Answers to Physics Questions: Temperature, Range, Forces, Spillage, and Speed

AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses several physics questions related to temperature, forces, and motion. It explores thermal expansion in relation to a brass and aluminum bar with an air gap, the calculation of a tennis ball's horizontal range after rolling down a hill, and the forces acting on a woman leaning against a wall. Additionally, it examines the spillage from a car radiator as temperature increases and the speed of fuel moving through a pump based on its density and radius. Each question is linked to specific physics concepts such as thermal expansion, kinetic energy, Newton's laws, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.

1. 1) You have a brass bar and an aluminum bar which are fastened to two immovable walls and there's an air gap between them. At a certain temperature, the gap measures a certain amount. What temperature will cause the gap to close?

2) A tennis ball starts from rest rolls down a hill and at the end of the hill becomes airborne. (diagram) Find the horizontal range that the ball drops in.

3) a woman leans against a wall. Find the forces on the woman. Theres horizontal force on her due to the wall and there's two forces vertical and horizontal on her shoes to the floor. Find them all. (forces due to wall on woman, forces due to ground on woman)

4) You have a radiator in car which is filled with a coolant at a certain temperature.Temperature increases to a very high number when car is operable. The radiator and the coolant gives off a spillage. Calculate the amount of spillage. (copper)

5) You have a fuel pump (in a car) and fuel is going at a certain rate and it has a certain density and radius of the fuel line. Find the speed at which the fuel will move through the line?






3. To what topics ( e.g. Work, Momentum, Torque, etc) do these statement relate to? for example, #2 i think relates or has to do with kinetic energy, what do you think about the rest of them?

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
