Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h

eld fixed. What would the difference in the length of the bridge be between winter and summer, taking a typical winter temperature as 0°C, and a typical summer temperature as 40°C? The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is 10.5 × 10-6 K-1.

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion \alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T

Where, \Delta T= temperature difference

\alpha=Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})

\Delta L=0.42\ m

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

What is the relation between inertia and mass?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass. Mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object. The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has. A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.

A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +
SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are V_a and V_b respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

V_{ba}=V_b-V_a

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}

calculate the distance a plane flies on a 7.95 hour flight from Chicago to London. Assume a constant speed of 800.0 km/h
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

6360 km

Explanation:

Use the kinematics equation x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2.  We are given t = 7.95 hours and a = 0 m/s^2 (constant speed means there is no acceleration).  Solve for x.

x=(800)(7.95)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(7.95^2)\\x=6360 \ km

What is the power output of a pump which can raise 60kg of water height to height of 10m every minute
sattari [20]

Answer:

<h3>Power = Work Done/time</h3>

=> Power = 60×10×10/60

=> Power = 6000/60

=> Power = 100 Watt

Hence the power output of a pump is 100 Watts.
