Answer:

699.67ft

Explanation:

We are given with,

  • α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C
  • L₀ = 700 ft
  • ΔT = -10°C − 30°C = -40°C

Now, We have to find ΔL:

  • ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (700 ft) (-40°C)
  • ΔL = −0.336

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is −0.33ft.

<u>Therefore, the final length is approximately 700 ft − 0.33 ft = 699.67ft</u>.

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
erastova [34]

Answer

(C).

When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.


Step by step Solution

The work done by a force is defined as the product of the force and the distance traveled in the direction of motion.

The first answer "Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work" is wrong because, the force perpendicular to motion does no work.

The second choice "If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done" is wrong because the work in the direction of the force is W=F\times d.

Fourth answer "A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle" is wrong because the sin(90)=0 meaning that there is no work done in the direction perpendicular to the motion.

The third answer" When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered." is correct because the work is calculated using the force in the direction of the motion. The magnitude of this force is F\times d\times \cos(\theta).

A bowling ball that has a radius of 11.0 cm and a mass of 5.00 kg rolls without slipping on a level lane at 2.80 rad/s.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 5 kg

Radius of the ball, r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Angular velocity with which the ball rolls, \omega=2.8\ rad/s

To find,

The ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball.

Solution,

The translational kinetic energy of the ball is :

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times (0.11\times 2.8)^2

The rotational kinetic energy of the ball is :

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}I \omega^2

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\times \omega^2

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\times 5\times (0.11)^2\times (2.8)^2

Ratio of translational to the rotational kinetic energy as :

\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}

So, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball is 5:2

Eric has a mass of 70 . He is standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.7 . What is the approximate
pychu [463]

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

The value the scale shows is the reaction force to the normal force (they are equal by Newton's 3rd Law) that the scale exerts on Eric.

The forces on Eric are his weight (downward) and this normal force (upward), so we can write the net force over him as (also using Newton's 2nd Law):

F=W-N=ma

which means

N=W-ma=mg-ma=m(g-a)

and for our values this is:

N=mg-ma=(70kg)(9.8m/s^2-1.7m/s^2)=567N

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Explanation:

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed of the rock at 2m on the way down compare with its speed at 2m on the way up?

It decreases in speed on its way down and increases in speed on its way down.

it decreases in speed on its way up because the the vertical motion is against the earths gravitational pull on an object to the earth's center

.It increases in speed on his way down because its under the influence of gravity

from newton's equation of motion we can check by

using V^2=u^2+2as

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.
