Answer:

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

Explanation:

Given;

Initial length L1 = 1.2m

Initial temperature T1 = 27°C

Final temperature T2 = 0.0°C

Linear expansion coefficient of brass x = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C

The change i length ∆L;

∆L = L2 - L1

L2 = L1 + ∆L ...........1

∆L = xL1(∆T)

∆L = xL1(T2 - T1) ......2

Substituting the given values into equation 2;

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (0 - 27)

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (- 27)

∆L = -6.156 × 10^-4 m

From equation 1;

L2 = L1 + ∆L

Substituting the values;

L2 = 1.2 m + (- 6.156 × 10^-4 m)

L2 = 1.2 m - 6.156 × 10^-4 m

L2 = 1.1993844 m

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

An object with a mass of 5kg accelerates at 2m/s2. How much force in Newtons(N) is needed to cause this to happen??
Reptile [31]

Answer: The formula of Newtons second law of motion is F=MA so therefore it would be written like this Force = Mass X Acceleration

F = 5 x 2

F = 10 N

Could an<br> average star, such as our<br> sun, become a neutron star?<br> Explain your answer.
larisa86 [58]
<span>No. Neutron stars are the remnants of very large stars that have supernova'd. Anything below 1.44 solar masses becomes a dwarf, anything above 5 solar masses becomes a black hole. Everything in between becomes a neutron star (or quark star, but it's not proven).</span>

The average coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 1.7 10-5 (°c)−1. the statue of liberty is 93 m tall on a summer morning
sammy [17]

Let the rise in temperature be 5^0C

The expansion in length due to change in temperature is given by the expression lαΔt , where l is the length, α is the  coefficient of linear expansion, Δt is the change in temperature.

Here l = 93 m, α = 1.7*10^{-5}  ^0C^{-1}, and Δt = 5^0C

So expansion in length = 93*1.7*10^{-5}*5 = 0.007905 m = 0.79*10^{-3}m

So order of magnitude in change in length = -3

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement d = (23 m) i - (9 m) j along a straight embankment by rushing water, which
Sav [38]

Answer:

Work = 5941 J

Explanation:

As we know that work done is given by the equation

W = F. d

here we know that

F  = (200 N)\hat i - (149 N) \hat j

also we have

d = (23m) \hat i - (9 m)\hat j

now from above formula we have

W = (200 N\hat i - 149 N \hat j).(23 m\hat i - 9m \hat j)

W = 5941 J

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s

v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2
