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%

Explain the relationship between lightning and storm clouds.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: Often lightning occurs between clouds or inside a cloud. But the lightning we usually care about most is the lightning that goes from clouds to ground.

Explanation:  As the storm moves over the ground, the strong negative charge in the cloud attracts positive charges in the ground.

victus00 [196]

Answer: A - a gap on each side of the clutch disk facing when disengaged

Explanation:

A clutch switch is used to ensure the clutch is disengaged

or Prevent the engine from starting unless the clutch pedal is depressed

When a clutch is disengageda gap will be on each side of the facing.

A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field. (a) For what orientation of the loop is the magnetic flux a maximum? The p
ra1l [238]

Answer:

1) The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

2) The magnetic flux is independent of the orientation of the loop.p

Explanation:

The flux is calculated as φ=BAcosθ. The flux is therefore the highest when the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to the plane of the loop We can also deduce that the flux is zero when there is no magnetic field part perpendicular to the loop When the angle reaches zero, the flux is in the limit because when the angle becomes zero, the cos is the maximum.
