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

A net force of 125 N accelerates a 25.0 kg mass. What is the resulting acceleration?
Neko [114]

Answer: a=5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be calculated by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force applied on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have F=125 N and m=25.0 kg, so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the acceleration:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{125 N}{25.0 kg}=5 m/s^2

For a sound coming from a point source, the amplitude of the sound is inversely
gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.
