<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>

What is the study of kinematics based upon ?<br><br>thankyou ~​
NikAS [45]

Kinematics is the study of the motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.

The graph shows the range of frequencies commonly heard by some animals.
Vsevolod [243]

Concept:

Frequency- It is defined as the number of oscillations occur in one second.

Its SI unit is Hertz (Hz)

Given: Produced sound vibrations is 18,500 cycles in 0.75 seconds

∵ In 0.75 second, produced sound has oscillations = 18,500 cycles

∴ In 1.0 second, produced sound has oscillations = (18,500 ÷ 0.75) Hz

The frequency of the sound will be ≈ 24,667 Hz

From the study of the given graph, only the animals (c) Cats, (b) Moths and (a) Bats can hear the produced sound because their upper audible frequency range is greater than 24,667 Hz.

Why do metals make good electrical conductors?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Metals are good conductors of electricity because they contain free electrons in their atoms. The outer shell of atom's of metal have free electrons. These free electrons are responsible of electrical conductivity of metals. These electron are not bounded by the attraction forces of the nucleous. They are free to wonder in lattice of positive ion and thus allow electrical conductivity.

White raven [17]

Answer:

F

Explanation:

The average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time.The average speed is the ratio of total distance and time.Therefore the average speed and average velocity are equal if the total displacement is equal to the total distance that is if the body travels along a straight line without changing the direction.
