Which property of water causes the cracks in the pavement in cold climates ?

2 answers:

7 0

“As temperatures drop, the pavement contracts, building up tensile stresses that lead to cracking,” states MnDOT's Research Services Section. “Fractures occur every 20 to 30 feet across the lane, allowing water to penetrate the structure, which further weakens the pavement layer and the base beneath

Two coaxial conducting cylindrical shells have equal and opposite charges. The inner shell has charge +q and an outer radius a,

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$\Delta V = \frac{q ln(\frac{b}{a})}{2\pi \epsilon_0 L}$

Explanation:

As we know that the charge per unit length of the long cylinder is given as

$\lambda = \frac{q}{L}$

here we know that the electric field between two cylinders is given by

$E = \frac{2k\lambda}{r}$

now we know that electric potential and electric field is related to each other as

$\Delta V = - \int E.dr$

$\Delta V = -\int_a^b (\frac{2k\lambda}{r})dr$

$\Delta V = -2k \lambda ln(\frac{b}{a})$

$\Delta V = \frac{\lambda ln(\frac{b}{a})}{2\pi \epsilon_0}$

$\Delta V = \frac{q ln(\frac{b}{a})}{2\pi \epsilon_0 L}$

When heat is converted into another form of energy, the total amount of energy is constant. Which law best illustrates this stat

deff fn [24]

The law of conservation of energy states that in a closed or isolated system, the amount of energy remains constant because energy can neither be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form into another. This applies to all forms of energy.

How does a generator work?

insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

A jetliner flies at a constant speed covering 467 miles in 3.3 hours. What is the speed of the plane in miles per hour?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

141.152 miles per hour is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed of plane = Total distance travelled/total time taken -

v = D/t

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

v = 467/3.3 miles /hour

v = 141.152 miles per hour

141.152 miles per hour is the speed of the plane in miles per hour
