Why does aluminum expand more than copper

2 answers:

5 0

It expands more because some metals expand more than others due to differences in the forces between the atoms / molecules. In metals such as iron the forces between the atoms are stronger so it is more difficult for the atoms to move around . In brass the forces are a little weaker so the atoms are free to move about more. Same for aluminum and copper. Hope this helps.

<h3>For common materials like many metals and compounds, the thermal expansion coefficient is inversely proportional to the melting point. Copper’s melting point is less than iron’s, so its thermal expansivity is greater.</h3>

Comparing X-ray to radio wave, which has a shorter wavelength?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

x-ray

Explanation:

X-rays can penetrate through matter because of their high frequencies while radio waves are not able to do so as much. If you think about it, taking an x-ray requires a lot more energy than for radio waves to allow you to listen to songs on the radio. Hope this helps :)

A spaceship negotiates a circular turn of radius 2925 km at a speed of 29960 km/h. (a) What is the magnitude of the angular spee

emmainna [20.7K]

a) 0.0028 rad/s

b) $23.68 m/s^2$

c) $0 m/s^2$

Explanation:

When an object is in circular motion, the angular speed of the object is the rate of change of its angular position. In formula, it is given by

$\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

t is the time interval

The angular speed of an object in circular motion can also be written as

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$ (1)

where

v is the linear speed of the object

r is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in this problem we have:

$v=29,960 km/h$ is the linear speed, converted into m/s,

$v=8322 m/s$

$r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius of the orbit

Subsituting into eq(1), we find the angular speed of the spaceship:

$\omega=\frac{8322}{2.925\cdot 10^6}=0.0028 rad/s$

When an object is in circular motion, its direction is constantly changing, therefore the object is accelerating; in particular, there is a component of the acceleration acting towards the centre of the orbit: this is called centripetal acceleration, or radial acceleration.

The magnitude of the radial acceleration is given by

$a_r=\omega^2 r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

$r$ is the radius of the orbit

For the spaceship in the problem, we have

$\omega=0.0028 rad/s$ is the angular speed

$r=2925 km = 2.925\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius of the orbit

Substittuing into the equation above, we find the radial acceleration:

$a_r=(0.0028)^2(2.925\cdot 10^6)=23.68 m/s^2$

When an object is in circular motion, it can also have a component of the acceleration in the direction tangential to its motion: this component is called tangential acceleration.

The tangential acceleration is given by

$a_t=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in the linear speed

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

In this problem, the spaceship is moving with constant linear speed equal to

$v=8322 m/s$

Therefore, its linear speed is not changing, so the change in linear speed is zero:

$\Delta v=0$

And therefore, the tangential acceleration is zero as well:

$a_t=\frac{0}{\Delta t}=0 m/s^2$

The horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, so it consists of two independent motions:

A uniform motion along the horizontal (x) direction
A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical (y) direction

We start by calculating the time of flight of the ball. This can be done by analyzing the vertical motion. We can use the following suvat equation:

$s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where:

s = -16.5 m is the vertical displacement of the ball (it is negative because we take upward as positive direction)

$u_y$ is the initial vertical velocity of the ball, which is given by

$u_y = u sin \theta$

where

u = 23.5 m/s is the initial velocity

$\theta=33.5^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

Substituting,

$u_y=(23.5)(sin 33.5^{\circ})=13.0 m/s$

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, downward

Substituting everything into the equation we get:

$-16.5=13.0t-4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-13.0t-16.5=0$

Solving the equation for t, we find the time of flight of the ball:

t = -0.94 s

t = 3.59 s

We ignore the 1st solution since it is negative, so the ball reaches the water after 3.59 seconds.

Now we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. The horizontal velocity is constant and it is:

$v_x=u cos \theta=(23.5)(cos 33.5^{\circ})=19.6 m/s$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

And substituting t = 3.59 s, we find

$d=(19.6)(3.59)=70.4 m$

So, the horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m.
