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

Find the GCF 12, 18, and 84
ahrayia [7]
To find the answer, plot down the factors for every number.

12:   1, 2 ,3 ,4, 6, 12

18:   1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

84:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12

If you noticed, the number that was common to the 3 numbers, were 1, 2, 3, and 6
And 6 is the bigger number
So 6 is your GCF

Alja [10]

v = v₀ + at

v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time

Given values:

v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 0 + 9.81(3)

v = 29.4m/s

describe an experiment to show how the frequency of a note emitted by a vibrating string depends on the tension of the string
mart [117]
Easy ! 

Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.

The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.

Pluck any string.  Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.

Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.
