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

SVEN [57.7K]
One of Kepler's laws is that the orbits of planets are elliptical. It's not a suggestion. BTW, circles are ellipses too, but so special that their likelihood is close to zero.

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.
