Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

A bullet is fired with a velocity of 100 m/s from the ground at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal ra
seraphim [82]

1) The horizontal range of the bullet is 884 m

2) The maximum height attained by the bullet is 383 m

Explanation:

1)

The motion of the bullet is a projectile motion, which consists of two separate motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

From the equation of motions along the x- and y- directions, it is possible to find an expression for the horizontal range covered by a projectile, and it is:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial speed of the projectile

\theta is the angle of projection

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

For the bullet in the problem, we have

u = 100 m/s (initial speed)

\theta=60^{\circ} (angle)

Solving the equation, we find the horizontal range:

d=\frac{(100)^2sin(2\cdot 60^{\circ})}{9.8}=884 m

2)

To find the maximum height, we have to analyze the vertical motion of the bullet. We can do it by using the following suvat equation:

v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as

where

v_y is the vertical velocity of the bullet after having covered a vertical displacement of s

u_y is the initial vertical velocity

a =-g= is the acceleration (negative, since it points downward)

The vertical component of the initial velocity is given by

u_y = u sin\theta

Also, the maximum height s is reached when the vertical velocity becomes zero,

v_y =0

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging for s, we find the maximum height:

s=\frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{2g}=\frac{(100)^2(sin 60^{\circ})^2}{2(9.8)}=383 m

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

the signs of heat and work are; -Q and -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is given by; ΔU = Q − W

where;

ΔU is the change in internal energy of a system,

Q is the net heat transfer (the sum of all heat transfer into and out of the system)

W is the net work done (the sum of all work done on or by the system).

Now, The system in this case is the tire and since the air gets warmer, heat must have left the system. Therefore Q is negative (-Q).

Since work is done by the system, W remains negative.

Thus, the signs of heat and work are; -Q and - W

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson needs to escape from the fourth floor of a burning building (in a movie). He ties a rope around his wa
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s

Explanation:

Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N

Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N

Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N

Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:

787.58 = 63 x acceleration

acceleration = 12.501 m/s

Finally, we can use the motion equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)

a = 12.501 m/s

and s = 10 m

Solving this we get:

v^2 - 0 = 2 * 12.501 * 10

v = 15.812 m/s

Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at            15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.
