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
Given parameters:
Mass of the car = 1000kg
Unknown:
Height = ?
To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.
Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.
It is mathematically expressed as:
P.E = mgh
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height of the car
Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.
h = 
<u>For 2.0 x 10³ J;</u>
h =
= 0.204m
<u>For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;</u>
h =
= 20.4m
<u>For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J; </u>
h =
= 0.102m
