Answer:

c. Joints allow the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge

Explanation:

The reasons why joints are allowed on roadway is to accommodate the contraction and expansion of the road as cars put force on them.

Most materials used in making roadways are susceptible to expansion and contraction.
When a measure of force is applied their length either increases or decreases depending on the type of force.
To accommodate these changes, joints are placed in roadways

Sergio [31]

Answer:

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.

Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

$L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

$1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

$1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }$

$\frac{1}{100,000} = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

$v = 0.999999995$ $c$

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A 40-cmcm-long tube has a 40-cmcm-long insert that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the tube. A

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

1070 Hz

Explanation:

First, I should point out there might be a typo in the question or the question has inconsistent values. If the tube is 40 cm long, standing waves cannot be produced at 42.5 cm and 58.5 cm lengths. I assume the length is more than the value in the question then. Under this assumption, we proceed as below:

The insert in the tube creates a closed pipe with one end open and the other closed. For a closed pipe, the difference between successive resonances is a half wavelength $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ .
