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

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.

Neko [114]

In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
$\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }$

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
$P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1} T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289} =42.21 psi$

In rules for naming a compound you change the negative name to end in" ide" *

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Single-atom negative ions end in “-ide”, so binary compounds always have this ending. Polyatomic compounds usually end in “-ate” or “-ite”. FORMULAS: Write the positive ion, with its charge, then the negative ion, with its charge.

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

$2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.756$

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

$\lambda = 675 nm$

now we have

$2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}$

$t = 96.1 nm$

A uniform disk with a mass of 5.0 kg and diameter 30 cm rotates on a frictionless fixed axis through its center and perpendicula

igomit [66]

Answer:

Angular acceleration of the disk will be $\alpha =10.714rad/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the disk m = 5 kg

Diameter of the disk d = 30 cm = 0.3 m

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.3}{2}=0.15m$

Moment of inertia of disk is given by $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 0.15^2=0.056kgm^2$

Force is given by F=4 N

Torque is given as $\tau =Fr=4\times 0.15=0.6N-m$

We also know that torque is given by $\tau =I\alpha$

$0.6=0.056\times \alpha$

$\alpha =10.714rad/sec^2$
