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:

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

Assuming the ball's initial velocity was 51 ∘ above the horizontal and ignoring air resistance, what did the initial speed of th

Umnica [9.8K]

horizontal distance of home run is 400 ft = 122 m

height of the home run is 3 ft = 0.9 m

now the angle of the hit is 51 degree

now we have equation of trajectory of the motion

$x = vcos\theta * t$

$y = v sin\theta * t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

solving above two equations we have

$y = xtan\theta - \frac{gx^2}{2v^2cos^2\theta}$

now here we will plug in all data

$0.9 = 122 tan51 - \frac{9.8 * 122^2}{2*v^2 * cos^251}$

$0.9 = 150.65 - \frac{184150.2}{v^2}$

$\frac{184150.2}{v^2} = 149.75$

$v = 35.1 m/s$

<em>so the ball was hit with speed 35.1 m/s from the ground</em>

How are mass, distance and gpe related

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.

The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.

A 29.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal.

castortr0y [4]

The vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the tension.

<h3>How to find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam?</h3>

Let's draw the free body diagram of the system.
To find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam, we have to balance the total vertical force to zero.

$F_V+T sin\alpha -mg=0\\F_V=mg-Tsin\alpha \\$
