An iron railroad rail is 700 ft long when the temperature is 30°C. What is its length when the temperature is – 10°C?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

699.67ft

Explanation:

We are given with,

  • α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C
  • L₀ = 700 ft
  • ΔT = -10°C − 30°C = -40°C

Now, We have to find ΔL:

  • ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (700 ft) (-40°C)
  • ΔL = −0.336

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is −0.33ft.

<u>Therefore, the final length is approximately 700 ft − 0.33 ft = 699.67ft</u>.

Water, oil and silver are poured into the vessel
taurus [48]

The height of the oil column above the water in the vessel is determined as 2 cm.

<h3>Pressure of the vessel</h3>

The pressure of the vessel due to water, oil and silver poured into the vessel is determined from mercury column.

let level of mercury = 20 cm + 0.5 cm = 20.5 cm

20.5 cmHg = 205 mmHg

1 mmHg = 133.32 Pa

205 mmHg = 27,330.6 Pa

<h3>Height of the liquids in the vessel</h3>

P = ρgh

where;

ρ is the density of water, oil and silver respectively

ρ = 1000 kg/m³ + 881 kg/m³ + 10,800 kg/m³ = 12,681 kg/m³

h = P/(ρg)

h = (27,330.6) / (12,681 x 9.8)

h = 0.22 m

h = 22 cm

<h3>Height of oil column</h3>

Oil is less dense than water and will float on water.

Height of oil column = 22 cm - 20 cm = 2 cm

When the driver presses the brake pedal, his car stops with an acceleration of - 8.7 m/s. How far will the car travel while comi
klemol [59]

Answer:

D. 5.7 m

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car is -8.7 m/s² and the car has an initial speed (u) of 10 m/s. The car said to come to rest, that means that the final velocity (v) of the car is 0 m/s.

To find the distance traveled by the car (s) before complete stop, this equation is being used:

v² = u² + 2as

2as=v^2-u^2\\s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\ Substituting:\\s=\frac{0-10^2}{2*-8.7}\\ s=\frac{-100}{17.4}\\ s=5.7\ m

The car traveled 5.7 m before coming to a complete stop

A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.28 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o
Veseljchak [2.6K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the principle of destructive and constructive interference. Mathematically this expression can be given as

2nt = m\lambda

Here,

n = Index of refraction

t = Thickness

m = Order of the reflection

\lambda = Wavelength

We have all of this values, therefore replacing,

2(1.28)t = (1)(600nm)

t = 233nm    

Therefore the thickness of the oil slick is 233nm

A block with a weight of 620 N is pulled up at a constant speed on a very smooth ramp by a constant force. The angle of the ramp
GuDViN [60]

The work done by the force in pulling the block all the way to the top of the ramp is 3.486 kJ.

<h3>What is work done?</h3>

Work done is equal to product of force applied and distance moved.

Work = Force x Distance

Given is  a block with a weight of 620 N is pulled up at a constant speed on a very smooth ramp by a constant force. The angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is θ = 23.5° and the length of the ramp is l = 14.1 m.

From the Newton's law of motion,

ma =F-mg sinθ =0

So, the force F = mg sinθ

Plug the values, we get

F = 620N x sin 23.5°

F = 247.224 N

Work done by motor is  W= F x d

The force is equal to the weight F = mg

So, W = 247.224 x 14.1

W = 3.486 kJ

Thus, the work done by the force in pulling the block all the way to the top of the ramp is  3.486 kJ.
