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

When the pivot point of a balance is not at the center of mass of the balance, how is the net torque on the balance calculated
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

It is calculated as Force × perpendicular distance.

Explanation:

Torque is a rotational force and twisting force that can cause an object to rotate in it's axis. This cause angular rotation.

The torque due to gravity on a body about its centre of mass is zero because the centre of mass is the that point of the body at which the force acts by the gravity that is mg.

But if the pivot point of a balance is not at the centre of mass of the balance, it will be FORCE × PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE because at that point, there is no centre in which the force act on a body by gravity. The distance and force will be use to calculate.

A car of mass 960.0 kg accelerates away from an intersection on a horizontal road. When the car speed is 51.1 km/hr (14.2 m/s),
blagie [28]

Answer:

0.27 m/s^2

Explanation:

The power supplied by the engine is given by

P = Fv

where

F is the force applied

v is the velocity of the car

Here we have

P = 3700 W

v = 14.2 m/s

So we can solve the equation to find the average force:

F=\frac{P}{v}=\frac{3700 W}{14.2 m/s}=260.6 N

The net force applied on the car is also equal to

F = ma

where

m = 960.0 kg is the mass of the car

a is the acceleration

Re-arranging the equation, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{260.6 N}{960.0 kg}=0.27 m/s^2
