A ball has a mass of 2 kg and is thrown with a force of 8 Newtons for .35 seconds. What is the ball's change in

Anna [14]

Answer:

1.4s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball = 2kg

Force = 8N

Time = 0.35s

Unknown:

Change in velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression obtained from Newton's second law of motion which is shown below:

Ft = m(v - u)

So;

Ft = m Δv

F is the force

t is the time

m is the mass

Δv is the change in velocity

8 x 0.35 = 2 x Δv

Δv = 1.4s

Two concrete spans of a 380 m long bridge are

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.163 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the bridge is

L = 380 m

And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is

$L_i = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{380}{2}=190 m$

Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:

$L_f = L_i(1+ \alpha \Delta T)$

where

$L_i = 190 m$ is the initial length of one span

$\alpha =1.2\cdot 10^{-5} ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion

$\Delta T=20^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

Substituting,

$L_f=(190)(1+(1.2\cdot 10^{-5})(20))=190.0456 m$

By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:

$h=\sqrt{L_f^2-L_i^2}=\sqrt{(190.0456)^2-(190)^2}=4.163 m$
