Answer:

ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

using the criterion of three significant figures

ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Imagine you are holding an apple. Does this apple have energy?how do you know?

patriot [66]

The apple in my hand has three different forms of energy
that I can think of.

1). Thermal energy. I know that the apple's temperature is
not absolute zero, because it is not freezing my hand off.
Therefore it holds some heat energy.

2). Chemical energy. From previous experience, I know that
if I eat the apple, it gives me a boost and keeps the doctor away,
since my body is able to metabolize it, and extract nutrition from
its chemical energy.

3). Potential energy. Also from previous experience, I realize
that when I picked up the apple, I exerted force on it opposite to
the force of gravity. By doing work on it, I endowed it with increased
gravitational potential energy, which would immediately be obvious
if I dropped it to the ground, where it would either smash or dig a
little crater in the grass.

Most fish fossils are: <u>D. from sharks, eels, and stingrays</u>.

<u>Explanation</u>:

A fossil is a preserved part or trace of a living being in the geological age. Animals, fish, bones and shells are some of the fossils. Fish fossils are the dead fish that are found under the river bed or ocean.

The dead animals in the water bodies are buried under the mud for long period of time. The soft tissues of the animals are decomposed leaving the dry bones.

There are five different types of fossils. They are

i) Body fossils

ii) Molds and casts

iii) Petrification fossils

iv) Footprints and trackways

v) Coprolites

One of the common fossils is shark tooth. The tooth of the sharks is shed continuously. The fish fossils are found at the bottom of the ocean, lake and pond deposits.

How could you use the barometer to determine the height of a building?

Nady [450]

Take the barometer to the roof of the building. Drop the barometer from the edge of the roof, and, with your wrist watch or a stop watch, measure the time it takes for the barometer to hit the ground or the street below. Then the height of the roof, in meters, is 4.9 times the square of the time in seconds.

A 14.0-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 90-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay st

vredina [299]

Answer:the speed of the clay immediately before impact =72.58m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the stick clay, M₁= 14.0 g = 0.014 kg

mass of the block ,M₂= 90 g = 0.09 kg

Therefore the total mass= (M₁+M₂) = 104g = 0.104 kg

Also, distance, s = 7.50 m

coefficient of friction μ= 0.650

Acceleration due to gravity ,g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the Work- Energy theorem,

change in kinetic energy = work done

final kinetic energy(K₂) - initial kinetic energy(K₁) = force, F x coefficient of friction, μ x distance,s

The final kinetic energy is zero because after the impact, the block with the clay comes to a stop after 7.50m

kinetic energy =Work done

0.5 x m x v²=coefficient of friction, μ x force(F) x distance,s(Since force = m g )

0.5 x m x v²= μ x m x g x s

0.5 x 0.104 x v² = 0.650 x 0.104x 9.8 x 7.5

v²= 0.650 x 0.104x 9.8 x 7.5 / 0.5 x 0.104

v²==95.55

V = 9.77 m/s

Using the conservation of momentum formulae where

M₁ V₁ + M₂ V₂ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V

Since V₂ which is the velocity of block is zero as the block is initially at rest, We now have that

M₁ V₁ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V

0.014 kg x V₁ = 0.104 x 9.77

V₁=0.104 x 9.77 / 0.014

V=72.58m/s
