Answer: (b)0.000012/k

Explanation:

The linear expansion of the metal rod is given by

$\Delta L= L_0 \alpha \Delta T$

where

$\Delta L=0.090 cm$ is the linear expansion

$L_0 = 80 cm$ is the initial length of the rod

$\alpha$ is the linear expansivity

$\Delta T=93.6^{\circ}C=93.6 K$ is the increase in temperature

By re-arranging the equation, we find the linear expansivity:

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0 \Delta T}=\frac{0.090 cm}{(80 cm)(93.6K)}=0.000012 K^{-1}$

As the shuttle bus comes to a sudden stop to avoid hitting a dog, it accelerates uniformly at -4.1 m/s^2 as it slows from 9.0 m/

zhuklara [117]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

- 4.1 m/s² = (-9 m/s) / (time for the change)

Time for the change = (-9 m/s) / (-4.1 m/s²) = 2.2 seconds

A metal disk of radius 6.0 cm is mounted on a frictionless axle. Current can flow through the axle out along the disk, to a slid

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.09 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of disk,r=6 cm= $\frac{6}{100}=0.06 m$

1 m=100 cm

B=1 T

Current,I=3 A

We have to find the frictional force at the rim between the stationary electrical contact and the rotating rim.

$dF=IBdr$

$\tau=rdF=IBrdr$

$\tau=\int_{0}^{R}IBr dr$

$\tau=IB(\frac{R^2}{2}$

Torque due to friction

$\tau=R\times F$

Where friction force=F

$R\times F=\frac{IBR^2}{2}$

$F=\frac{IBR}{2}$

Substitute the values

$F=\frac{3\times 1\times 0.06}{2}$

$F=0.09 N$

A moonshiner makes the error of filling a glass jar to the brim and capping it tightly. The moonshine expands more than the glas

ohaa [14]

Answer:

ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)

Explanation:

Given:-

- The volume increase, ΔV/V0 = 4 ✕ 10^-3

- The Bulk Modulus, B = 1.6*10^9 N/m^2

Find:-

Calculate the force exerted by the moonshine per square centimeter

Solution:-

- The bulk modulus B of a material is dependent on change in pressure or Force per unit area and change in volume by the following relationship.

B = ΔP / [(ΔV/V)]

- Now rearrange the above relation and solve for ΔP or force per unit area.

ΔP = B* [(ΔV/V)]

- Plug in the values:

ΔP = (1.6*10^9)*(4 ✕ 10^-3)

ΔP = 6400000 N/m^2

- For unit conversion from N/m^2 to N/cm^2 we have:

ΔP = (6400000 N/m^2) cm^2 / (100)^2 m^2

ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)

Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. He bought three identical plants and gave plant 1 fertilizer every mo

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.

Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.
