Why does aluminum expand more than copper

Physics
2 answers:
lapo4ka [179]3 years ago

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>

EM waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields moving perpendicular with respect to each other. What kind of wave is
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves don't depend on the medium they travel through like a mechanical wave does, so they aren't mechanical. They don't oscillate (move back in forth) in the direction they travel either, ruling out compressional and longitudinal waves.

That leaves tranverse waves, the ones we're most used to, since they look very "wavelike," with smooth peaks and valleys. Electromagnic waves behave like these, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction they're traveling in.

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?
Goshia [24]
To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

An airplane flies in a horizontal circle of radius 500 m at a speed of 150 m/s. If the radius were changed to 1000 m, but the sp
laila [671]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

Explanation:

Given;

first radius of the horizontal circle, r₁ = 500 m

speed of the airplane, v = 150 m/s

second radius of the airplane, r₂ = 1000 m

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

At constant speed, we will have;

v^2 =ar\\\\v = \sqrt{ar}\\\\at \ constant\ v;\\\sqrt{a_1r_1} = \sqrt{a_2r_2}\\\\a_1r_1 = a_2r_2\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1r_1}{r_2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1*500}{1000}\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1}{2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{2} a_1

a₂ = 0.5a₁

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

You do 45.0 joules of work and 3.00 seconds how much power do you use​
Arada [10]

Answer:

15 watt

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

This means you divide the work done with the amount of time used to perform the work.

The formula for Power is : P = W/t  where;

W= work done in J = 45

t= time in seconds = 3 sec

P= 45/ 3 = 15 watt
