Answer: 0.0138 m^2 = 138 cm^2
Explanation:
The thermal expansion is the term use for the physical phenomena of dilation of the objects when they are exposed to changes in temperature.
The objects dilate when they are heated and contract when they are cooled.
The dilation is proportional to the change in temperatur.
For linear dilation, the proportionality constant is called linear dilation coefficient of the materials, it is named α and is measured in °C ^-1.
ΔL = α * Lo * ΔT, which means that the dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original length (Lo) and the change of temperature (ΔT).
There is also superficial dilation, for which the dilation is:
ΔA = β * Ao * ΔT, which means that the superficial dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original area (Ao) and the change of temperature (ΔT).
It is very interesting and important to solve problems that β = 2α, because regularly you will find the values of α for different materials and so, you just to multiply it times 2 to use β.
For this problem:
- Original area, Ao = area of the flat roof at - 10°C = 2.0m * 3.0m = 6.0 m^2.
- α for aluminum = 24 * 10^ -6 °C^-1.
- ΔT = 38°C - (-10°C) = 48°C
So, ΔA = 6.0m^2 * (2 * 24*10^-6 °C&-1) * 48°C = 0.0138 m^2
And that is the area that should stick out in summer to fit the structure during cold winter nights.
You can pass that number to cm^2 to grasp better the idea of this size:
0.0138 m^2 * (100 cm)^2 / m^2 = 138 cm^2
Answer:
Explanation:
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by 
, where 
is the spring constant of the spring and 
is displacement from point of equilibrium.
When released, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by 
, where 
is the mass of the object and 
is the object's velocity.
Thus, we have:
Substituting given values, we get:
Rolling of the eyes. The person is either vexed or frustrated.
The speed is changing its direction all the time. There
is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called
centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no
acceleration.
This is the general formula for acceleration
a = dv/dt
When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change
in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt
tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference
between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity
(the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).
There is a formula (which can be deducted from the
previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:
a = v^2/r
Let’s talk about the units:
v is in m/s
r is in m
so v^2/r
is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2
which is the same unit as dv/dt:
dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2
