 The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK 
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC 
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK 
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK 
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m 
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m

Sound travels about 750 miles per hour. if you stand in a canyon and sound a horn, you will hear an echo. suppose it takes about
diamong [38]
The answer to this question would be:3850ft

To answer this question, you need to convert the speed velocity from miles/hour into feet/second. The equation would be: 750 miles/hour x 5280 foot/mile x 1 hour/3600second = 1100 ft/s
Then multiply the time with the velocity= 3.5 second x 1100 ft/s= 3850ft

A train travels 77 kilometers in 1 hour, and the 66 kilometers in 1 hour. What is the average speed?
Kipish [7]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (77km + 66km) = 143 kilometers

Time to cover the distance = 2 hours

Average speed = (143 km) / (2 hours) =  71.5 km per hour

Explain why a battery causes charge to flow spontaneously when the battery is inserted in a circuit
deff fn [24]
Batteries supply electrons to the circuit by releasing negatively charged atoms or ions. These ions are produced by the batteries through a chemical reaction that spontaneously occurs within the battery. So the negative end of the battery pushes the ions towards the positive end of the circuit with the help of the voltage. This is why eventually, batteries "run out" when the electrode is used up and the chemical reaction can no longer continue.
