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

The tidal lung volume of human breathing, representing the amount of air inhaled and exhaled in a normal breath, is 500 cm3. (As

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature of air = 18°C = 273 + 18 = 291 K .

volume = 500 cc = 0 .5 litre .

pressure = one atmosphere ( atm) .

From gas equation , we can calculate this volume at NTP as follows.

volume = .5 x ( 273 / 291 ) litre

= 0.469 litre .

In any gas at NTP , 22.4 litre contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

.469 litre will contain 6.02 x 10²³ x .469 / 22.4 molecules

= 126 x 10²⁰ molecules .

b )

one mole = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

6.02 x 10²³ molecules has weight of 28.96 grams

126 x 10²⁰ molecules has weight of 28.96 x 126 x 10²⁰ / 6.02 x 10²³ grams

= .606 gram .

c )

volume of all the air in the atmosphere = volume of sphere

= 4 / 3 x π x R³

= ( 4 / 3) x 3.14 x (999.5 x 10³ )³ m³

= 4.18 x 10¹⁸ m³

density of air = 1.225 kg / m³

mass of air = 1.225 x 4.18 x 10¹⁸ kg

= 5.12 x 10¹⁸ kg

d )

volume of air inhaled by 7 billion people

= . 5 x 7 x 10⁹ litre

= 3.5 x 10⁶ m³ .

Total volume of air in atmosphere = 4.18 x 10¹⁸ m³

required percentage

= 3.5 x 10⁶ x 100 / 4.18 x 10¹⁸

= .8373 x 10⁻¹⁰ % .

To dry the brakes, drive slowly in __________ and apply light pressure on your brake pedal.

ira [324]

The answer is low gear. To dry the brakes of a vehicle, one must driv slowly in low gear and apply light pressure on the vehicle's brake pedal. Dry brakes are less expensive and are cheap when it needs replacement, yet under pressure they may cause more damage to the system than wet brakes, which are better in terms of emergency.

PLS I NEED HELP ASAAP

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The Equation represents the displacement of the object which is represented by x

$x=t-t^2$

so, $x_0$ means when time is zero so we replace t with zero in the equation,

$x_0=(0)-(0)^2\\x_0=0$

now for v which is velocity we need to differentiate the function as the formula for velocity is rate of change of displacement over time so we derivate the equation once and get,

$v=1-2t\\$

now for $v_0$ we insert t = 0 and get

$v_0=1-2(0)\\v_0=1$

now for a which is acceleration the formula of acceleration is rate of change of velocity over time, so we differentiate the the equation of v(velocity) once or the equation of x(displacement) twice so now we get,

$a=-2$

so Option A is your answer.

Remember derivative of a constant is always zero because a constant value has no rate of change has its a constant hence the derivative is 0
