The humber bridge in england has the world's longest single span, 1410 m . calculate the change in length of the steel deck of t

Pepsi [2]

Applicable linear expansion equation:
ΔL = αΔTL
In which
ΔL = change in length, α = Linear expansion coefficient of steel, ΔT = change in temperature, L = original length

Therefore,
ΔL = 12*10^-6*(18.5-(-3))*1410 = 0.36378 m

One event occurs at the origin at t equal to zero, and a second events occurs at the point x=5m along the x-axis at time with ct

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The separation will be spacelike.

The first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.

Explanation:

We can define the separation between two events (using the + - - - signature) as :

$(\Delta s )^2 = (ct_2 - c t_1 )^2 - (x_2 - x_1)^2$

where the separation will be lightlike if is equal to zero, timelike if is positive and spacelike if is negative.

For our problem

$c t_1 = 0$

$x_1 = 0$

$ct_2 = 4 \ m$

$x_2 = 5 \ m$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m - 0 )^2 - ( 5 \ m - 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m )^2 - ( 5 \ m 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = 16 \ m^ 2 - 25 \ m^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = - 9\ m^2$

So the separation will be spacelike, and the first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green at t=0, a truck with a constant speed passes the car with a 20m/

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

At $t = (70 / 3) \; {\rm s}$ (approximately $23.3 \; {\rm s}$ .)

Explanation:

Note that the acceleration of the car between $t = 0\; {\rm s}$ and $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ ( $\Delta t = 20\; {\rm s}$ ) is constant. Initial velocity of the car was $v_{0} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , whereas $v_{1} = 35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ at $t = 20\; {\rm s}\!$ . Hence, at $t = 20\; {\rm s}\!\!$ , this car would have travelled a distance of:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(v_{1} - v_{0})\, \Delta t}{2} \\ &= \frac{(35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \times (20\; {\rm s})}{2} \\ &= 350\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

At $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ , the truck would have travelled a distance of $x = v\, t = 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} \times 20\; {\rm s} = 400\; {\rm m}$ .

In other words, at $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ , the truck was $400\; {\rm m} - 350\; {\rm m} = 50\; {\rm m}$ ahead of the car. The velocity of the car is greater than that of the truck by $35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 15 \; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ . It would take another $(50\; {\rm m}) / (15\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) = (10/3)\; {\rm s}$ before the car catches up with the truck.

Hence, the car would catch up with the truck at $t = (20 + (10/3))\; {\rm s} = (70 / 3)\; {\rm s}$ .

17. A distance-time graph indicates that an object moves 120 meters in 5 seconds and then remains at rest for 5 seconds. What is

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is distance moved per unit time and expressed as

S=d/t

S is speed, d is distance and t is time.

When at rest for five minutes, distance moved is zero hence speed is 0/5=0 m/s

When having moved 120 m for 5 s then speed is

S=120/5=24 m/s

Average speed is the average of these two speeda

Average speed=(24+0)÷2=24/2=12 m/s

Therefore, average speed is 12 m/s
