Answer:

The carrier lengthen by 7.79 × 10⁻² m when it is traveling in the warm Mediterranean Sea at a temperature of 20° C

Explanation:

The initial length of steel (L_0) = 371 m

The change in length = ΔL

The change in temperature (ΔT) = 20°C - 2.5°C = 17.5°C

The coefficient of linear expansion of steel (α) = 12 × 10⁻⁶ ⁰C⁻¹

ΔL = αL₀ΔT = 371 × 17.5 ×  12 × 10⁻⁶ = 7.79 × 10⁻² m

The carrier lengthen by 7.79 × 10⁻² m when it is traveling in the warm Mediterranean Sea at a temperature of 20° C

In Abu Dhabi,UAE which park should I go for cycling and playing
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Nad Al Sheba.

Explanation:

There are quite a few cycling parks in UAE since it's not allowed to cycle on the regular roads. The one I found interesting is Nad Al Sheba. It has a magnificent view of Burj Khalifa and you can see very well downtown of Dubai. It offers an 8 km, 6 km or 4 km paths for people, whether they want to go cycling or running. There are plenty of changing rooms, toilets, lockers and showers alongside the road, which is great for urgent situations or simply if you want to freshen up a bit and rest for a while. When it comes to night cycling or running, it's very bright and beautiful, romantic in a way, but you would still need to use lights on your own bike just to be safe.

As I said, this is my own opinion and if you are looking for something different, you could always ask the locals to help you out.

How does the study of mars and Venus help establish the validity of the greenhouse effect
kipiarov [429]
Venus will help us understand what happens when the greenhouse effect is really extreme but it's not a really good example of what will happen to Earth because of human activities. Life on Earth would completely die due to the extreme temperatures way before reaching even half of the concentrations of carbon dioxide on Venus. Mars doesn’t really have any greenhouse effects. Mars does have some atmospheric carbon dioxide but almost no atmosphere but the atmosphere it does have is so thin that it cannot keep energy from the Sun. That’s why there are extreme temperature contrasts between day and night and sun or shade. However, most scientists say that Mars used to be warmer in and even had oceans, which means that the atmosphere was also very different. About 3600 million years ago, something happened and the planet evolved towards its current state. studying the planet could tell us what could have caused such a huge change
