Answer:

\Delta L = 4.2 m

Explanation:

As per the formula of thermal expansion we know that

L = L_o(1 + \alpha\Delta T)

so here we will have

L_o = 1400 m

\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC

\Delta T = 250 degree C

so here change in the length of the rod is given as

\Delta L = L - L_o

\Delta L = L_o \alpha \Delta T

\Delta L = 1400 (12 \times 10^{-6})(250)

\Delta L = 4.2 m

Rasek [7]

Answer:

99.95%

Explanation:

A double pulsar system named PSR J0737-3039A/B  in Puppis constellation was discovered in the year 2003. Pulsars are second most densest object in the universe after black holes and they emit radio waves at regular intervals. This pair presented a great and natural setup to test the Theory of General Relativity presented by Einstein in 1915. In this theory Einstein had presented a set of equations on how the space-time fabric will be curved because of the very dense objects such as Neutron stars. It also predicted how the gravitational waves are created because of stars orbiting each other.

A team of astrophysicists led by Michael Kramer, conducted a study on how these gravitational waves will impact the time in which the radio waves emitted by pulsars will reach Earth. The result of the study proved the theory of General Relativity to be accurate up to 99.95%.

For which of the following problems would a scientist most likely use carbon-14?
spayn [35]

Answer:

To calculate the age of a piece of bone

Explanation:

Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is  normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.

Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.

A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.

When a gas is rapidly compressed (say, by pushing down a piston) its temperature increases. When a gas expands against a piston,
shusha [124]

Answer:

Explained in explanation

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system(ΔU) is equal to the sum of the net heat transfer into the system(Q) and the net work done on the system(W). In equation, this law is;

ΔU = Q + W

Now, when there's gas inside a container with a movable piston that's tightly fitting, we will assume that the piston can move up and down thereby compressing the gas or allowing the gas to expand against it.

Now these gas molecules inside the container possess kinetic energy. Thus, the internal energy(U) of the system is simply the sum of all the kinetic energies of the individual gas molecules present in the container.

Therefore, if the temperature(T) of the gas increases, then the speed and internal energy(U) of the gas molecules will also increase. In the same way, if the temperature of the gas decreases, the speed and internal energy of the gas molecules would also decrease.

Now, back to the question, when the piston is pushed down, it does work on the gas and the gas does negative work on the piston. Thus, the gas will be get compressed to a smaller space, and thereby making the gas molecules to hit the piston at a faster rate. Thus, there is a decrease in speed and as we saw earlier that when there is a decrease in speed, it means temperature has decreased.

Whereas, when the piston is moved up, the gas does positive work on the piston and the speed of the gas molecules will increase. Like I said earlier that increase in speed means increase in temperature.

A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe
natta225 [31]
First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.


Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.

How, if at all, would the equations written in Parts C and E change if the projectile was thrown from the cliff at an angle abov
sveta [45]

Answer:

x = v₀ cos θ   t ,   y = y₀ + v₀ sin θ t - ½ g t2

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise, in this case we will write the equations for the x and y axes

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity

              sin θ = v_{oy} / v₀

              cos θ = v₀ₓ / v₀

              v_{y} = v_{oy} sin θ

              v₀ₓ = vo cos θ

now let's write the equations of motion

X axis

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = v₀ cos θ   t

        vₓ = v₀ cos θ

Y axis

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t2

        y = y₀ + v₀ sin θ t - ½ g t2

        v_{y} = v₀ - g t

       v_{y} = v₀  sin θ - gt

        v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^2 sin² θ - 2 g y

As we can see the fundamental change is that between the horizontal launch and the inclined launch, the velocity has components
