Answer:

The coefficient of thermal expansion tells us how much a material can expand due to heat.

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when a material is subjected to heat and changes it's shape, area and volume as a result of that heat. How much that material changes is dependent on it's coefficient of thermal expansion.

Different materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion (i.e. It is a material property and differs from one material to the next). It is important to understand how materials behave when heated, especially for engineering applications when a change in dimension might pose a problem or risk (eg. building large structures).

The volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula

saw5 [17]

The expression of V(m³)=e^(t(s)) to make V in in³ and t in minutes is;

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)a $e^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)$

We are given that;

Volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula;

V = e^(t)

where;

t is in seconds

V is in m³

We want to now express V in in³ and t in minutes.

Now, from conversions;

1 m³ = 61024 in³

Also; 1 second = 1/60 minutes

according to formula for exponential decay, we know that;

V = ae^(bt)

Thus, we have;

61024V = ae^(¹/₆₀b(t(h))

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)a $e^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)$

A 11.5 nC charge is at x = 0cm and a -1.2 nC charge is at x = 3 cm ..At what position or positions on the x-axis is the electric

diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$q_1=11.5\ nC$ charge is placed at $x=0\ cm$

another charge of $q_2=-1.2\ nC$ is at $x=3\ cm$

We know that Electric field due to positive charge is away from it and Electric field due to negative charge is towards it.

so net electric field is zero somewhere beyond negatively charged particle

Electric Field due to $q_2$ at some distance r from it

$E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}$

Now Electric Field due to $q_1$ is

$E_1=\frac{kq_1}{(3+r)^2}$

Now $E_1+E_2=0$

$\frac{k\times 11.5}{(r+3)^2}\frac{k\times (-1.2)}{r^2}=0$

$\frac{3+r}{r}=(\frac{11.5}{1.2})^{0.5}$

$\frac{3+r}{r}=3.095$

thus $r=1.43\ cm$

Thus Electric field is zero at some distance r=1.43 cm right of $q_2$

A completely reversible heat pump produces heat ata rate of 300 kW to warm a house maintained at 24°C. Theexterior air, which is

Triss [41]

Answer:

Change in entropy S = 0.061

Second law of thermodynamics is satisfied since there is an increase in entropy

Explanation:

Heat Q = 300 kW

T2 = 24°C = 297 K

T1 = 7°C = 280 K

Change in entropy =

S = Q(1/T1 - 1/T2)

= 300(1/280 - 1/297) = 0.061

There is a positive increase in entropy so the second law is satisfied.

The size of Carvins Cove water reservoir is 3.2 billion gallons. Approximately, 11 cfs of water is continuous withdrawn from thi

Zolol [24]

Answer:

471 days

Explanation:

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir = 3.2 billion gallons i.e. 3.2 x 10˄9 gallons

As,

1 gallon = 0.133 cubic feet (cf)

Therefore,

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir in cf = 3.2 x 10˄9 x 0.133

= 4.28 x 10˄8

Applying Mass balance i.e

Accumulation = Mass In - Mass out (Eq. 01)

Here

Mass In = 0.5 cfs

Mass out = 11 cfs

Putting values in (Eq. 01)

Accumulation = 0.5 - 11

= - 10.5 cfs

Negative accumulation shows that reservoir is depleting i.e. at a rate of 10.5 cubic feet per second.

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per hour = 10.5 x 3600

= 37,800

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per day = 37, 800 x 24

= 907,200

i.e. 907,200 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1 day

1 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1/907,200 day

4.28 x 10˄8 cubic feet volume will deplete in days = (4.28 x 10˄8) x 1/907,200

= 471 Days.

Hence in case of continuous drought reservoir will last for 471 days before dry-up.
