I need to calculate a coefficient of linear expansion given the following

Physics
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
4 0

The coefficient of linear expansion is

     <em>(change of length, feet) / (original length, feet)</em> per °F.

Since the numerator and denominator of the fraction have the same
unit, the coefficient turns out to be just a number, with no unit.

What is the difference between heat temperature and thermal energy?
igomit [66]
Well Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat. While <span>Heat energy (or thermal energy or simply heat) is defined as a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particles. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transferred by particles bouncing into each other.</span>

PHYSICS 50 POINTS PLEASE HELP

Answer:

One way to look at Newton’s three laws of motion is this:

The third law states what forces are. That is, all forces are interactions between two different objects. If one object is interacting with another, then equal and opposite forces act on each object. So no force acts alone. When you exert a force on something, it is exerting the identical force back on you.

The first and second laws deal with the consequences of the forces that act on an object. The first law says that in the absence of a net force on an object, it simply continues doing whatever it was already doing. If it is at rest, it will remain at rest. If it is in motion, it will continue with that same motion - at constant speed and in the direction it was already traveling.

The second law says what happens if there is a net force on the object. In that case, the object accelerates - either by changing its speed, its direction, or both - in proportion and in the direction of the net force that acts on it. The amount of acceleration depends the object’s mass. That is, the larger the mass the smaller the acceleration for a given net force. The first and second laws can be summarized in the mathematical expression

F = ma

where F is the vector sum of all the forces that act on the object at any given moment (i.e., the net force), m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object due to the net force at that moment - and is always in the same direction of the net force.

And notice that in a way, the first law is then “contained” within the second. That is, if the net force is zero on an object, then so is the acceleration. That is, either the object is (still) at rest or, if already in motion, the velocity didn’t change, in either case, the acceleration was zero.

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a speck of clay on the edge of a potter's wheel turning at 45 rpm (revolutions per
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a_{cp}=7.77m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}.

We know the wheel turns at 45 rpm, which means 0.75 revolutions per second (dividing by 60), so our frequency is f=0.75Hz, which is the inverse of the period T.

Our velocity is the relation between the distance traveled and the time taken, so is the relation between the circumference C=2\pi r and the period T, then we have:

v=\frac{C}{T}=2\pi r f

Putting all together:

a_{cp}=\frac{(2\pi r f)^2}{r}=4 \pi^2f^2r=4 \pi^2(0.75Hz)^2(0.35m)=7.77m/s^2
