Answer:

0.001152m

Explanation:

Linear expansivity of a material is the change in length of the material per unit length per degree rise in temperature. Mathematically,

¢ = ∆L/L1∆°C

¢ is the linear expansivity of the material = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Where ∆L is the change in length = L2-L1

L2 is the final length = ?

L1 is the initial length = 12m

∆°C is the change in temperature = °C2 - °C1 = 50-(-30) = 80°C

Substituting this values inside the formula to get the final length L2 after expansion, we have;

12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ = L2-12/12×80

12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ = L2-12/960

L2-12= 960×12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

L2-12 = 0.001152

L2 = 12+0.001152

L2 = 12.001152m

Expansion will be the change in length L2-L1 = 12.001152-12

= 0.001152m

The expansion cracks between the slabs should be 0.001152m wide to prevent buckling

Find the object's speeds v1, v2, and v3 at times t1=2.0s, t2=4.0s, and t3=13s.
Burka [1]
Since this is a distance/time graph, the speed at any time is the slope
of the part of the graph that's directly over that time on the x-axis.

At time  t1 = 2.0 s
That's in the middle of the first segment of the graph,
that extends from zero to 3 seconds.
Its slope is  7/3 .              v1 = 7/3 m/s .

At time  t2 = 4.0 s
That's in the middle of the horizontal part of the graph
that runs from 3 to 6 seconds.
Its slope is zero.
                                     v2 = zero .

At time  t3 = 13 s.
That's in the middle of the part of the graph that's sloping down,
between 11 and 16 seconds.
Its slope is  -3/5 .            v3 = -0.6 m/s .

: The maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between reservoirs at the steam point and at room temperature
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The value is   \eta  =  0.2145  or  21.45%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The first reservoir is at steam point  T_s =  100^o C =  100 + 273 = 373 \ K  

    The  second reservoir is at room temperature T_r  =  20^o C = 293 \ K

Generally the  maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine  is mathematically evaluated as

     \eta  =  1- \frac{T_r}{T_s}

=>    1 - \frac{ 293}{373}

=>    \eta  =  0.2145

The concentration of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in a river just downstream of a wastewater treatment plant’s effluent pipe
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day is 63.5 mg/L

Explanation:

Let the initial concentration of the BOD = C₀

Concentration of BOD at any time or point = C

dC/dt = - KC

∫ dC/C = -k ∫ dt

Integrating the left hand side from C₀ to C and the right hand side from 0 to t

In (C/C₀) = -kt + b (b = constant of integration)

At t = 0, C = C₀

In 1 = 0 + b

b = 0

In (C/C₀) = - kt

(C/C₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

C = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

C₀ = 75 mg/L

k = 0.05 /day

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

So, we need the BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day

We calculate how many days it takes the river to reach 50 km downstream

Velocity = (displacement/time)

15 = 50/t

t = 50/15 = 3.3333 days

So, we need the C that corresponds to t = 3.3333 days

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

0.05 t = 0.05 × 3.333 = 0.167

C = 75 e⁻⁰•¹⁶⁷

C = 63.5 mg/L

Which expression allows you to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

(C) length / height of the plane

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be determined using different variables. In this case, the geometry of the setup is relevant. The advantage is proportional  to the length of the plane, and inversely proportional to the height: it is the ratio (length) / (height) of the plane. For example, given a desired, fixed height, a long inclined plane gives you a bigger mechanical advantage than a short inclined plane. In this example, pushing an object up the long plane will require a smaller force, than it would on the short plane.

Strictly speaking, (D) would also "allow you to determine the mechanical advantage" because you could simply invert the ratio listed under (D). However, (C) is the best, direct, answer.
