Answer:

Contraction of Chicago concrete walkway = 8.64 x 10⁻³ m

Explanation:

Thermal expansion or compression is given by ΔL = LαΔT

Here Length of Chicago concrete walkway, L = 18 m

         Change in temperature, ΔT = (-16 - 24) = -40 °C

         Coefficient of thermal expansion for concrete, α = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Substituting

    ΔL = LαΔT = 18 x 12 x 10⁻⁶ x (-40) = -8.64 x 10⁻³ m

Contraction of Chicago concrete walkway = 8.64 x 10⁻³ m

A girl is whirling a ball on a string around her head in
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The girl whirling the ball should let go off ball when the ball is at a position such that tangent to the circle is in the direction of the target.

the tangent at any point in a circular path indicates the direction of velocity at that point. And the moment when the centripetal force is removed the ball will follow the tangential path at that moment.

Dolphins communicate using compression waves (longitudinal waves). Some of the sounds dolphins make are outside the range of hum
lana66690 [7]

Answer: send the message underwater because a more dense medium would make the sound travel faster.

Explanation:

Dolphins communicate using compression waves - longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves requires a medium to travel. A longitudinal wave transfers energy by the vibration of medium particles in the direction of the wave motion. Compression are the regions where density of the medium is higher and rarefaction is a low density region.

A longitudinal wave travels faster in a denser medium. It has maximum speed in solid and minimum in gas. Thus, to transfer message quickly to dolphin B., dolphin A should send the message underwater and not in air. This is because water has higher density than air. Molecules collide more quickly in water than in air and it takes less time for signal to travel.

Q7) A box sliding with a velocity of 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s^2. How
grigory [225]

Answer:

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that velocity given in statement represents the initial velocity of the box and, likewise, the box accelerates at constant rate. Then, the displacement of the object (\Delta s), in meters, can be determined by the following expression:

\Delta s = v_{o}\cdot t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2} (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

a - Acceleration, in meters per square second.

If we know that v_{o} = 5\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 6\,s and a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the box displacement after 6 seconds is:

\Delta s = 66\,m

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.
