Answer:
128.21 m
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial temperature (θ₁) = 4 °C
Final temperature (θ₂) = 43 °C
Change in length (ΔL) = 8.5 cm
Coefficient of linear expansion (α) = 17×10¯⁶ K¯¹)
Original length (L₁) =.?
The original length can be obtained as follow:
α = ΔL / L₁(θ₂ – θ₁)
17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(43 – 4)
17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(39)
17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / 39L₁
Cross multiply
17×10¯⁶ × 39L₁ = 8.5
6.63×10¯⁴ L₁ = 8.5
Divide both side by 6.63×10¯⁴
L₁ = 8.5 / 6.63×10¯⁴
L₁ = 12820.51 cm
Finally, we shall convert 12820.51 cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:
100 cm = 1 m
Therefore,
12820.51 cm = 12820.51 cm × 1 m / 100 cm
12820.51 cm = 128.21 m
Thus, the original length of the wire is 128.21 m
Answer: V = 15 m/s
Explanation:
As stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,
F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz
Using doppler effect formula
F = C/ ( C - V) × f
Where
F = observed frequency
f = source frequency
C = speed of light = 3×10^8
V = speed of the car
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10
2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)
1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)
Cross multiply
300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8
Collect the like terms
1.000000049V = 14.71429
Make V the subject of formula
V = 14.71429/1.000000049
V = 14.7 m/s
The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately
Answer:
270 mi/h
Explanation:
Given that,
To the south,
v₁ = 300 mi/h, t₁ = 2 h
We can find distance, d₁
To the north,
v₂ = 250 mi/h, d₂ = 750 miles
We can find time, t₂
Now,
Average speed = total distance/total time
Hence, the average speed for the trip is 270 mi/h.
