a rod of some material 0.20 m long elongates 0.20 mm on heating from 21 to 120°c. determine the value of the linear coefficient

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion is : α=1.01 *10⁻⁵ (ºC)⁻¹

Explanation:

Li = 0.2m

ΔL = 0.2 mm = 0.0002m

T1 = 21ºC

T2 = 120ºC

ΔT =99ºC

α =ΔL/(Li*ΔT)

α =0.0002m /(0.2m * 99ºC)

α = 1.01 *10⁻⁵ (ºC)⁻¹

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm sli

Orlov [11]

Answer:

a.3.20m

b.0.45cm

Explanation:

a. Equation for minima is defined as: $sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}$

Given $m=3$ , $\lambda=6.33\times 10^-^7$ and $\alpha=0.00015$ :

#Substitute our variable values in the minima equation to obtain $\theta$ :

$\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{3\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01266rad$

#draw a triangle to find the relationship between $\theta, y \$ and $L$ .

$tan(\theta)=y/L$ #where $y=4.05cm$

$L=y/tan(\theta)=3.20$

Hence the screen is 3.20m from the split.

b. To find the closest minima for green(the fourth min will give you the smallest distance)

#Like with a above, the minima equation will be defined as:

$sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}$ , where $m=4$ given that it's the minima with the smallest distance.

$sin \theta=\frac{4\lambda}{\alpha}\\\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{4\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01688rad$

#we then use $tan(\theta)=y/L$ to calculate $L$ =4.5cm

Then from the equation subtract $y_3$ from $y$ :

$4.50cm-4.05cm=0.45cm$

Hence, the distance $\bigtriangleup y$ is 0.45cm

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

v = 13.19 m / s

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using Newton's second law, we create a reference system where the x-axis is perpendicular to the cylinder and the Y-axis is vertical

X axis

N = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

a = v² / r

Y Axis

fr -W = 0

fr = W

The force of friction is

fr = μ N

Let's calculate

μ (m v² / r) = mg

μ v² / r = g

v² = g r / μ

v = √ (g r /μ)

v = √ (9.8 11 / 0.62)

v = 13.19 m / s
