The linear expansion of a material depends on which of the following?

Physics

1 answer:

nordsb [41]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

1. The change in temperature of the material.

2. The length of the material.

3. The type of material.

Explanation:

The term linear expansion is defined as the increase in length of any conductor when there is a change in temperature. The new length of any wire or rod is given by :

$L=L_o(1+\alpha \Delta T)$

$L_o$ is the initial length of the rod

$\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

It is clear that the linear expansion of a material depends on :

1. The change in temperature of the material.

2. The length of the material.

3. The type of material.

So, all options are correct.

Which of the following properties of water help to explain why icebergs float in the ocean?

crimeas [40]

The reason why icebergs float in the ocean has to do with temperature. Icebergs are colder than the ocean water and therefore the cold water is less dense than the warm water and this causes the Iceberg to float.

When Jim and Rob ride bicycles, Jim can only accelerate at three-quarters the acceleration of Rob. Both startfrom rest at the bo

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

46.4 s

Explanation:

5 minutes = 60 * 5 = 300 seconds

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. And $\theta$ be the slope of the road, s be the distance of the road, a be the acceleration generated by Rob, 3a/4 is the acceleration generated by Jim . Both of their motions are subjected to parallel component of the gravitational acceleration $gsin\theta$

Rob equation of motion can be modeled as s = a_Rt_R^2/2 = a300^2/2 = 45000a[/tex]

Jim equation of motion is $s = a_Jt_J^2/2 = (3a/4)t_J^2/2 = 3at_J^2/8$

As both of them cover the same distance

$45000a = 3at_J^2/8$

$t_J^2 = 45000*8/3 = 120000$

$t_J = \sqrt{120000} = 346.4 s$

So Jim should start 346.4 – 300 = 46.4 seconds earlier than Rob in other to reach the end at the same time

We are going to make an imaginary engine using water. We are going to heat 100 grams of water to 120 C from its initial temperat

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The work done by this engine is 800 cal

Explanation:

Given:

100 g of water

120°C final temperature

22°C initial temperature

30°C is the temperature of condensed steam

Cw = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g °C

Cg = specific heat of steam = 0.48 cal/g °C

Lw = latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g

Question: How much work can be done using this engine, W = ?

First, you need to calculate the heat that it is necessary to change water to steam:

$Q_{1} =m_{w} C_{w} (100-22)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)$

Here, mw is the mass of water

$Q_{1} =(100*1*78)+(100*540)+(100*0.48*20)=62760cal$

Now, you need to calculate the heat released by the steam:

$Q_{2} =m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{w}(100-30)=(100*0.48*20)+(100*540)+(100*1*70)=61960cal$

The work done by this engine is the difference between both heats:

$W=Q_{1}-Q_{2}=62760-61960=800cal$

During an ultrasound, sound waves are sent by a transducer through muscle tissue at a speed of 1300 m/s. Some of the sound waves

Simora [160]

Answer:

0.195 m

Explanation:

Speed is distance moved per unit time, expressed as s=d/t and making d the subject of the formula then d=st

Where d is distance/depth moved, s is rhe speed of waves and t is time in seconds.

Substituting s with 1300 m/s and t with 0.00015 s then the depth of metal segment will be

D=1300*0.00015=0.195 m

Therefore, the depth is equivalent to 0.195 m

Sound is an example of a ____ Wave.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Mechanical Waves

Explanation:Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. A vibrating string can create longitudinal waves.
