Answer:

a)6.318\ \rm m

b144.89^\circ

Explanation:

Given :

  • Length of the aluminium alloy at 16^\circ =L_1=6.3243\ \rm \ m
  • Length of the aluminium alloy at 100^\circ =L_2=6.3568\ \rm \ m

Let \alpha be the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of aluminium alloy

When the temperate of the rod is increased then its length will be changed accordingly. Let l_0 be its length at freezing point of water at T=0^\circ

l_1=l(1+\alpha \Delta T)\\\\\dfrac{l_1}{l}-1=\alpha \Delta T

According to question we have

a)

\dfrac{6.3243}{l}-1=\alpha (16-0)\\\dfrac{6.3568}{l}-1=\alpha (100-0)

Solving above two equations we get

l=6.318\ \rm m

b) Let t^\circ be the temperature of the rod when its length is 6.3689 m then we have

\dfrac{6.3689}{6.2838}-1=\alpha(t-0)

Also we have

\dfrac{6.3243}{6.318}-1=\alpha (16-0)

Solving above two equations we have

t=144.89^\circ

Explain why nuclear fission and nuclear fusion release large amounts of energy
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Because of the formula E=mc^2

Explanation:

In this problem we are describing two different processes:

  • Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei
  • Nuclear fusion occurs when two (or more) light nuclei fuse together producing a heavier nucleus

In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei.

According to Einsten's formula, this mass difference has been converted into energy, as follows:

E=\Delta mc^2

where:

E is the energy released in the reaction

\Delta m is the mass defect, the difference between the final total mass and the initial total mass

c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

From the formula, we see that the factor c^2 is a very large number, therefore even if the mass defect \Delta m is very small, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission release huge amounts of energy.

A crate falls from an airplane flying horizontally at an altitude of 2,000 m.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

20.2 seconds

Explanation:

The airplane (and therefore the crate) initially has no vertical velocity, so v₀ = 0 m/s.

The crate is in free fall, so a = -9.8 m/s².

The crate falls downward, so Δx = -2000 m.

Find: t, the time it takes for the crate to land.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

-2000 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 20.2 s

It takes 20.2 seconds for the crate to land.
