An iron railroad rail is 800 ft long when the temperature is 31°C. What is its length (in ft) when the temperature is −17°C?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

799.54 ft

Explanation:

Linear thermal expansion is:

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

where ΔL is the change in length,

α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient,

L₀ is the original length,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Given:

α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C

L₀ = 800 ft

ΔT = -17°C − 31°C = -48°C

Find: ΔL

ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (800 ft) (-48°C)

ΔL = -0.4608

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is -0.46 ft.

Therefore, the final length is approximately 800 ft − 0.46 ft = 799.54 ft.

What controls whether a lava flow is aa or pahoehoe
nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Basaltic lava

Basaltic lava generally takes two distinct forms known by the Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa. Pahoehoe has a smooth wavy surface that resembles twisted rope. It advances by extruding molten toes of lava beneath a thin, flexible crust. As it travels pahoehoe lava often changes to blocky flows called aa.

Two round concentric metal wires lie on a tabletop, one inside the other. The inner wire has a diameter of 21.0 cm and carries a
Burka [1]

Solution :

a). B at the center :

     $=\frac{u\times I}{2R}$

Here, one of the current is in the clockwise direction and therefore, the other current must be in the clockwise direction in order to cancel out the effect of the magnetic field that is produced by the other.

Therefore, the answer is ANTICLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE

b). Also, the sum of the fields must be zero.

Therefore,

$\left(\frac{u\times I_1}{2R_1}\right) + \left(\frac{u\times I_2}{2R_2}\right) = 0$

So,

$\frac{I_1}{d_1}= \frac{I_2}{d_2}$

$=\frac{16}{21}=\frac{I_2}{32}$

$I_2=24.38 $ A

Therefore, the current in the outer wire is 24.38 ampere.

A node is a point on a standing wave that has no displacement from the rest position. At the nodes, _____.
Kitty [74]

Answer: (B) There is complete destructive interference between the incoming and reflected waves

Explanation:

For example, if you pluck a guitar the waves will travel back and forth. They consist of nodes and anti-nodes. It is created, when the wave traveling to one side and bounces of the other end and comes back. As it travels to the other side, it is reflected thus, comes back. So standing waves occurs when there is interference.

When the wave is produced, the points where the string is not moving are called nodes and where they are moving are called anti-nodes. The positions where nodes are produced, destructive interference occurs and where anti-nodes are produced, constructive interference occurs
