3. A concrete highway is built of slabs 12 m long (20o C). How wide should the expansion cracks between the slabs be (at 20o C)

to prevent buckling if the range of temperature is -30o to +50o C? ( = 12 x 10-6 oC-1 for concrete)

Answer:

\Delta x=2.304\times 10^{-2}\ m=2.304\ cm is the minimum gap between the slabs

Explanation:

Given:

  • length of the concrete highway, l=12\ m
  • coefficient of thermal expansion, \alpha=12\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C^{-1}
  • range of temperature variation, (-30^{\circ}C\ to\ 50^{\circ}C) \Rightarrow \Delta T=80^{\circ}C

<u>Now form the equation of thermal expansion:</u>

\Delta l=l\times \alpha\times \Delta T

\Delta l=12\times (12\times 10^{-6})\times 80

\Delta l=1.152\times 10^{-2}\ m

Since each slab of the highway expands by the above length so the minimum gap between the slabs to prevent buckling:

\Delta x=2\times \Delta l

\Delta x=2\times( 1.152\times 10^{-2})

\Delta x=2.304\times 10^{-2}\ m=2.304\ cm is the minimum gap between the slabs

Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 3.6 L of liquid nitrogen int
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The  value is  V_n  =  2.2498 \  m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The volume of  liquid nitrogen is  V_n  =  3.6 \  L=  3.6 *10^{-3} \ m^3

   The  density of  nitrogen at gaseous form   is  \rho_n =  1.2929 \  kg/m^3  =  The dry air at sea level

   

Generally the density of nitrogen at liquid form is  

         \rho _l = 808 \  kg/m^3

And this is mathematically represented as

      \rho_l  =  \frac{m}{V_l }

=>   m  =  \rho_l  *  V_l

Now the density of  gaseous nitrogen is

       \rho_n  =  \frac{m}{V_n }

=>   m  =  \rho_n  *  V_n

Given that the mass is constant

       \rho_n  *  V_n  =   \rho_l  *  V_l

        1.2929*  V_n  =   808  *  3.6*10^{-3}

=>   V_n  =  2.2498 \  m^3

Q¹=0,07Mc Q²=2C r=1,08 cm F=.......?
Nostrana [21]
The force (F) of attraction or repulsion between two point charges (Q1 and Q2) is given by the following rule:
F = <span>(k * q1 * q2) / (r^2)  where:
</span>q1 and q2 are the charges
k is coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9<span> N. m</span>2/ C<span>2
</span>r is the distance between the two charges.

Applying the givens in the mentioned equation, we find that:
F = (9 x 10^9<span> x 0.07 x 10^6 x 2) / (0.0108)^2 = 1.08 x 10^19 n </span>

What is the speed of light? What is the speed of sound?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

speed of light simulating traveling at the speed of light. Speed of light, speed at which light waves propagate through different materials. In particular, the value for the speed of light in a vacuum is now defined as exactly 299,792,458 metres per second

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium
