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.

In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.0 m/s. Th

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.

Here final velocity $v=0 \ m/s$

initial velocity $u= 71 m/s$ distance

Distance covered in the slowing down phase = $250 m$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{2s}$

$a = \frac {(0^2-71^2)}{(2 \times 250)}=-10.082 \ m/s^2$

$v=u+at$

$t= \frac {(v-u)}{a}$

$= \frac {(0-71)}{(-10.082)}=7.042 s$

$t_1=7.042 s$

The car is in the pit stop for 5s $t_2=5 s$

After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s

$a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{(2\times s)} = \frac{(71^2-0^2)}{(2 \times 370)} =6.81 \ m/s^2$

$v=u+at$

$t= \frac{(v-u)}{a}$

$t= \frac{(71-0)}{6.81}= 10.425 s$

$t_3=10.425 s$

total time= $t_1 +t_2+t_3=7.042+5+10.425=22.467 s$

Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by $s=vt=71 \times 22.467= 1595.157 m$

Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time= $250+350=600 m$

Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird

= $1595.157-600=995.157 m$

Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.
