To understand thermal linear expansion in solid materials. Most materials expand when their temperatures increase. Such thermal

expansion, which is explained by the increase in the average distance between the constituent molecules, plays an important role in engineering. In fact, as the temperature increases or decreases, the changes in the dimensions of various parts of bridges, machines, etc., may be significant enough to cause trouble if not taken into account. That is why power lines are always sagging and parts of metal bridges fit loosely together, allowing for some movement. It turns out that for relatively small changes in temperature, the linear dimensions change in direct proportion to the temperature.
For instance, if a rod has length L0 at a certain temperature T0 and length L at a higher temperature T, then the change in length of the rod is proportional to the change in temperature and to the initial length of the rod: L - L0 = αL0(T - T0),
or
ΔL = αL0ΔT.
Here, α is a constant called the coefficient of linear expansion; its value depends on the material. A large value of α means that the material expands substantially as the temperature increases; smaller values of α indicate that the material tends to retain its dimensions. For instance, quartz does not expand much; aluminum expands a lot. The value of α for aluminum is about 60 times that of quartz!
Questions:
A) Compared to its length in the spring, by what amount ΔLwinter does the length of the bridge decrease during the Teharian winter when the temperature hovers around -150°C?
B) Compared to its length in the spring, by what amount ΔLsummer does the length of the bridge increase during the Teharian summer when the temperature hovers around 700°C?

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in
DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.

From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction

Normal force N= 2m x g

friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g

From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction

F₁ =ma =0

using Newton's third law of motion, we get

F₁  - f =0

F₁  =f = μ(2m)g

Put the values, we get

F₁  = 17.64N

Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

physics Test 2 In a double slit experiment, if the separation between the two slits is 0.050 mm and the distance from the slits
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:0.015 m

Explanation:

Given

distance between two slits(d)=0.050 mm

Distance between slit and screen=2.5 m

Wavelength(\lambda )=600 nm

and distance between First order and second order=\frac{D\lambda }{2d}

=\frac{2.5\times 600\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 5\times 10^{-5}}

=15\times 10^{-3}

=0.015 m

A sphere of uniform density with mass 21 kg and radius 0.8 m is spinning, making one complete revolution every 0.8 s. the center
kompoz [17]
Using the equation;
TE = 1/2mv^2(1+2); where k = 2/5 for a solid sphere; V is the velocity, and m is the mass.
Total energy = 0.5 × 21 × 8² (7/5)
                    = 940.8 J
The rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is 940.8 J
