Answer:

1.53

Explanation:

α=Δl/(l Δt) here α is coefficient of linear expansion Δl is change in length l is original length andΔt is change in temperature

Δl=0.00174m , l=3.50m ,Δt=21-(-11-5)= 21+11.5 =32.5 ⁰C

α = 0.00174 / (3.50×32.5)

= 1.53×10^-5 ( ⁰C)^-1

Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

$a=v^2/r$

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

The x component of vector is -27.3 m and the y component is +43.6 m. (a) What is the magnitude of ? (b) What is the angle betwee

lara [203]

Answer:51.44 units

Explanation:

Given

x component of vector is $-27.3\hat{i}$

y component of vector is $43.6\hat{j}$

so position vector is

$r=-27.3\hat{i}+43.6\hat{j}$

Magnitude of vector is

$|r|=\sqrt{27.3^2+43.6^2}$

$|r|=\sqrt{2646.25}$

|r|=51.44 units

Direction

$tan\theta =\frac{43.6}{-27.3}=-1.597$

vector is in 2nd quadrant thus

$180-\theta =57.94$

$\theta =122.06^{\circ}$

Answer:

Hey

Yes, this is true.

As some people have it wrong, waves in the water (ocean) are not waves of moving water, rather the wave is moving through the water. A wave is a disturbance of a medium not the meduim moving.
