When solid material expands in response to an increase in temperature (thermal expansion), it can increase in length in a process known as linear expansion. for an example application of expansion and contraction.

examples =
(1) Changing of shape and dimensions of objects such as doors.
(2) Wall collapsing due to bulging.
(3) Cracking of glass tumbler due to heating.
(4) Bursting of metal pipes carrying hot water or steam are some of the disadvantages of thermal expansion of matter.

Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.75 keV from the co
DIA [1.3K]

0.6764*10^-10m

Explanation:

Using E= hc/wavelength

(4.14x10^-15)x(3.0x10^8)/(65x10^-12)=0.1911x10^5 eV=19.1 keV

So subtract the calculated energy from the given energy of scattered photons

9.11-0.75=18.36 keV

To find wavelength

Wavelength= hc/ E

[(4.14x 10^-15)x (3.0x10^8)]/(18.36*10^3) =0.6764^-10 m

A 53.4 kg girl is at rest on 3.55 kg skateboard. She jumps forward at 1.32 m/s. What is the velocity of the skateboard afterword
RoseWind [281]

M = mass of the girl = 53.4 kg

m = mass of skateboard = 3.55 kg

V' = velocity of the combination of girl and skateboard before she jumps forward = 0 \frac{m }{s}

V = velocity of the girl forward = 1.32 \frac{m }{s}

v = velocity of the skateboard afterward = ?

Using conservation of momentum

(M + m) V' = MV + m v

inserting the values

(53.4 + 3.55) (0) = (53.4) (1.32) + (3.55) v

v = - 19.86 \frac{m }{s}

What movements of water has the greatest effect on the growth of producers
kolbaska11 [484]
The movement of water that has the greatest effect on the growth of producers is <em><u>upwelling</u></em><em><u /></em>.

Upwelling is a rising of a liquid. The reason upwelling is much better for producers is because it is a slow rising in the water level, preventing erosion to the topsoil and still giving the necessary amount of water and nutrients the producers need.

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day and feel free to let me know if you need any more help with anything :D <span />

A low-luminosity star has a small and narrow ________, whereas a high-luminosity star has a large and wide one.
vova2212 [387]

A low-luminosity star has a small and narrow ​<u>habitable zone</u>, whereas a high-luminosity star has a large and wide one.

<h3>What is luminosity of a star?</h3>

The radiant power emitted by a light-emitting item over time is measured as luminosity, which is an absolute measure of radiated electromagnetic power (light).

The total quantity of electromagnetic energy released per unit of time by a star, galaxy, or other celestial object is referred to as luminosity in astronomy.

Wave traveling at 330 m/sec has a wavelength of 4.3 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

76.74 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Wave velocity ( v ) = 330 m / sec

wavelength ( λ ) = 4.3 m

We have to calculate Frequency ( f ):

We know:

v = λ / t [ f = 1 / t ]

v = λ f

= > f = v / λ

Putting values here we get:

= > f = 330 / 4.3 Hz

= > f = 3300 / 43 Hz

= > f = 76.74 Hz

Hence, frequency of sound is 76.74 Hz.
