Why a sidewalk has cracks every few feets

Physics
2 answers:
lara [203]4 years ago

Because sidewalks are usually in places where the sun can shine
on them most of the day.  Even if the sun can't shine directly on them,
the weather can get hot.  Either way, the material that the sidewalk is
made of can often get hot.  You know that when things heat up they
"expand" ... they actually get slightly bigger.  If there were no spaces
in the sidewalk for it to get bigger, then when the material got hot and
tried to get bigger, it would crack and break, and the whole sidewalk
would be all broken up in a few months.

It is because if it was one big piece, the concrete would buckle and break just like bridges.

I need to solve this problem ​
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

λ = V / f      the wavelength versus the frequency

V = f λ      and V (speed) proportional λ    for a fixed frequency

F = f^2 * (M / L) * λ^2 = (f * λ)^2 * (M / L)^2    force (tension) on string at a given frequency

F2 / F1 = (λ2 / λ1)^2    other items are constant

Let λ1  = 6   then λ2 must be 3/2 λ1   for a constant length

F2 / F1 = (6 / 4)^2 = 9/4

The tension must be increased to 9 / 4 of  the original tension

Check: if the frequency is fixed then V will be larger for a larger wavelength  (situation 2)

One can also write V = (F / (M / L))^1/2

Then for fixed M  L    

F2 / F1 = (V2 / V1)^2

Since V = f λ      Velocity is proportional to λ  for a fixed frequency

Then if V2 / V1 = 3 / 2     F2 = 9/4 F1

Describe the conditions necessary for equilibrium on a balance.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A body under concurrent forces (concurrent forces are forces with their line of action acting at a point) is said to be in equilibrium if the sum total of the forces acting on the body is zero.

For forces acting on a balance, the sum of upward forces and the downward forced acting on the balance must be equal for the balance to be in equilibrium.

Also the sum of clockwise moment must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment acting on the balance.

Moment is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the force to the pivot.

If the energies sound in the device is microphone what is the energy out
Katen [24]

Answer:

Microphones are a type of transducer - a device which converts energy from one form to another. Microphones convert acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm.

B What is SI and CGs unit of force​
choli [55]

Answer:

The relation between SI and CGS unit of force is the CGS unit of force is equal to SI unit of force. The force is the product of mass and acceleration. its SI unit is Newton and CGS unit is dyne. The relation between SI and CGS unit of force is.
