Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same len

gth (1.00 m) at 0°C. The coefficients of volume expansion for steel and invar are 3.6 × 10-5 /°C and 2.7 × 10-6 /°C respectively.What is their difference in length, in meters, at 20.5°C ?

Answer:

  • The difference in length for steel is 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m
  • The difference in length for invar is 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

Given;

original length of steel, L₁ = 1.00 m

original length of invar, L₁ = 1.00 m

coefficients of volume expansion for steel, \gamma_{st.} =  3.6 × 10⁻⁵ /°C

coefficients of volume expansion for invar, \gamma_{in.} =  2.7 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

temperature rise in both meter stick, θ = 20.5°C

Difference in length, can be calculated as:

L₂ = L₁ (1 + αθ)

L₂  = L₁ + L₁αθ

L₂  - L₁ = L₁αθ

ΔL = L₁αθ

Where;

ΔL is difference in length

α is linear expansivity = \frac{\gamma}{3}

Difference in length, for steel at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{3.6*10^{-5}}{3} = 1.2*10^{-5} /^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 1.2 x 10⁻⁵ x 20.5 = 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m

Difference in length, for invar at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{2.7*10^{-6}}{3} = 0.9*10^{-6}/^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 0.9 x 10⁻⁶ x 20.5 = 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

What is the mass in kg of a leopard in a tree if the tree branch is 36 m up and the leopard's gravitational potential energy is
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

83.3kg

Explanation:

GPE = m × g × h

GPE = mass of leopard × 10 × 36m

29988J = 360 × mass

mass = 83.3kg

If the photon scatters in the backward direction, what is the magnitude of the linear momentum of the electron just after the co
Strike441 [17]
Momentum is a vector quantity, and is always conserved. Whenever a collision occurs between two objects, the objects behave under the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, if an object moves in the direction opposite to its original direction after a collision, then this indicates that the momentum of the colliding object was greater than the object under consideration.

What device increases voltage?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Your answer would be C.

A step-up transformer is a transformer that raises voltage from main to secondary by having more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns.

Hope this helps; have a great day!

A camera lens with focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2
Brut [27]

Answer:

The minimum distance between two points on the  object that are barely resolved is 0.26 mm

The corresponding distance between the  image points = 0.0015 m

Explanation:

Given  

focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2

s =  9.0 m

aperture = 25 mm = 25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 1.22 *wavelength /D  

Substituting the given values, we get –  

Sin a = 1.22 *600 *10^-9 m /25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 2.93 * 10 ^-5 rad

Now  

Y/9.0 m = 2.93 * 10 ^-5

Y = 2.64 *10^-4 m = 0.26 mm

Y’/50 *10^-3 = 2.93 * 10 ^-5  

Y’ = 0.0015 m
