The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the linear expansion coefficient of copper based on the given information about the change in diameter of a copper coin when its temperature is raised. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Information:** - Change in temperature (ΔT) = 80°C - Percentage increase in diameter = 0.2% 2. **Convert Percentage Increase to Decimal:** - The percentage increase in diameter can be expressed as a decimal: \[ \text{Increase in diameter} = \frac{0.2}{100} = 0.002 \] 3. **Use the Formula for Linear Expansion Coefficient (α):** - The linear expansion coefficient (α) is given by the formula: \[ \alpha = \frac{\Delta L / L_0}{\Delta T} \] - Here, ΔL is the change in length (or diameter in this case), L_0 is the original length (or diameter), and ΔT is the change in temperature. 4. **Substituting the Values:** - We can substitute the values into the formula: \[ \alpha = \frac{0.002}{80} \] 5. **Calculate α:** - Performing the calculation: \[ \alpha = \frac{0.002}{80} = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{°C}^{-1} \] 6. **Interpret the Results:** - The calculated linear expansion coefficient indicates how much the material expands per degree Celsius of temperature increase. 7. **Determine the Effects on Area and Volume:** - The increase in area (A) due to linear expansion is given by: \[ \text{Percentage increase in area} = 2 \times \text{Percentage increase in diameter} = 2 \times 0.2\% = 0.4\% \] - The increase in volume (V) is given by: \[ \text{Percentage increase in volume} = 3 \times \text{Percentage increase in diameter} = 3 \times 0.2\% = 0.6\% \] 8. **Conclusion:** - The increase in diameter is 0.2%, the increase in area is 0.4%, and the increase in volume is 0.6%. Therefore, the correct options based on the increase in area and volume are A, C, and D.
