Which statement best describes the importance of joints in the roadways of Bridges ?

Physics
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
3 0

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

1.7 Btu

1 watt = 3.41214 Btu/h

1watt * 1h = 3.41214 Btu/h * h

1 = 3.41214 Btu/ (watt*h)/

0.5 watt * h = 0.5 watt*h * 3.41214 Btu/(watt*h) = 1.706 Btu

An experiment is set up to test the angular resolution of an optical device when red light (wavelength ????r ) shines on an aper
Neko [114]

Explanation:

As per Rayleigh criterion, the angular resolution is given as follows:

\theta=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D}

From this expression larger the size of aperture, smaller will be the value of angular resolution and hence, better will be the device i.e. precision for distinguishing two points at very high angular difference is higher.

John walks 1.00 km north, then turns right and walks 1.00 km east. His speed is 1.50 m/s during the entire stroll.a) What is the
avanturin [10]

Answer:

(a) 1.414 km

(b) 1.06 m/s

Explanation:

(a) For John:

Distance = 1 km north and then 1 km east

Speed = 1.5 m/s

total distance traveled = 1 + 1 = 2 km = 2000 m

Time taken to travel = Distance / speed

t = 2000 / 1.5 = 1333.3 seconds

Displacement = \sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}}=1.414 km

(b) For jane :

Time is same as john = 1333.33 second

Distance = 1.414 km = 1414 m

Speed = distance / time = 1414 / 1333.33 = 1.06 m/s

2. A can filled with sand has a mass of 0.65kg is swung overhead in a horizontal circle of radius 0.70m at a constant rate of 2.
Aliun [14]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

≈ 5 Kgm²/sec

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Angular momentum is given by the formula

L = Iω, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular speed.

I = mr², where m is the mass and r is the radius

 = 0.65 × 0.7²

 = 0.3185

Angular speed, ω = v/r

                              = (2 × 3.142 × r × 2.5) r

                              =  15.71

Therefore;

Angular momentum =  Iω

                                 = 0.3185 × 15.71

                                 = 5.003635

                                 <u>≈ 5 Kgm²/sec</u>

The wing of an airplane experiences the forces as depicted in the vector diagram to the right. Using both one and two dimensiona
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

A.) 3605.6 N

B.) 33.7 degree

Explanation:

To find the result force acting on the wing of the airplane, we need to resolve the forces into x and y components

Resolving into x component :

Sum of forces = 3500 - 500 = 3000N

Resolving into y component:

Sum of forces = 2000N

Resultant force Fr = sqrt ( Fx^2 + Fy^2)

Fr = sqrt ( 3000^2 + 2000^2 )

Fr = sqrt ( 9000000 + 4000000 )

Fr = sqrt ( 13000000)

Fr = 3605.6 N

Therefore, resultant force acting on the wing is 3605.6 N

The direction of the vector will be:

Tan Ø = Fy / Fx

Substitute Fx and Fy into the formula

Tan Ø = 2000 / 3000

Tan Ø = 0.66666

Ø = tan^-1(0. 66666)

Ø = 33.7 degree.
