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

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?

andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.1 rad/s in 2.99 s.(a) fi

elena55 [62]

The angular acceleration of a rotating object is given by
$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$
where
$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed of the object
$\omega_i$ is its initial angular speed
$\Delta t$ is the time taken to accelerate

For the wheel in our problem, $\omega_f=11.1 rad/s$ , $\omega_i = 0$ and $\Delta t=2.99 s$ , so its angular acceleration is
$\alpha= \frac{11.1 rad/s-0}{2.99 s}=3.71 rad/s^2$

A student wants to demonstrate entropy using the songs on her portable music player. What should she do to demonstrate the lowes

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: A. play a single song by a single artist

Explanation: Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system that has more random distribution is considered to have more entropy and a system with ordered arrangement is considered to have less entropy.

Playing a single song by a single artist has least randomness , and lowest disorder and thus has lowest entropy.
