Answer:

0.0176m

Explanation:

Given that,

railroad track has a length of 40 m

temperature is T₁ −5 ◦C

temperature is T₂ 35 ◦C

linear expansion coefficient of steel is 11 × 10−6 ( ◦C)−1

Lo = 40 m

T₁ = -5° C

T₂ = 35° C

dT = T₂ - T₁

    = 35 - (-5)

     = 40°C

L = Lo*(1+alpha*dT)

dL = Lo*alpha*dT

dT =  40°C

alpah = 11 x 10⁻⁶

Lo = 40 m

dL = 40 × 11 x 10⁻⁶  × 40

 = 0.0176m

Answer:

ΔL = 0.0176m

Explanation:

We are given;

Length of railroad track; L = 40 m

First Temperature; T1 = −5 ◦C

Second temperature; T2 = 35 ◦C

linear expansion coefficient of steel; α = 11 × 10^(−6) (◦C)^(-1)

The increase in length is given by the equation;

ΔL = α•L•ΔT

Where,

α is linear coefficient

L is length

ΔT is change in temperature.

ΔT = first temperature - Second Temperature

Thus, ΔT = 35 - (-5) = 35 + 5 = 40°C

Thus,plugging in relevant values,

ΔL = α•L•ΔT = 11 × 10^(−6)•40•40

ΔL = 0.0176m

With what tension must a rope with length 3.00 mm and mass 0.105 kgkg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 40.0 HzHz t
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

the tension of the rope is 34.95 N

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 3 m

mass of the rope, m = 0.105 kg

frequency of the wave, f = 40 Hz

wavelength of the wave, λ = 0.79 m

Let the tension of the rope = T

The speed of the wave is given as;

v = f\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\where;\\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length\\\\\mu  = \frac{0.105}{3} = 0.035 \ kg/m\\\\v = f\lambda = 40 \times 0.79 = 31.6 \ m/s\\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\T = v^2 \mu\\\\T = (31.6^2)(0.035)\\\\T = 34.95 \ N

Therefore, the tension of the rope is 34.95 N

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. Throughout all of history

Explanation:

A body of knowledge comprises of a given collection of concepts, activities and terms that represents a professional discipline that is outlined by the associated scholarly society, therefore, scientific knowledge, being comprised of very diverse field of knowledge, with different approaches and  changing understanding is taking as a process of learning about the universe data collection, experimenting analysis and communication with a theme of systems, equilibrium, models and constant change which makes the basis of the body of scientific knowledge to be throughout all of history.
