Two concrete spans of a 250-m-long bridge are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion. If a temperature incre

ase of 20.0C occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle?

Answer:

  y = 2.74 m

Explanation:

The linear thermal expansion processes are described by the expression

         ΔL = α L ΔT

Where α the thermal dilation constant for concrete is 12 10⁻⁶ºC⁻¹, ΔL is the length variation and ΔT the temperature variation in this case 20ªc

If the bridge is 250 m long and is covered by two sections each of them must be L = 125 m, let's calculate the variation in length

        ΔL = 12 10⁻⁶ 125 20

        ΔL = 3.0 10⁻² m

Let's use trigonometry to find the height

The hypotenuse     Lf = 125 + 0.03 = 125.03 m

Adjacent leg           L₀ = 125 m

       cos θ = L₀ / Lf

       θ = cos⁻¹ (L₀ / Lf)

       θ = cos⁻¹ (125 / 125.03)

       θ = 1,255º

We calculate the height

       tan 1,255 = y / x

       y = x tan 1,255

       y = 125 tan 1,255

       y = 2.74 m

A block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.32 m/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring and co
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given time is 1 / 4 of the time period

So Time period  of oscillation.

= 4 x .4 =1.6 s

When the block reaches back its original position when it came in contact with the spring for the first time , the block and the spring will have maximum

velocity. After that spring starts unstretching , reducing its speed , so block loses contact as its velocity is not reduced .

So required velocity is the maximum velocity of the block while remaining in contact with the spring.

v ( max ) = w A = 1.32  m /s.

Find the energy released when there is a decrease of 0.3kg of material in a nuclear reaction
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

E = 2.7 x 10¹⁶ J

Explanation:

The release of energy associated with the mass can be calculated by Einstein's mass-energy relation, as follows:

E = mc^2

where,

E = Energy Released = ?

m = mass of material reduced = 0.3 kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (0.3\ kg)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2

<u>E = 2.7 x 10¹⁶ J</u>

What affects a material’s resistance?
Keith_Richards [23]
Many things can affect a material's resistance, The type of material, how the material is being held (If its laying flat, being pulled, etc). What the material is used for, and how much material there is. Hope this helps!
