What is a linear motion

1 answer:

4 0

Linear motion (also called rectilinear motion) is a motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension.

What does the geology of the two continents indicate about past events in Earth history?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rocks tell us a great deal about the Earth's history. Igneous rocks tell of past volcanic episodes and can also be used to age-date certain periods in the past. Sedimentary rocks often record past depositional environments (e.g deep ocean, shallow shelf, fluvial) and usually contain the most fossils from past ages.

An Olympic track runner starts from rest and has an acceleration of 2.4 m/s2 for 3.6 s, then has zero acceleration for the remai

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The runner's speed at the following times would remain 8.64 m/s.

Explanation:

Acceleration definition: Acceleration is rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time.

In this case, after 3.6 seconds the acceleration is zero, it means that the velocity of the runner after 3.6 seconds is not changing and it will remain constant for the remainder of the race. Now, we have to find the velocity of the runner that he had after 3.6 seconds and that would be the runner's speed for the remainder of the race. For this we use first equation of motion.

First equation of motion: Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf stands for final velocity

Vi stands for initial velocity

a stands for acceleration

t stands for time

In the question, it is mentioned that the runner starts from rest so its initial velocity (Vi) will be 0 m/s.

The acceleration (a) is given as 2.4 m/s²

The time (t) is given as 3.6 s

Now put the values of Vi, a and t in first equation of motion

Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf = 0 + 2.4×3.6

Vf = 2.4×3.6

Vf = 8.64 m/s

So,the runner's speed at the following times would remain 8.64 m/s.

A helium balloon has a pressure of 40 psi at 20°C. What will the pressure be at 40°C? Assume constant volume and mass.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

P V = N R T ideal gas equation

P2 / P1 = T2 / T1 where the other variables are constant

P2 = (T2 / T1) * P1 = (313 / 293) * 40 psi = 42.7 psi

At 20 C, a steel rod of length 40.000 cm and a brass rod

balandron [24]

Answer:

a. stress in steel rod is -9.6 X 10⁷pa while stress in brass rod is -7.2 X 10⁷pa

b. new junction from steel rod is 40.0192cm while new junction from brass rod is 30.024cm

Explanation:

Step 1: identify the given parameters and standard parameters

⇒Steel rod: length of rod = 40.000 cm

Young modulus(Υ) = 20 X 10¹⁰ pa

coefficient of linear expansion(α) = 1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

stress in the rod =?

⇒Brass rod: length of rod = 30.000 cm

Young modulus(Υ) = 9 X 10¹⁰ pa

coefficient of linear expansion(α) = 2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

stress in the rod =?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: calculate the stress in each rod

⇒Steel rod: stress in the rod = -Y*α*ΔT

= (-20 X 10¹⁰ pa) (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(60-20)K

= (-20 X 10¹⁰ pa) (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40)K

= -9.6 X 10⁷ pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒Brass rod: stress in the rod = -Y*α*ΔT

= (-9 X 10¹⁰ pa) (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(60-20)K

= (-9 X 10¹⁰ pa) (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40)K

= -7.2 X 10⁷ pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

∴ stress in steel rod is -9.6 X 10⁷pa while stress in brass rod is -7.2 X 10⁷pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: calculate the new length of each rod

⇒Steel rod: New length = ΔL + L₀

ΔL = α*L₀*ΔT

ΔL = (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40cm)(40)K

ΔL = 1920 X 10⁻⁵ cm = 0.0192cm

New length = ΔL + L₀ = 0.0192cm + 40cm

New length = 40.0192cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒Brass rod: New length = ΔL + L₀

ΔL = α*L₀*ΔT

ΔL = (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(30cm)(40)K

ΔL = 2400 X 10⁻⁵ cm = 0.024cm

New length = ΔL + L₀ = 0.024cm + 30cm

New length = 30.024cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, new junction from steel rod is 40.0192cm while new junction from brass rod is 30.024cm
