PART ONE
A steel railroad track has a length of 28 m
when the temperature is 2◦C.
What is the increase in the length of the
rail on a hot day when the temperature is
35 ◦C? The linear expansion coefficient of
steel is 11 × 10^−6 (◦C)−1. Answer in units of m.

PART TWO
Suppose the ends of the rail are rigidly
clamped at 2◦C to prevent expansion.
Calculate the thermal stress in the rail if
its temperature is raised to 35 ◦C. Young’s
modulus for steel is 20 × 10^-10 N/m2
Answer in units of N/m2

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.

Imagine an isolated positive point charge q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). there is a charged particle a (whose charge is much smaller than charge q) at a distance from the point charge q. on which of the following quantities does the magnitude of the electric field created by charge q at particle a's position depend? check all that apply. the type of the charge on the charged particle athe relative orientation between q and a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the specific location of the charged particle a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the amount of the charge on the point charge qthe specific location of the point charge q (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the distance between the point charge q and the charged particle athe amount of the charge on the charged particle a
