Answer:

0.507 m

Explanation:

L = Length of the golden gate bridge = 1300 m

α = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 13 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

T₀ = Lower temperature = 0 °C

T = Higher temperature = 30 °C

ΔL = Change in length of the golden gate bridge

Change in length of the golden gate bridge is given as

ΔL = L α (T - T₀)

ΔL = (1300) (13 x 10⁻⁶) (30 - 0)

ΔL = 0.507 m

Which is not a simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) (a) Simple Pendulum (b) Projectile motion (c) None (d) Spring motion
Scrat [10]

Answer:

b) Projectile MOTION

Explanation:

SHM is periodic motion or to and fro motion of a particle about its mean position in a straight line

In this type of motion particle must be in straight line motion

So here we can say

a) Simple Pendulum : it is a straight line to and fro motion about mean position so it is a SHM

b) Projectile motion : it is a parabolic path in which object do not move to and fro about its mean position So it is not SHM

d) Spring Motion : it is a straight line to and fro motion so it is also a SHM

So correct answer will be

b) Projectile MOTION

Two forces act on an object. The first force has a magnitude of 17.0 N and is oriented 48.0° counterclockwise from the x ‑axis,
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Fn: magnitude of the net force.

Fn=30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis

Explanation:

Components on the x-y axes of the 17 N force(F₁)

F₁x=17*cos48°= 11.38N

F₁y=17*sin48° = 12.63 N

Components on the x-y axes of the  the second force(F₂)

F₂x= −19.0 N

F₂y=   16.5 N

Components on the x-y axes of the net force (Fn)

Fnx= F₁x +F₂x= 11.38N−19.0 N= -7.62 N

Fny= F₁y +F₂y= 12.63 N +16.5 N = 29.13 N

Magnitude of the net force.

F_{n} =\sqrt{(F_{nx})^{2} +(F_{ny}) ^{2} }

F_{n} =\sqrt{(-7.62)^{2} +(29.13) ^{2} }

F_{n} = 30.11N

Direction of the net force (β)

\beta =tan^{-1} (\frac{29.13}{7.62} )

β=75.3°

Magnitude and direction of the net force

Fn= 30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis

In the attached graph we can observe the magnitude and direction of the net force

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike
allsm [11]
<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>
