Answer:

Gap left = Change in length on heating

Gap=Initial length×Coefficient of linear expansion×change in temperature

Gap=10×0.000012×15m

⟹Gap=0.0018 m

this is an example u have to put your equation in it

A high-speed ""bullet"" train accelerates and decelerates at the rate 4 ft/s 2 . Its maximum cruising speed is 90 mi/hr. (a) Wha
NemiM [27]

Answer:

23 mi

Explanation:

Let us first record all the values we have

acceleration = 4 ft/s

max speed = 90 mi/hr * 1 hr/3600s * 5280 ft/1 mi = 132 ft/s

We can use the equation of linear motion since acceleration is constant

distance covered = distance during acceleration + distance during costant

                                 velocity

s = \frac{v_{f} ^{2} - v_{i} ^{2}  }{2a}  + v_{i}t\\\\s = \frac{132 ^{2} - 0^{2}  }{2*4}  + 132*900\\s = 120 978ft

distance in miles = 120 978 ft * 1 mi/5280 ft = 22.9125 mi ≈ 23 mi

A 18000 Hz wave has wavelength of 0.03 meters. How fast is this wave<br> traveling?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

540m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the wave = 18000Hz

Wavelength of the wave = 0.03m

Unknown:

How fast is the wave traveling = ?

Solution:

How fast the wave is traveling is a measure of the speed of the wave;

     Speed of wave  = frequency x wavelength

Now insert the given parameters and solve;

   Speed of wave  = 18000 x   0.03  = 540m/s

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Electrons.

Explanation:

Electricity was discovered before the discovery of electrons by J.J Thompson in 1896. Before the electron, it was thought that it is the positive ions that move through the wire and carry current—that's why today the conventional current represents the flow of positive charges.

After J.J Thompson's discovery of the electrons, it was realized that it is the electrons that actually carry the current through the conductor. But changing the direction of the conventional current didn't seem appropriate, and that's why the convention continues to be used to this day—reminding us that once it were the positive ions that were thought to carry the current.
