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

1 answer:

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.

A moving object is in equilibrium. Which best describes the motion of the object if no forces change?

Alchen [17]

If the object is in equilibrium that means that the sum of the forces on it is zero and the net force is zero. If none of the forces changes then the object continues in constant uniform motion. That means constant speed in a straight line.

Answer:

Normal force = 8.75 N

Explanation:

given,

frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying pan=0.350 N

coefficient of friction between material =0.04

normal force = ?

using formula,

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force

$normal\ force = \dfrac{Frictional\ force}{coefficient\ of\ friction}$

$normal\ force = \dfrac{0.350}{0.04}$

Normal force = 8.75 N

Estimate the volume of a typical house (2050 feet squared in size and 10 feet tall) answer in units of meters squared

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

$Volume = 6248.48 m^{3}$

Explanation:

Given:

The area of the house $A = 2050\ ft^{2}$

The height of the house $h=10\ ft$

We need to find the volume of a typical house.

Solution:

We find the volume of the house by multiplying the area of the house and height of the house.

$Volume = Area\times height$

$Volume = A\times h$

Area and height of the house are known, so we substitute these value in above equation.

$Volume = 2050\times 10$

$Volume = 20500\ ft^{3}$

Now we convert the unit from feet to meter.

Divide the volume by 3.2808 for $m^{3}$

$Volume = \frac{20500}{3.2808}$

$Volume = 6248.48\ m^{3}$

Therefore, the volume of the house is $6248.48 m^{3}$

when mary took a cold thick-walled glass out of the refrigerator and placed it in boiling water, the glass cracked. Explain why

goldfiish [28.3K]

The outer surface of the glass expands faster than the inside surface since glass is a fairly good thermal insulator. The outer surface tries to expand without the inner surface doing so at the same time. This is the secret of Pyrex glass. It is more conductive to heat and the inner and outer surface expand (and contract) at the same time.
