Why do tin roofs make creaking sounds on hot days?

2 answers:

8 0

Answer: Yes, on many slate-roofed homes as temperatures change, such as cooling at night or heating during the day, thermal expansion or contraction of the slates may cause movement that in turn causes snapping, popping, or cracking noises, even bangs and clanks or clicks from the roof.

A copper telephone wire has essentially

Lunna [17]

Answer:

128.21 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial temperature (θ₁) = 4 °C

Final temperature (θ₂) = 43 °C

Change in length (ΔL) = 8.5 cm

Coefficient of linear expansion (α) = 17×10¯⁶ K¯¹)

Original length (L₁) =.?

The original length can be obtained as follow:

α = ΔL / L₁(θ₂ – θ₁)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(43 – 4)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(39)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / 39L₁

Cross multiply

17×10¯⁶ × 39L₁ = 8.5

6.63×10¯⁴ L₁ = 8.5

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 8.5 / 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 12820.51 cm

Finally, we shall convert 12820.51 cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

12820.51 cm = 12820.51 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

12820.51 cm = 128.21 m

Thus, the original length of the wire is 128.21 m

A 1500 kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = 0.47. You may want to review (Pages 141 - 145) . Part A How fast was the

shusha [124]

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 1500kg

Coefficient of friction, μk = 0.47

Distance, x = 68m

Speed, s = ?

We know,

$Force, F = ma$

and

F = μ X m X g

Therefore,

μ * m * g = m * a

μ * g = a

Let, g = 9.8m/s²

So,

$a = 0.47 * 9.8 m/s^2$

$a = 4.606m/s^2$

We know,

$v^2 - u^2 = 2as$

where, v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

If the car comes to rest, the final velocity, v becomes 0.

So,

$u^2 = 2 * 4.606 * 68\\\\u^2 = 626.416m/s\\\\u = 25m/s$

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

Temperature and pressure of a region upstream of a shockwave are 295 K and 1.01* 109 N/m². Just downstream the shockwave, the te

seraphim [82]

Answer:

change in internal energy 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Explanation:

adiabatic constant $\gamma =1.4$

specific heat is given as $=\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}$

gas constant =287 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

$Cp = \frac{1.4*287}{1.4-1} = 1004.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}$

specific heat at constant volume

$Cv = \frac{R}{\gamma -1} = \frac{287}{1.4-1} = 717.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}$

change in internal energy $= Cv(T_2 -T_1)$

$\Delta U = 717.5 (800-295) = 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}$

change in enthalapy $\Delta H = Cp(T_2 -T_1)$

$\Delta H = 1004.5*(800-295) = 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}$

change in entropy

$\Delta S =Cp ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1}) -R*ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})$

$\Delta S =1004.5 ln(\frac{800}{295}) -287*ln(\frac{8.74*10^5}{1.01*10^5})$

$\Delta S = 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$

Using the criteria you described in your previous answer, how would you compare solar power to fossil fuel power?

Scilla [17]

Solar power differ to fossil fuel power in that solar power is a much more optimal resource than fossil fuels

Solar power; however provides much more energy than fossil fuel power
Interestingly too, solar power resource can be used without releasing greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels power
Infact, solar energy is the most reliable

<h3>What is renewable energy?</h3>

Renewable energy simply refers to energy that is not depleted when used. An example of such is solar power.

So therefore, solar power differ to fossil fuel power in that solar power is a much more optimal resource than fossil fuels
