Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.101$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\mu_k mgh$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mgh}$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{95\times (5)^2}{2\times 60\times 9.8\times 19.8}$

$\mu_k=0.101$

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.

two children sit on a merry go round. on sits 0.5 m from the center and the other sits 3 m from the center. Which child has grea

GuDViN [60]

i would say that the child with more linear speed is the cild that is 3 meters away from the center of the merry go round. because the child that is 0.5 meters from the center of the merry go round is less linear because the steering of the merry go round is started from the outer part of the merry go round so it would make more sense that the child that is 3 meters from the center of the merry go round would be more linear in speed.

hope this helps!

Moving from the element with atomic number 10 to atomic number 11 on the periodic table, there is a change in reactivity. In thr

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ne has its outside shell full of electrons; therefore, its reaction with other elements is minimal if at all. Na, the next element, has 1 more proton and 1 more electron. More importantly that added electron is in the outside shell. It can fill that shell by ADDing 7 more electrons or LOSing the one electron. Obviously, it loses the one electron and it does so with gusto which makes Na a very reaction element while Ne is not reactive at all. Now follow oobleck's instructions, add what you read to what I've written,then summarize all of it in your own words.
