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

A stockroom worker pushes a box with mass 11.2 kg on a horizontal surface with a constant speed of 3.30 m/s . The coefIficient o
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass =11.2kg

Constant velocity =3.3m/s

μk=0.25

Since the body is moving in constant velocity, then the acceleration is zero(0).

ΣF = Σ(ma)

The normal force acting on the body is upward and the weight is acting downward

Then ΣFy=0

Therefore, N=W

W=mg=11.2×9.8=109.76N

So, N=W=109.76N

Frictional force is given as

Fr=μkN

Fr=0.25×109.76

Fr=27.44N

Frictional force acting against the motion is 27.44N

Then the forward force moving the body forward

ΣF = Σ(ma)

Since a = 0

Then,

ΣF = 0

F-Fr=0

Then F=Fr

So the force moving the body forward is 27.44N

The emissivity of an ideal reflector has which of the following values?
Wittaler [7]

Emissivityis a measure of how much thermal radiation a body emits to its environment. On the other hand we have that reflectivity is a measure of how much is reflected, and transmissivity  is a measure of how much passes through the object. If a body is required to be ideally reflective to its maximum efficiency, the body should NOT have the property of transmissivity or emissivity. Therefore it should be 0 its emittivity.

Correct answer would be A : ZERO.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

A) correct answer is C,   B)   correct answer is b  and C) The correct answer is b

Explanation:

In the exercises of geometric optics, the equation of the constructor tells us the location of the image.

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length of the cornea-crystalline system, p and q are the distances to the object and the image.

In this case, the distance to the image on the retina is constant, about 3 cm. Therefore depending on the distance to the object) p = the focal length must change

        1 / q = 1 / f 1 / p

let's apply this expression to our case

A) indicates that the tree is at a medium distance

so that the image is formed on the retina THE SAME AS

correct answer is C

B) The squirrel is at a smaller distance (p ') than the tree (p), therefore if we substitute in the equation above we find that q must decrease. Consequently the image is in front of the retina

The mountain is very far, suppose in infinity, so the image is BEHIND THE RETINA

therefore the correct answer is b

C) The squirrel is very close so the curvature of the lens INCREASES, resulting in a DECREASE in the focal length

The correct answer is b
