A building made with a steel structure is 565 m high on a winter day when the temperature is 0◦F. How much taller is the buildin
anyanavicka [17]

To solve this problem we apply the thermodynamic equations of linear expansion in bodies.

Mathematically the change in the length of a body is subject to the mathematical expression

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

Where,

L_0 = Initial Length

\alpha = Thermal expansion coefficient

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Since we have values in different units we proceed to transform the temperature to degrees Celsius so

0\°F \Rightarrow (0-32)*\frac{5}{9} = -17.77\°C

103\°F \Rightarrow (103-32)*(\frac{5}{9})= 39.44\°C

The coefficient of thermal expansion given is

\alpha = 1.1*10^{-5}/\°C

The initial length would be,

L_0 = 565m

Replacing we have to,

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

\Delta L = (565)(1.1*10^{-5})(39.44-(-17.77))

\Delta L = (565)(1.1*10^{-5})(39.44-(-17.77))

\Delta L = 0.355m

This means that the building will be 35.5cm taller

How am I supposed to solve this?
RSB [31]

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?
atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Insulators have very high .
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.
