave are related according to the equation:

Velocity = wavelength × frequency

v = λ × f

With the above formula, we can simply obtain the frequency of the wave as follow:

Wavelength (λ) = 3.5 m

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Frequency (f) =?

v = λ × f

30 = 3.5 × f

Divide both side by 3.5

f = 30 / 3.5

f = 8.57 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 8.57 Hz

A 32-n force acts on a small mass in the positive x-direction. a 26-n force also acts on it in the negative x-direction. what is
motikmotik

Equilibrium force is the force that will keep the small mass in place, hence no movement must be made. So we know that 32 N of force is acted towards the positive direction so +32 N. Which is counteracted by 26 N force so:

32 N – 26 N = 6 N (positive)

Since positive 6 is left, therefore this must be acted by an equilibrant negative 6 N.

 

Answer:

<span>- 6 N </span>

A 21 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar
Georgia [21]

Answer:

a)15 N

b)12.6 N

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of block (wt)= 21 N

μs = 0.80 and μk = 0.60

We know that

Maximum value of static friction given as

Frs = μs m g = μs .wt

by putting the values

Frs= 0.8 x 21 = 16.8 N

Value of kinetic friction

Frk= μk m g = μk .wt

By putting the values

Frk= 0.6 x 21 = 12.6 N

a)

When T = 15 N

Static friction Frs= 16.8 N

Here the value of static friction is more than tension T .It means that block will not move and the value of friction force will be equal to the tension force.

Friction force = 15 N

b)

When T= 35 N

Here value of tension force is more than maximum value of static friction that is why block will move .We know that when body is in motion then kinetic friction will act on the body.so the value of friction force in this case will be 12.6 N

Friction force = 12.6 N

Which statements describe using genetic factors to influence the growth of organisms? Select the three (3) that apply.
Damm [24]

Answer:

- increasing use of hybrid crops

- altering genes in DNA to create new plants

- developing disease or pest resistant crops

Explanation:

The use of genetic factors to influence the growth of a plant encompasses manipulating the genetic constituent (gene) of such plant.

For example,

- Increasing use of hybrid crops entails mating two pure bred plants based on a gene of interest responsible for a particular trait, to form a hybrid.

- Altering genes in DNA to create new plants is also a genetic factor as it has to with gene modification.

- developing disease or pest resistant crops means that the genetic make up of such plant has been modified to be resistant to pest/disease.
