Answer:

The expansion and contraction of materials can also cause problems. For example, bridges expand in the summer heat and need special joints to stop them bending out of shape.A bimetallic strip has two metal strips glued together. One of these metals expands more for each degree temperature rise than that other.

Compare relative age with absolute age.

oee [108]

Answer & Explanation:

Relative age is the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers. It can be determined by looking at the position of rock layers. Absolute age is the numeric age of a layer of rocks or fossils.

A shot is fired at an angle of 60 degree horizontal with Kinetic energy E. If air resistance is ignored, the K.E at the top of t

Lapatulllka [165]

I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith.

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is S cos(60) = 0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is S sin(60) = S√3/2 = 0.866 S . (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change.

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally.

That's E/4 .

For a given wave IF frequency doubles the wavelength

motikmotik

Answer:

C is halved

Explanation:

The frequency and the wavelength of a wave are related by the equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

From the equation above, we see that for a given wave, if the wave is travelling in the same medium (and so, its speed is not changing), then the frequency and the wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Therefore, if the frequency doubles, the wavelength will halve in order to keep the speed constant:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\\\lambda' = \frac{v}{f'}=\frac{v}{2f}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{v}{f})=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

In the lab downstairs physics majors use a rotating mirror to measure the speed of light within a few percent of the actual valu

iris [78.8K]

The number of complete cycles the rotating mirror goes through before the angular velocity gets to zero is approximately 1166.8 revs

<h3>What is angular velocity?</h3>

Angular velocity is the ratio of the angle turned to the time taken.

The kinematic equation for angular velocity are presented as follows;

ω = ω₀ + α·t

θ = θ₀ + ω₀·t + 0.5·α·t²

Where;

θ₀ = The initial angle turned = 0

ω₀ = The initial angular velocity of the mirrors = 115 rad/s clockwise

α = The angular acceleration = (115 - (-115))rad/s/(85 s) = -46/17 m/s²

t = The duration of the motion;

When the angular velocity, ω is zero, we get;

0 = 115 - 46/17·t

t = 85/2

Which indicates;

θ = 0 + 115× (85/2) + 0.5×(46/17) ×(85/2)² = 7331.25

θ = 7331.25 radians

θ = 7331.25/(2×π) ≈ 1166.8 rev

The mirrors would have turned through approximately 1166.8 revolutions when the angular gets to zero
