Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Each of the rods depicted below were machined from same stock metal. They were originally machined to be the same length, but th

Shkiper50 [21]

The force required to extend a rod increases as the cross sectional area

increases.

The rod that experiences the largest force is rod B

Reason:

The elongation of a rod by the application of a force is given by the

following formula;

$\Delta L = \dfrac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot E}$

From the above equation, we have that the elongation is inversely

proportional to the cross sectional area, such that the extension of a rod by

a given force reduces as the cross sectional area of the rod increases.

Therefore, the force required to extend the length of a rod by a specific

amount increases as the cross sectional area of the rod increases,

indicating that the rod with the largest cross sectional area require the

most force and therefore, experiences the largest force.

The rod that experiences the largest force is the rod with the largest cross

sectional area, which is rod B

Which statement is true about an atom and an element?

Lemur [1.5K]

"An atom is the smallest unit of matter and an element is a pure substance that is made of identical atoms" is correct. Although atoms can be broken down further now, it still take a whole atom to make an element.

Two metallic rods A and B of different materials have same length. The linear expansivity of A is 12×10–6 oC–1and cubical expans

uysha [10]

Answer:

The length of rod A will be greater than the length of rod B

Explanation:

We, know that the formula for final length in linear thermal expansion of a rod is:

L' = L(1 + ∝ΔT)

where,

L' = Final Length

L = Initial Length

∝ = Co-efficient of linear expansion

ΔT = Change in temperature

Since, the rods here have same original length and the temperature difference is same as well. Therefore, the final length will only depend upon the coefficient of linear expansion.

For Rod A:

∝₁ = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

For Rod B:

∝₂ = β₂/3

where,

β₂ = Coefficient of volumetric expansion for rod B = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Therefore,

∝₂ = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹/3

∝₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Since,

∝₁ > ∝₂

Therefore,

L₁ > L₂

So, the length of rod A will be greater than the length of rod B
