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

Troyanec [42]

Impulse = Change in momentum.  
The ball was moving with a momentum of 0.45 * 22 = 9.9  
The ball comes to rest in the receivers arm; this means the ball's final velocity = 0. So mv2 = 0.45 * 0  
The magnitude of the impact is just the change in momentum. 9.9 - (0.45 * 0) = 9.9

A 7.0kg skydiver is descending with a constant velocity
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The air resistance on the skydiver is 68.6 N

Explanation:

When the skydiver is falling down, there are two forces acting on him:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude mg, in the downward direction (where m is the mass of the skydiver and g is the acceleration due to gravity)

- The air resistance, R, in the upward direction

So the net force on the skydiver is:

F=mg-R

where

m = 7.0 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on a body is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration (a):

F=ma

In this problem, however, the skydiver is moving with constant velocity, so his acceleration is zero:

a=0

Therefore the net force is zero:

F=0

And so, we have:

mg-R=0

And so we can find the magnitude of the air resistance, which is equal to the force of gravity:

R=mg=(7.0)(9.8)=68.6 N
