To solve this problem we apply the thermodynamic equations of linear expansion in bodies.

Mathematically the change in the length of a body is subject to the mathematical expression

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

Where,

L_0 = Initial Length

\alpha = Thermal expansion coefficient

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Since we have values in different units we proceed to transform the temperature to degrees Celsius so

0\°F \Rightarrow (0-32)*\frac{5}{9} = -17.77\°C

103\°F \Rightarrow (103-32)*(\frac{5}{9})= 39.44\°C

The coefficient of thermal expansion given is

\alpha = 1.1*10^{-5}/\°C

The initial length would be,

L_0 = 565m

Replacing we have to,

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

\Delta L = (565)(1.1*10^{-5})(39.44-(-17.77))

\Delta L = (565)(1.1*10^{-5})(39.44-(-17.77))

\Delta L = 0.355m

This means that the building will be 35.5cm taller

Identify the following terms:
anastassius [24]

Answer:

atom -
the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.

atomic mass-
the quantity of matter contained in an atom of an element

atomic weight -
ratio of the average mass of a chemical element's atoms to some standard

protons-
stable subatomic particle that has a positive charge equal in magnitude to a unit of electron charge and a rest mass of 1.67262 × 10−27 kg

electrons-
a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids

neutrons-
a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

energy levels-
one of the stable states of constant energy that may be assumed by a physical system  
[used especially of the quantum states of electrons in atoms and of nuclei. — called also energy state.]

Covalent bonds

the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms.

ionic bonds
type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.

Valence electrons
a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.

Lewis Dot Diagram
A way of representing atoms or molecules by showing electrons as dots surrounding the element symbol. One bond is represented as two electrons.

In lightning , light is seen first and sound is heard later it is due to
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

option 4

Explanation:

Light's velocity in air ( 3 × 10^8 m/s ) is much greater than sound's velocity in air ( 343 m/s )

Hence due to difference in velocities , during lightning light is seen first & sound is heard later
