Answer: 0.0138 m^2 = 138 cm^2
Explanation:
The thermal expansion is the term use for the physical phenomena of dilation of the objects when they are exposed to changes in temperature.
The objects dilate when they are heated and contract when they are cooled.
The dilation is proportional to the change in temperatur.
For linear dilation, the proportionality constant is called linear dilation coefficient of the materials, it is named α and is measured in °C ^-1.
ΔL = α * Lo * ΔT, which means that the dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original length (Lo) and the change of temperature (ΔT).
There is also superficial dilation, for which the dilation is:
ΔA = β * Ao * ΔT, which means that the superficial dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original area (Ao) and the change of temperature (ΔT).
It is very interesting and important to solve problems that β = 2α, because regularly you will find the values of α for different materials and so, you just to multiply it times 2 to use β.
For this problem:
- Original area, Ao = area of the flat roof at - 10°C = 2.0m * 3.0m = 6.0 m^2.
- α for aluminum = 24 * 10^ -6 °C^-1.
- ΔT = 38°C - (-10°C) = 48°C
So, ΔA = 6.0m^2 * (2 * 24*10^-6 °C&-1) * 48°C = 0.0138 m^2
And that is the area that should stick out in summer to fit the structure during cold winter nights.
You can pass that number to cm^2 to grasp better the idea of this size:
0.0138 m^2 * (100 cm)^2 / m^2 = 138 cm^2
When you refer to how close a measured value is to a standard, accepted or known value, you are talking about the ACCURACY of the data. This is the definition of accuracy when it comes to engineering and other fields of science.
Accuracy is usually associated or with the term precision, as their definitions are often interchanged.
The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. X-rays have greater frequency than microwaves. In a electromagnetic spectrum, the order in increasing frequency is as follows:
radio waves,microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation,X-rays<span> and gamma </span>rays<span>.</span>
