Answer:
4.163 m
Explanation:
Since the length of the bridge is
L = 380 m
And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is
Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:
where
is the initial length of one span
is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion
is the increase in temperature
Substituting,
By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:
Answer: I think its 120
Explanation: thx for the free points :)
Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.
Answer:
Speed greater than 4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that Ms. Kasper is in a panic. Her cat, Penny, is stuck in a tree and about to jump out. In order to save her cat, Ms. Kasper needs to run to the tree, 12 meters away. If it takes her cat, 3 seconds to fall, how fast would Ms. Kasper have to run to save her cat?
The distance = 12 m
Time = 3s
Speed = distance/time
Speed = 12/3
Speed = 4 m/s
Ms Kasper must run at speed more than 4m/s for her to save the cat.
