Consider a 40,000 km steel pipe in the shape of a ring that fits snuggly all around the circumference of the Earth. We are heati

ng now the ring so its temperature increased by 1 degree C. Now, the pipe will no longer be snug. How high the ring will now stand above ground level? (Make as many simplifications as necessary). Data: Coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 11*10-6 /degree C. This means, for example, that a 1-meter bar of steel that increases its temperature by 1 degree C will expand 11*10-6 meters (11 micrometers)

Answer:

The Height is  H = 70.02 m

Explanation:

We are given that the

                         Initial length is  = 40000\ Km = 40,000 *10^{3} m

from what we are told in the question the circumference of the circle is = 40,000 Km

  This means that the Radius would be :

         Let C denote the circumference

      So  

               C = 2 \pi r

      =>     r = \frac{C}{2 \pi}

               r = \frac{40,000}{2 \pi } = \frac{40,000*10^{3}}{2 *3.142}  = 6.365*10^6 m

We are told that 1-meter bar of steel that increases its temperature by 1 degree C will expand 11*10^{-6} meters

Hence

       The final length would be

                            40000*10^3 *(T + \alpha  )

Where T is the change in  temperature  \alpha is the Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

  let L_{final} denote the final length

   So

        L_{final} =40000*10^{6} *[1+ 11*10^{-6}]

                  = 40000440 \ m

 Now the Height is mathematically represented as

         Height(H) \ = \frac{change \ in \ radius \ }{2 \pi}

                       = \frac{(40000440-40000*10^3)}{2*3.142}

                       = 70.02m

The area of a triangle is 30 m². Using the equation A=12bh A = 1 2 b h , where b is base and h is height, solve for h if b = 3 m
Mama L [17]

Answer:

20 metres

Explanation:

Given that the area of a triangle is 30 square metres (m²). Using the equation A = 1/2bh, this is the formula for the triangle.

where b is base and h is height

Given that b = 3 metres.

To calculate h, Substitute b and A into the equation

30 = 1/2 × 3 × h

3h = 60

h = 60/3

h = 20 m

Therefore, h is equal to 20 metres

Which factors improve soil fertility? Select the three correct answers. A. Humus B. Bedrock C. Horizon D. Nitrogen E. Manure
Katyanochek1 [597]

Correct answer choices are :

A) Humus

E) Manure

D) Nitrogen


Explanation:


Soil fertility leads to the capability of a soil to support agricultural plant growth, i.e. to produce plant environment and occur in continued and steady yields of high quality. A fertile soil will include all the important nutrients for basic plant nourishment, as well as other nutrients required in smaller amounts.

2) Two railway tracks are parallel to west east direction. Along one track, train A moves with a speed of 45 m/s from
Natalija [7]

Answer:

105 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the speed of train A, V_A = 45 m/s from west to east.

Speed of train B, V_B = 60 m/s from east to west.

Train B is moving in the opposite direction with respect to the speed of train A. Assuming that the speed from east to west direction is positive.

So, the speed of train A from east to west= - 45 m/s

The speed of train B w.r.t train A = V_B - V_A=60-(-45)=60+45=105 m/s

Hence, the speed of train B w.r.t train A is 105 m/s from east to west.
