Answer:
799.54 ft
Explanation:
Linear thermal expansion is:
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT
where ΔL is the change in length,
α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient,
L₀ is the original length,
and ΔT is the change in temperature.
Given:
α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C
L₀ = 800 ft
ΔT = -17°C − 31°C = -48°C
Find: ΔL
ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (800 ft) (-48°C)
ΔL = -0.4608
Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is -0.46 ft.
Therefore, the final length is approximately 800 ft − 0.46 ft = 799.54 ft.
Power=Work/Time
The work done is the energy required to lift the box, fighting the force of gravity. So, Work=Potential energy of the box at 10 meters.
W=PE=mgh=(60)(9.8)(10)=5880J
Finally,
P=W/T=(5880)/(5)=1176Watt
So the answer is 1176 Watts
Answer:
The force would be the same in both cases - option C.
Explanation:
The change in momentum is known as an impulse. In the two cases under consideration, the change in momentum is the same, thus impulse for both cases is the same.
Impulse is the average force multiplied by time interval.
I = F(average)*ΔT. Where F(average) is the average force and ΔT is the time interval.
The average force in both cases is the same since the collision time is the same.
Thus option C is the correct answer.
