The coefficient of linear expansion, given that the length of the pipe increased by 1.5 cm is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

<h3>How to determine the coefficient of linear expansion</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained

  • Original diameter (L₁) = 10 m
  • Change in length (∆L) = 1.5 cm = 1.5 / 100 = 0.015 m
  • Change in temperature (∆T) = 90 °F
  • Coefficient of linear expansion (α) =?

The coefficient of linear expansion can be obtained as illustrated below:

α = ∆L / L₁∆T

α = 0.015 / (10 × 90)

α = 0.015 / 900

α = 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of linear expansion is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

What does it mean that are bodies are in osmotic equilibrium but chemical and electrical disequilibrium? Why? What molecules are
Whitepunk [10]

Explanation:

The point is that water is moving smoothly but that the solutes are not.Even though the containers are chemically different (chemical disequilibrium), once all the solutes in one container are contrasted to all the solutes in another container, both have the same total solutes concentrations (this means that they are in osmotic balance).

An isolated conducting sphere has a 17 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.0000020 A into it. Another wire carries a curr
notsponge [240]

14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The current is measured as the amount of charge traveling per unit time. So the charge of electrons required for each current is determined as the product of current with time.

       Charge = Current \times Time

As two different current is passing at two different times, the net charge will be the different in current.  So,

        \text { Charge }=(1.0000020-1.0000000) \times t=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t

The electric voltage on the surface of cylinder can be obtained as the ratio of charge to the radius of the cylinder.

        V=\frac{k q}{R}

Here k = 9 * 10^9, q is the charge and R is the radius. As q=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t and R =17 cm = 0.17 m, then the voltage will be

        V=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}

The time is required to find to reach the voltage of 1500 V, so

1500 =\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}

\begin{aligned}&t=\frac{1500 \times 0.17}{\left(9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6}\right)}\\&t=14.1666 \times 10^{-3} s=14\ \mathrm{ms}\end{aligned}

So, 14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy
cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference.  So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative. 

What that means is:  You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom.  Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes.  So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

This is a question on my physics test :)
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

119.6 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Volume of water = 200 mL

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 200 mL

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Mass of water =..?

Density = mass /volume

1 = mass /200

Cross multiply

Mass of water = 1 x 200

Mass of water = 200 g

Convert 200 g of water to Kg

Mass of water = 200/1000 0.2 Kg

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Now, we obtained the specific heat capacity of the substance using the following formula:

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g = 170/1000 = 0.17 Kg

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

0.2× 4200(12.6 – 10) + 0.17×Cs×(12.6 – 120) = 0

840(2.6) + 0.17Cs(– 107.4) = 0

2184 – 18.258Cs = 0

Rearrange

2184 = 18.258Cs

Divide both side by the coefficient of Cs i.e 18258

Cs = 2184/18.258

Cs = 119.6 J/Kg°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the substance is 119.6 J/Kg°C
