At 20 ◦C, a rod is exactly 20.05 cm long on a steel ruler. Both the rod and the ruler are placed in an oven at 270 ◦C, where the rod now measures 20.11 cm on the same ruler. What is the coefficient of linear expansion for the material of which the rod is made? Take αsteel = 1.2 × 10−5 K−1 .

Sara is creating an experiment. her hypothesis states the following. if i increase the air in my tires, then i will get better gas mileage. if this is her hypothesis what column titles do we need in our date table? a. air pressure in tire (psi) and gas mileage (mph) b. air pressure in the atmosphere (psi) and gas mileage (mph) c. miles (m) and gallons per mile (g) d. old battery and new battery

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 12 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h = 12t − 1.86t2. (a) find the velocity of the rock after two seconds. m/s (b) find the velocity of the rock when t = a. 12−3.72a m/s (c) when will the rock hit the surface? (round your answer to one decimal place.) t = s (d) with what velocity will the rock hit the surface? m/s

Under the action of a constant force an object accelerates at 7.8 m/s2. what will the acceleration be if (a) the force is halved? (b) the object's mass is halved? (c) the force and the object's mass are both halved? (d) the force is halved and the object's mass is doubled?
