Answer:

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

Explanation:

Joints in the roadways of bridges allows for the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge.

The force on the bridge and the ambient temperature causes expansion of the materials used in making the bridge.

  • Joints allows and accommodate the expansion.
  • As the force is removed and temperature reduces, the road also contracts.

A ball is thrown at 20 m/s from the ground upwards at an angle of elevation of 30°. How far away does it land? 35.35 m
mestny [16]

Answer:

35.35 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Angle of projection (θ) = 30°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Range (R) =.?

The range (i.e how far away) of the ball can be obtained as follow:

R = u² Sine 2θ /g

R = 20² Sine (2×30) / 9.8

R = 400 Sine 60 / 9.8

R = (400 × 0866) / 9.8

R = 346.4 / 9.8

R = 35.35 m

Therefore, the range (i.e how far away) of the ball is 35.35 m

A 0.5 kg rock is dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the ground. Approximately how much kinetic energy will be stored in the ro
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2.45 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 0.5 kg

Height (h) = 1 m

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) = 1/2 = 0.5 m

Final velocity (v) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 0.5)

v² = 9.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √9.8

v = 3.13 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.5 kg

Velocity (v) = 3.13 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.5 × 3.13²

KE = 0.25 × 9.8

KE = 2.45 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way is 2.45 J

A standing wave is created on a string of length 1.2 m. If the speed of the wave on the string is 60.0 m/s, what is the fundamen
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Fundamental frequency in the string will be 25 Hz

Explanation:

We have given length of the string L = 1.2 m

Speed of the wave on the string v = 60 m/sec

We have to find the fundamental frequency

Fundamental frequency in the string is equal to f=\frac{v}{2L}, here v is velocity on the string and L is the length of the string

So frequency will be equal to f=\frac{v}{2L}=\frac{60}{2\times 1.2}=25Hz

So fundamental frequency will be 25 Hz
