A steel railroad track has a length of 23 m when the temperature is 7◦C. What is the increase in the length of the rail on a hot

day when the temperature is 30 ◦C? The linear expansion coefficient of steel is 11 × 10−6 ( ◦C)−1 . Answer in units of m.

Answer:

5.82 mm

Explanation:

length of the track, L = 23 m

Initial temperature, T = 7 °C

final temperature, T' = 30 °C

Coefficient of linear expansion, α = 11 x 10^-6 / °C

Let the increase in length of the track on the hot day is ΔL.

use the formula of the linear expansion

ΔL = L x α x ΔT

ΔL = L x α x (T' - T)

ΔL = 23 x 11 x 10^-6 x (30 - 7)

ΔL = 5.82 x 10^-3 m

ΔL = 5.82 mm

Thus, the increase in the length of the track is 5.82 mm.

Energy slowly leaks outward through the diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons
stepan [7]

Energy slowly leaks outward through the radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons.

<h3>What is radiative diffusion?</h3>

A radiation zone is a layer of a star's core where energy is mostly carried toward the outside by radiative diffusion and thermal conduction rather than convection.

As photons, energy passes through the radiation zone as electromagnetic radiation.

The radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons progressively drains energy outward.

Hence,radiative diffusion is correct answer.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:No, the slope won't be too steep

Explanation:

Force is an external agency that causes a body to change its position while friction is a force that causes a body to slide over another. This force is called the frictional force (Ff). The force that causes a body to move is the moving force (Fm).

The slope will be too steep if the frictional force is greater than the moving force since the frictional force tends to oppose the moving force.

According to the explanation, we need to get Ff and compare with the moving force along the plane.

If Ff>Fm it means the slope will be too steep but if Ff<Fm, the slope won't be too steep and as such the body can easily be moved along the plane.

Resolving forces acting along the plane we have FmSintheta + Ff = Fm (FmSintheta and Ff are added because they act in the same direction along the plane)

Fm=50N, theta=5°

Imputing this into the formula to get Ff;

50sin5°+Ff =50

Ff= 50-50sin5°

Ff= 50-4.35

Ff= 45.65N

Since Ff<Fm, this means the slope is not too steep and as such the 30kg load can be moved along the plane easily.
