Answer:

799.54 ft

Explanation:

Linear thermal expansion is:

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

where ΔL is the change in length,

α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient,

L₀ is the original length,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Given:

α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C

L₀ = 800 ft

ΔT = -17°C − 31°C = -48°C

Find: ΔL

ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (800 ft) (-48°C)

ΔL = -0.4608

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is -0.46 ft.

Therefore, the final length is approximately 800 ft − 0.46 ft = 799.54 ft.

Which can make 4 covalent bonds? Carbon, Silicon, or both?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

A small block with mass 0.0400 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.600 m on the inside of a circular track. During one of
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the body is 0.04kg

M=0.04kg

The radius of the paths is 0.6m

r=0.6m

The normal force exerted at A is 3.9N

Fa=3.9N

The normal force exerted at B is 0.69N

Fb=0.69N

Then work done by friction from point A to B will be the change in K.E

W=∆K.E+P.E

So we need to know the velocity at both point A and B

Then since the centripetal force is given as

Ft=mv²/r

Then,

For point A

Fa=mv²/r

3.9=0.04v²/0.6

3.9=0.0667v²

v²=3.9/0.0667

v²=58.5

v=√58.5

v=7.65m/s

Va=7.65m/s

Now at point B

Fb=mv²/r

0.69=0.04v²/0.6

0.69=0.0667v²

v²=0.69/0.0667

v²=10.35

v=√10.35

v=3.22m/s

Vb=3.22m/s

Then, the work done is

W=∆K.E+P.E

P.E is given as mgh

The height will be 2R =1.2m

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.04×9.81×1.2

P.E=0.471J

Final kinetic energy at B minus initial kinetic energy at A

W=K.Eb-K.Ea

K.E is given as 1/2mv²

W=1/2m(Vb²-Va²) +P.E

W=0.5×0.04(3.22²-7.65²) +0.471

W=0.5×0.04×(-48.1541) +0.471

W=-0.96+0.471

W=-0.49J

work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B is 0.49J.

Friction opposes motions and that is why the work done is negative

An air-track glider undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with an identical glider that is initially at rest. what fraction
Allisa [31]

In this collision, 1/2 of the initial kinetic energy of the first glider is converted into thermal energy.

<h3>In plain English, what is kinetic energy?</h3>

An object's strength as a result ofstrength an object has as a result or motion is known as kinetic energy. Toorder to accelerate an object, a force must be applied. Applying force requires effort on our part. When the work is done, power is transported to the thing, which causes it to move at the athe new, constant pace.

<h3>What does kinetic energy mean, or what are some instances?</h3>

The motion energy is known as kinetic energy, and it is manifested when a particle, object, or group if particles moves. Any moving object uses kinetic energy, including people walking, baseballs being thrown, food falling from tables, and charged particles in electric fields.
