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.

Time period of a simple pendulum is measured at Karachi. What change will occur in the time period, if it is measured on mount e
Reil [10]
The period of a pendulum is given by T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} }
since Karachi is near sea level, g is larger than it is on Mt. Everest.  That means the pendulum will have a larger period on Mt. Everest than it would in Karachi.

an electrical generator is an important component in a power plant. which best shows the energy transfer diagram for a generator
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:The answer is B

Explanation:

A generator produces electricity. Energy enters the system (generator) as kinetic energy. It is converted into electrical energy, which can run electrical appliances. Some energy is always wasted as heat and sound. Therefore, Choice B is the best answer.

2. A solenoid. Suppose the south end of a bar magnet was introduced to the right end of this solenoid at a constant velocity. Wh
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2) deflection must be towards the negative side of the voltage.

4) the correct statements are: b and c

Explanation:

2) This question is based on Faraday's law of induction, when we introduce a magnet in a solenoid an induced current is produced that generates a voltage that is given by

           E = - N d \phi_{B} / dt

where \phi_{B} = B. A

The bold are vectors

Therefore, when applying this formula to our case, the induction lines of the magnetic field increase as we approach the solenoid, as the South pole approaches the lines are in the direction of the magnet, therefore the normal to the solenoid that has an outgoing direction and the magnetic field has 180º between them and the cos 180 = -1; consequently the deflection must be towards the negative side of the voltage.

4) From the Faraday equation we can see that the inductive electromotive force depends

* The magnitude of B that changes over time

* The area of ​​the loop that changes over time

* The angle between B and the area that changes over time

* A combination of the above

With this analysis we will review the different alternatives given

a) False. It takes a temporary change and an absolute value of B

b) True. As the speed decreases, the change in B decreases, that is, dB / dt decreases

c) True. The current is induced in each turn, if there is a smaller number the total current will be smaller

d) False. A temporary change of area is needed, in addition to increasing the area the current increases

We can see that the correct statements are: b and c
