Two rods are both precisely 10.000 cm long. Rod "A" is made of aluminum, while Rod "B" is made of steel. The linear expansion coefficient "alpha" is twice as large for aluminum (24 x 10^-6 K^-1) than for steel (12 x 10^-6 K^-1).
If Rod "A" is heated up by 10 degrees C, and Rod "B" is heated up by 20 degrees C, which one will be longer?
A) The aluminum rod ("A")
B) The steel rod ("B")
C) They will expand by the same amount,

C) They will expand by the same amount

Explanation:

Given;

original length of both rods, L₁ = 10 cm

linear expansion coefficient of rod A, α = 24 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹

temperature of rod A, θ = 10 °C

linear expansion coefficient of rod B, α = 12 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹

temperature of rod B,  θ =  20 °C

Increase in length for each rod is calculated as follows:

Rod "A" which is made of aluminum

L₂ = L₁(1 + αθ)

L₂ = 10 (1 +  24 x 10⁻⁶ x 10)

L₂ = 10 ( 1 + 24 x 10⁻⁵)

L₂ = 10 ( 1.00024)

L₂ = 10.0024 cm

Rod "B" which is made of steel

L₂ = L₁(1 + αθ)

L₂ = 10 (1 +  12 x 10⁻⁶ x 20)

L₂ = 10 ( 1 + 24 x 10⁻⁵)

L₂ = 10 ( 1.00024)

L₂ = 10.0024 cm

The two rods expanded by the amount.

Correct option is C; "They will expand by the same amount"

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

the answer is 3.1 his answer is wrong mines is right
