Answer:

1) 0.1584 m

2) To allow for expansion without derailment

3) 0.101376 m

4) 213.675 °C

5) 266.67 m

6) 8.33 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

7) The alloy meets the requirement

8) 1.95 × 10⁻³ /°C

9) 32.095 m

10) -12157.72°C

Explanation:

1) Equation for the coefficient of linear expansion = \frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha _L \Delta T

Where:

ΔL = Change in length = Required

L = Initial length = 1.32 × 10⁴ m

\alpha _L = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

ΔT = Change in temperature = 37°C - 27°C = 10°C

Plugging the values in the equation for the temperature expansion of steel, we have m;

ΔL = L × \alpha _L ×ΔT = 1.32 × 10⁴ × 12 × 10⁻⁶ × 10  = 0.1584 m

2. Here we have that by segmenting railroad tracks into short pieces, the expansion of the metal tracks with temperature can be absorbed by the gaps between the segment without distorting the shape and direction (pattern) of the tracks

3. Here we have;

\alpha _L = Coefficient of linear expansion of iron = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

ΔT = Temperature change = 27°C - 3°C = 24°C

L = Height of the Eiffel Tower = 352 meters

∴ ΔL = L × \alpha _L ×ΔT = 352 × 12 × 10⁻⁶ × 24 = 0.101376 m

Therefore, the height of the Eiffel Tower changes from 352 m to about 352.101376 m each year, with an average change in height experienced each year = 0.101376 m

4. Here, we have

L = 13.0 ft

ΔL = 1 in.

\alpha _L = 30 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

ΔT = Required temperature change

From  \frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha _L \Delta T

\Delta T =\frac{\Delta L}{L \times  \alpha _L} = \frac{1}{156 \times 30 \times 10^{-6}} = 213.675^{\circ}C

5. Here, we have;

L = \frac{\Delta L}{\alpha _L \Delta T}

∴ L = 1/(150×25 × 10⁻⁶) = 266.67 m

The bars original length = 266.67 m

6. Here we have;

\alpha _L = \frac{\Delta L}{L \times \Delta T}

Where:

ΔL = 3.00 - 3.002 = 0.002 m

L = 3.00 m

ΔT = 110°C - 30°C = 80°C

∴ \alpha _L = 0.002/(3.00 × 80) = 8.33 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

7. Here we have;

ΔL = L × \alpha _L ×ΔT = 3 × 8.33 × 10⁻⁶ × 210 = 0.00525 m

Therefore, final length = 3.00 m + 0.00525 m = 3.00525 m

Since 3.00525 m < 3.017 m hence the alloy meets the requirement.

8. Here, we have

L = 3.2 m

ΔL = 0.5 m

ΔT = 84°C - 24°C = 60°C

∴ \alpha _L = 0.5/(3.2 × 60) = 1.95 × 10⁻³ /°C

The coefficient of linear expansion of the material from which the rod is made = 1.95 × 10⁻³ /°C

9. Here, we have

Length of steel girder, L = 32.10 m

ΔT = 8°C - 22°C = -14°C

\alpha _L = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

ΔL = L × \alpha _L ×ΔT

Hence ΔL = 32.1 × 12 × 10⁻⁶× -14 = -0.0054 m

New length = 32.1 - 0.0054 = 32.095 m

10. Here we have;

ΔL = 92.6 cm - 123 cm  = -30.4 cm

\alpha _L = 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ /°C

L = 123 cm

∴ \Delta T =\frac{\Delta L}{L \times  \alpha _L} = \frac{-30.4}{123 \times 2.0 \times 10^{-5}} = -12357.724^{\circ}C

Therefore, the temperature will be 200 - 12357.724 = -12157.72°C.

omeli [17]
We can use the equation vf (the final velocity) =vi (the initial velocity) +at (aceleration times time)

We know the final velocity 100m/s, the initial velocity 0, and the acceleration (gravity) 9.8m/s^2. So, 100=0+9.8t. t=100/9.8

A cube has a drag coefficient of 0.8. What would be the terminal velocity of a sugar cube 1 cm on a side in air ( = 1.2 kg/mº)?
anzhelika [568]

0.495 m/s

Explanation

the formula for the terminal velocity is given by:

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ \text{where} \\  \end{gathered}

m is the mass

g is 9.81 m/s²

ρ is density

A is area

C is the drag coefficient

then

Step 1

Let's find the mass

\begin{gathered} \sigma=\frac{m}{v} \\ m=\sigma\cdot v \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(0.01m)^3 \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(1\cdot10^{-6}) \\ \text{mass}=2\cdot10^{-3}\operatorname{kg} \\ \text{mass}=0.002\text{ kg } \\ \text{Area}=(0.01\text{ m}\cdot0.01m)=0.0001m^2 \end{gathered}

now, replace

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2(0.002kg)(9.81\text{ }\frac{m}{s^2})}{(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})(0.0001m^2)0.8}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.03924\frac{\operatorname{kg}m}{s^2}}{0.16\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^{}}}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{0.2452\frac{m^2}{s^2}} \\ v=0.495\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

hence, the answer is 0.495 m/s

Use a(t) = -32 feet per second per second as the acceleration due to gravity. (Neglect air resistance.) -With what initial veloc
Kitty [74]

Answer:

u= 187.61 ft/s

Explanation:

Given that

g= - 32 ft/s²

The maximum height ,h= 550 ft

Lets take the initial velocity = u ft/s

We know that

v²=u² + 2 g s

v=final speed ,u=initial speed ,s=height

When the object reach at the maximum height then the final speed of the object will become zero.

That is why

u²= 2 x 32 x 550

u²= 35200

u= 187.61 ft/s

That is why the initial speed will be 187.61 ft/s
