Hi There,
I have a handful of questions I need help with and figured compiling them in one thread was the best option. For the most part, I've added these because I just don't know where to start and can't figure it out at all. Here we go!QUESTION ONE:
A bar of copper with length 2.635m and a bar of Aluminum with length 2.628m are sitting at room temperature, T1 = 25C. At what temperature, T2, will the two have the same length?
The coefficient of thermal expansion of copper is 1.60x10-7 K-1 and of Aluminum is 2.25x10-7 K-1.
Linear Thermal Expansion: [tex]\Delta[/tex]L=[tex]\alpha[/tex]Lo[tex]\Delta[/tex]T
Lo = initial Length
The given choice of answers are in C, so I figured I had to convert the thermal expansion coefficients to C-1 but wasn't quite sure how to do that.
K = C + 273
I figured the expansion would be Lo + [tex]\Delta[/tex]L
I set that eq. for the Al and Cu bars equal, subbing in the [tex]\Delta[/tex]L with the equation above. My answer is off though, and I'm not sure if it's a matter of because I didn't convert my per Kelvin to per Celsius or what. I think it's an algebra thing but maybe I'm way off.
QUESTION TWO:
The sound level at a point X is 14db below the sound level at a point 1.0m from a point source. The distance from the source to point X is:
a) 2.0m
b) 25m
c) 5.0m
d) 20.2m
e) 4.0m
Decibels = 10 log (I/Io)
Io = threshold of hearing = 1x10-12 W/m2
I don't know where to start with this one!QUESTION THREE:
A heat conducting rod, 1.60m long, is made of an Al section, 0.90m long, and a Cu section, 0.70m long. Both sections have a cross sectional area of 0.0004m2. The Al end and the copper end are maintained at temperatures of 30C and 170C respectively. The thermal conductivieis of Al and Cu are: kal = 205 W/m K and kcu = 385 W/m K. The rate at which heat is conducted is:
a) 10W
b) 9W
c) 7.9W
d) 12W
E) 11W
Q = (kA[tex]\Delta[/tex]T)t/L
I couldn't figure out how to fit the t (time) into this at all, so perhaps I'm using the wrong equation?
k values were all given
A = 0.0004m2
[tex]\Delta[/tex]T = 170-30 = 140C
Otherwise, I am also confused with this one. Do I need to find a separate Q for both materials (Al and Cu)? And if so, what happens to that t (time) value?QUESTION FOUR:
A proton is fixed in place. A second proton is released from rest at a point 1.0cm away What will be the velocity of the second proton when it is a very large distance from the first?
Not sure, Wnc = 1/2 mvf2 ?
Proton at rest = vo = 0m/s
Proton mass = 1.67 x 10-27 kg
QUESTION FIVE:
A bus is moving at 37.00m/s towards a wall. The sound from the bus has an original wavelength of 0.1500m. The sound from the bus reflects off the wall. What frequency sound does an observer on the moving bus hear from the reflection??
Moving Observer: fo = fs (1 + vo/v)
v = [tex]\lambda[/tex]f
Is this doppler effect??
I'm assuming the wavelength will double given that it reflects off a wall?
So, [tex]\lambda[/tex] = 2(0.1500m) = 0.300m
vo = 37.00m/s
Since v = [tex]\lambda[/tex]f
vi = [tex]\lambda[/tex]fi
f = v / [tex]\lambda[/tex]
= (343m/s)(0.1500) = 2286.667hz
Subbing into equation:
fo = (2286.667hz)(1 + 37m/s / 343m/s) = 2533hz
Is that correct? I don't think it is because doing that didn't account for the reflection off the wall - unless I misunderstand how that works?
---------
Thanks for any help!
