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.

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two football players are pushing a 60 kg blocking sled across the field at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. The coefficient of kinet
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The sled slides d=0.155 meters before rest.

Explanation:

m= 60 kg

V= 2 m/s

μ= 0.3

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 588 N

Fr= μ* W

Fr= 176.4 N

∑F = m * a

a= (W+Fr)/m

a= 12.74m/s²

t= V/a

t= 0.156 s

d= V*t - a*t²/2

d= 0.155 m
