Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017

A truck with 0.410 m radius tires travels at 25.0 m/s. What is the angular velocity of the rotating tires in radians per second?

Eduardwww [97]

relation between linear velocity and angular velocity is given as

$v = R\omega$

here

v = linear speed

R = radius

$\omega$ = angular speed

now plug in all data in the equation

$25.0 = 0.410 \omega$

$\omega = \frac{25}{0.410}$

$\omega = 60.9 rad/s$

so rotating speed is 60.9 rad/s

Why was the idea of plate tectonics difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced?

pentagon [3]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The idea of plate tectonics was difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced because there was no explanation yet for how it was happening. It was only to the recent times that these were proven.

Bill throws a tennis ball to his dog. He throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. Assume he th

Sidana [21]

1a) Bill and the dog must have a speed of 13.0 m/s

1b) The speed of the dog must be 22.5 m/s

2a) The ball passes over the outfielder's head at 3.33 s

2b) The ball passes 1.2 m above the glove

2c) The player can jump after 2.10 s or 3.13 s after the ball has been hit

2d) One solution is when the player is jumping up, the other solution is when the player is falling down

Explanation:

1a)

The motion of the ball in this problem is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

In part a), we want to know at what speed Bill and the dog have to run in order to intercept the ball as it lands on the ground: this means that Bill and the dog must have the same velocity as the horizontal velocity of the ball.

The ball's initial speed is

u = 15 m/s

And the angle of projection is

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

So, the ball's horizontal velocity is

$v_x = u cos \theta = (15)(cos 30)=13.0 m/s$

And therefore, Bill and the dog must have this speed.

1b)

For this part, we have to consider the vertical motion of the ball first.

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

$y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

$u_y = u sin \theta = (15)(sin 30) = 7.5 m/s$ is the initial vertical velocity

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

The ball is at a position of y = 2 m above the ground when:

$2=7.5t + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2\\4.9t^2-7.5t+2=0$

Which has two solutions: t=0.34 s and t=1.19 s. We are told that the ball is falling to the ground, so we have to consider the second solution, t = 1.19 s.

The horizontal distance covered by the ball during this time is

$d=v_x t =(13.0)(1.19)=15.5 m$

The dog must be there 0.5 s before, so at a time

t' = t - 0.5 = 0.69 s

So, the speed of the dog must be

$v_x' = \frac{d}{t'}=\frac{15.5}{0.69}=22.5 m/s$

2a)

Here we just need to consider the horizontal motion of the ball.

The horizontal distance covered is

$d=98 m$

while the horizontal velocity of the ball is

$v_x = u cos \theta = (34)(cos 30)=29.4 m/s$

where u = 34 m/s is the initial speed.

So, the time taken for the ball to cover this distance is

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{98}{29.4}=3.33 s$

2b)

Here we need to calculate the vertical position of the ball at t = 3.33 s.

The vertical position is given by

$y= h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

h = 1.2 m is the initial height

$u_y = u sin \theta = (34)(sin 30)=17.0 m/s$ is the initial vertical velocity

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting t = 3.33 s,

$y=1.2+(17)(3.33)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(3.33)^2=3.5 m$

And sinc the glove is at a height of y' = 2.3 m, the difference in height is

y - y' = 3.5 - 2.3 = 1.2 m

2c)

In order to intercept the ball, he jumps upward at a vertical speed of

$u_y' = 7 m/s$

So its position of the glove at time t' is

$y'= h' + u_y' t' + \frac{1}{2}at'^2$

where h' = 2.3 m is the initial height of the glove, and t' is the time from the moment when he jumps. To catch the ball, the height must be

y' = y = 3.5 m (the height of the ball)

Substituting and solving for t', we find

$3.5 = 2.3 + 7t' -4.9t'^2\\4.9t'^2-7t'+12 = 0$

Which has two solutions: t' = 0.20 s, t' = 1.23 s. But this is the time t' that the player takes to reach the same height of the ball: so the corresponding time after the ball has been hit is

$t'' = t -t'$

So we have two solutions:

$t'' = 3.33 s - 0.20 s = 3.13 s\\t'' = 3.33 s - 1.23 s = 2.10 s$

So, the player can jump after 2.10 s or after 3.13 s.

2d)

The reason for the two solutions is the following: the motion of the player is a free fall motion, so initially he jump upwards, then because of gravity he is accelerated downward, and therefore eventually he reaches a maximum height and then he falls down.

Therefore, the two solutions corresponds to the two different part of the motion.

The first solution, t'' = 2.10 s, is the time at which the player catches the ball while he is in motion upward.

On the other hand, the second solution t'' = 3.13 s, is the time at which the player catches the ball while falling down.

A tectonic plate is part of the Earth’s lithospherehttp://brainly.com/question/add?entry=1642&task_content=A%20tectonic%20pl

lord [1]

Plate tectonicsis a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motion of Earth's lithosphere. This theoretical model builds on the concept of continental drift which was developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted plate-tectonic theory after seafloor spreading was validated in the late 1950s and early 1960s.The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle), is broken up into tectonic plates.
