We can base this on the equation of thermal expansion.

ΔL = L₀αΔT
where
ΔL is the expansion of length upon heating
L₀ is the initial length
α is the coefficient of linear expansion
ΔT is the temperature difference

So, if α for Aluminum is greater than α for Copper, then after heating, aluminum would be longer than copper.

when a circular plate of metal is heated in an oven, its radius increases at .03 cm/min, at what rate is the area increasing whe
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min

Explanation:

We have given rate of change of radius \frac{dr}{dt}=0.03cm/min

Radius of the circular plate r = 52 cm

Area is given by A=\pi r^2

So \frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

Puting the value of r and \frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 3.14\times 52\times 0.03=9.796cm^2/min

So rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of
andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where :

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

n_1=1.00 (index of refraction of air)

n_2=1.50 approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

And since n_2>n_1, we have

\frac{n_1}{n_2}

And so

\theta_2

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

You're at rest in a hammock when a hungry mosquito sees an opportunity for lunch. A mild 2 m/s breeze is blowing. If the mosquit
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A) against the breeze at 2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that air is blowing at 2 m/s.An a mosquito eat lunch.If mosquito want to eat lunch he have to move opposite to the direction of air because air is blowing at 2 m/s.So we can say that mosquito have to move against the air.

But in we have to protect our self from mosquito because if any mosquito bite us then it may lead to fever .So the protection is very important from mosquito .

Therefore the answer is --

A
