Answer: ∆L = 0.49cm ≈ 0.50cm
Therefore there should be 0.5 cm gap between each piece of steel.
Explanation:
Thermal expansion of steel is the increase in size of steel as a result of increased temperature. It can be represented by the mathematical expression:
∆L = L(k)∆T .....1
Where;
∆L is the change in length
L is the initial length
∆T is the change in temperature
k is the specific Linear expansion coefficient.
Given;
L = 12m
∆T = 50°C - 16°C = 34°C
k (for steel) = 1.2 × 10^-6 /C
Substituting the values into the equation 1
∆L = 12 × 34 × 12×10^-6
∆L = 4896 × 10^-6 m
∆L = 0.49cm ≈ 0.50cm
Therefore there should be 0.5 cm gap between each piece of steel.
Answer:
Unless the lamina is able to move freely under the influence of gravity, you do not know where to draw that line.
Explanation:
This is called Joule's Law. It describes how things heat up due to electric current passing through them
The waves as it gets closer
Answer:
Energy of scattered photon is 232.27 keV.
Kinetic energy of recoil electron is 497.73 keV.
The recoil angle of electron is 13.40°
Explanation:
The energy of scattered photon is given by the relation :
.....(1)
Here E₁ is the energy of incident photon, E₂ is the energy of scattered photon,
is mass of electron and θ is scattered angle.
Substitute 730 keV for E₁, 511 keV for
and 120° for θ in equation (1).

E₂ = 232.27 keV
Kinetic energy of recoil electron is given by the relation :
K.E. = E₁ - E₂ = (730 - 232.27 ) keV = 497.73 keV
The recoil angle of electron is given by :

Substitute the suitable values in above equation.


= 13.40°
