Answer:

The carrier lengthen is 0.08436 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 370 m

Initial temperature = 2.0°C

Final temperature = 21°C

We need to calculate the change temperature

Using formula of change of temperature

\Delta T=T_{f}-T_{i}

\Delta T=21-2.0

\Delta T=19^{\circ}C

We need to calculate the carrier lengthen

Using formula of length

\Delta L=\alpha_{steel}\times L_{0}\times\Delta T

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1.2\times10^{-5}\times370\times19

\Delta L=0.08436\ m

Hence, The carrier lengthen is 0.08436 m.

Marina is staring at an optical illusion where he sees a version of the American flag that is colored green, yellow, and black.
k0ka [10]

Explanation:

The reason why Marina sees the colour red, white and blue or the original colour of the American flag is that because of a phenomenon known as Afterimage. The retina in our eyes have mainly three receptors that are colour sensitive known as cones. These receptors can perceive the colour green, red and blue. Now when we look or stare at a particular colour for a long time, what happen is that our retina becomes tired and they ignore the colours that stared at. And now they work to form other colours at the retina just like the way when we produce other colour from the primary colour.

If the red receptor gets exhausted we will see the colour red. Likewise when we see the colour orange when we stare at the colour blue.

This explains the optical illusion of the American flag.

When the current in a toroidal solenoid is changing at a rate of 0.0240 A/s , the magnitude of the induced emf is 12.4 mV . When
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The number of turns in the solenoid is 230.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of change of current, \dfrac{dI}{dt}=0.0240\ A/s

Induced emf, \epsilon=12.4\ mV=12.4\times 10^{-3}\ V

Current, I = 1.5 A

Magnetic flux, \phi=0.00338\ Wb

The induced emf through the solenoid is given by :

\epsilon=L\dfrac{dI}{dt}

or

L=\dfrac{\epsilon}{(di/dt)}........(1)

The self inductance of the solenoid is given by :

L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}.........(2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get :

\dfrac{\epsilon}{(di/dt)}=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}

N is the number of turns in the solenoid

N=\dfrac{\epsilon I}{\phi (dI/dt)}

N=\dfrac{12.4\times 10^{-3}\times 1.5}{0.00338 \times 0.024}

N = 229.28 turns

or

N = 230 turns

So, the number of turns in the solenoid is 230. Hence, this is the required solution.

The picture below shows Lake Jackson in Florida
nikklg [1K]
The reason why Lake Jackson disappeared is A. opening of a sinkhole.
Pollution, high atmospheric temperature, and absorption of water by the land aren't enough for an entire lake to disappear, however, a sinkhole may contribute to that. There are two major depressions (sinkholes) in this lake in Florida, and they even have their own names - Porter Sink and Lime Sink.

Extreme-sports enthusiasts have been known to jump off the top of El Capitan, a sheer granite cliff of height 910 m in Yosemite
german

Answer:

The jumper is in freefall for 12.447 seconds.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating how far the jumper falls.

Initial height (on cliff) = 910 m

Final height after freefall = 150 m

Distance the jumper falls in freefall = 910 - 150 = 760 m

We can now use the equation of motion below to solve for the time:

s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)

here. acceleration = 9.81 m/s   (due to gravity)

initial speed (u) = 0 m/s    (because vertical speed is 0 at the start)

and distance (s) = 760 meters (as calculated above)

So for speed we get:

760=0*t+0.5(9.81*t^2)

760=4.905t^2

t = 12.447 seconds
