What is meant by the statement,the linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017

An object undergoes two successive displacements:

Gre4nikov [31]

The magnitude of the net displacement is 95.3 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the net displacement, we have to resolve each of the two displacements into the horizontal and vertical direction first.

1st displacement is:

$d_1=79 m$ at $16.9^{\circ}$

So its components are

$d_{1x}=(79)(cos 16.9^{\circ})=75.6 m\\d_{1y}=(79)(sin 16.9^{\circ})=23.0 m$

2nd displacement is:

$d_2=16.7 m$ at $31.1^{\circ}$

So its components are

$d_{2x}=(16.7)(cos 31.1^{\circ})=14.3 m\\d_{2y}=(16.7)(sin 31.1^{\circ})=8.6 m$

Therefore, the x- and y-components of the net displacement are:

$d_x=d_{1x}+d_{2x}=75.6+14.3=89.9 m\\d_y=d_{1y}+d_{2y}=23.0+8.6=31.6 m$

Therefore, the magnitude of the final displacement is:

$d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(89.9)^2+(31.6)^2}=95.3 m$

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration

tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds. Therefore:

$Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}$

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2. The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.

Which landform is produced at location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of

mixer [17]

Answer:

a delta

Explanation:

The landform produced at the location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of Mexico is a delta.

A delta is a depositional landform where a smaller body of water enters into a larger one.

The Gulf of Mexico contains a larger body of water and as the Mississippi river enters into it, it splits up into many distributaries.

So, this feature is a delta.
