Thermal Expansion: Suppose that a rigid aluminum wire were to be strung out in a loop that just fits snugly around the equator (assuming a perfectly spherical Earth with a radius of 6.37 × 106 m). If the temperature of the wire is increased by 0.50°C, and the increase in length is distributed equally over the entire length, how far off the ground will the wire loop be if it remained centered on the earth? The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is 24 × 10-6 K-1.

A car goes around a circular curve on a horizontal road at constant speed. What is the direction of the friction force on the car due to the road?

A) tangent to the curve in the forward direction B) tangent to the curve opposite to the direction of the car's motion C) perpendicular to the curve outward D) perpendicular to the curve inward E) There is no friction on the car because its speed is constant.
