Answer:
19.68 × 10⁻³ m
Explanation:
Given;
Original Length, L₁ = 41.0 m
Temperature Change, ΔT = 40.0°C
Thermal Linear expansion of steel is given to be, ∝
= 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C
Generally, Linear expansivity is expressed as;
∝ = ΔL / L₁ΔT
Where
∝ is the Linear expansivity
ΔL is the change in length, L₂ - L₁
L₂ is the final length
L₁ is the original length
ΔT is the change in temperature θ₂ - θ₁ (Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)
From equation of linear expansivity
ΔL = ∝
L₁ΔT
ΔL = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C × 41.0 m × 40.0 °C
ΔL = 19.68 × 10⁻³ m
ΔL = 19.68 mm
Initial speed of the car (u) = 15 m/s
Final speed of the car (v) = 0 m/s (Car comes to a complete stop after driver applies the brake)
Distance travelled by the car before it comes to halt (s) = 63 m
By using equation of motion, we get:

Acceleration of the car (a) = -1.78 m/s²
Magnitude of the car's acceleration (|a|) = 1.78 m/s²
Does it give you options?
Power = (voltage) x (current)
100w = 220v x current
Current = 100w / 220v = <u>0.455 Ampere</u> (rounded)
