A new interstate highway is being built with a design speed of 120 km/h. For one of the horizontal curves, the radius (measured

to the innermost vehicle path) is tentatively planned as 300 m. The limiting value for coefficient of side friction at 120 km/h is 0.09. What rate of superelevation is required for this curve at the 120 km/h design speed

Answer:

28.79%

Explanation:

Given

Design Speed, V = 120km/h = 33.33m/s

Radius, R = 300m

Side Friction, Fs = 0.09

Gravitational Constant = 9.8m/s²

Using the following formula, we'll solve the required rate of superelevation.

e + Fs = V²/gR where e = rate

e = V²/gR - Fs

e = (33.33)²/(9.8 * 300) - 0.09

e = 0.287853367346938

e = 28.79%

Hence, the required rate of superelevation for the curve is calculated as 28.79%

What does frequency describe?
ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is:  <em>How often something happens.  </em>

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent".  That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz".  That's not for the car rental company.  It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist.  He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .

Which type of stress causes deformation that leads to earthquakes at converging plate boundaries?
ki77a [65]
The answer is <em>Compressional Stress
</em>

In geology, stress<span> is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. ... This is called confining </span>stress<span>. Compression squeezes rocks together, </span>causing<span> rocks to fold or fracture (break). Compression is the most common </span>stress<span> at </span>convergent plate boundaries<span>.

I hope this helped!! Have a great day :D</span>
