Calculate the change in length of concrete sidewalk (coefficient of linear expansion for concrete is 12*10^-6/celcius) that is 1
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 5.4 cm

Explanation:

This problem refers to calculate the change in length in one dimension due to a change in temperature.

Data

α = 12 x 10⁻⁶

Lo = 150 meters

ΔT = 30 °C

Formula

                    ΔL/Lo = αΔT

solve for ΔL

                    ΔL = αLoΔT

Substitution

                    ΔL = (12 x 10⁻⁶)(150)(30)

Simplification

                    ΔL = 0054 m = 5.4 cm

In our Solar System, the inner planets are rocky because Choose one: A. warm temperatures in the inner disk caused the inner pla
xeze [42]

The inner planets are rocky because The warm temperatures in the inner disk caused the inner planetesimals to be formed of mostly rocky material.

What are rocky planets?

  • Rocky planets are the planet in which constituents are mostly silicate rocks or metal. They are also regarded as a planet with a solid surface.
  • The formation of rocky planets is said to have occurred billions of years ago and its process of formation is termed accretion. Through accretion are its constituents formed as the more it goes bigger, the higher the rising temperature and pressure in its core and the elements which have to undergo accreted heat up, melt, and spread. Through this process, heavier elements go deeper into the core of the planet and lighter elements float toward the surface.
  • In the formation of rocky planets, the inner portions of the disk are said to be warm from the protostar thereby resulting in the production of the heavy elements that stay there.
  • Examples of rocky planets are Earth or Mars

Hence, from the above, we can say that,

The warm temperatures in the inner disk caused the inner planetesimals to be formed of mostly rocky material.

Here,

Option A is correct.

Practical steam engines utilize 450ºC steam, which is later exhausted at 270ºC.
Naily [24]

(a) 0.249 (24.9 %)

The maximum efficiency of a heat engine is given by

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

where

Tc is the low-temperature reservoir

Th is the high-temperature reservoir

For the engine in this problem,

T_C = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K

T_H = 450^{\circ}C+273=723 K

Therefore the maximum efficiency is

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{543}{723}=0.249

(b-c) 0.221 (22.1 %)

The second steam engine operates using the exhaust of the first. So we have:

T_H = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K is the high-temperature reservoir

T_C = 150^{\circ}C+273=423 K is the low-temperature reservoir

If we apply again the formula of the efficiency

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

The maximum efficiency of the second engine is

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{423}{543}=0.221
