<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>

Answer:

1. F and G.

2. D

3. A and E.

4. B

5. C

Explanation:

1. Acceleration: An increase in a body's velocity. An increase in a body's speed.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

2. Kinematics: a study of moving bodies i.e physical objects in motion.

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

3. Inertia: A tendency of a body to keep moving. A state of balance of forces on a body and the body remains either at rest or in uniform motion.

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

4. Velocity: Fastness and direction of a body.

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

5. Reaction: an opposite force.

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move, etc.

What is the instantaneous velocity of the hummingbird at t=1s?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The distance - time graph of the humming bird is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the attached graph, at time t = 1 s, the corresponding distance is 0.5 m.

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at that point.

Thus;

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5/1

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be c = 299,792,458 m/s = 1 μ0ε0 . The permeability constant of vacuum is defined to b
Radda [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The speed of light in vacuum is, c = 299,792,458 m/s

The permeability constant of vacuum is, \mu_o=4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2

Let \epsilon_o is the permittivity of free space. The relation between \mu_o,\epsilon_o\ and\ c is given by :

c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o\epsilon_o}}

\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{c^2u_o}

\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{(299792458\ m/s)^2\times 4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2}

\epsilon_o=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ C^2/N.m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.
