Answer:

Federal agencies

Explanation:

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) also called between 1901 and 1988 National Bureau of Standards (NBS), it is an agency of the Technology Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. The mission of this institute is to promote innovation and industrial competition in the United States through advances in metrology, standards and technology in ways that improve economic stability and quality of life.

As part of this mission, NIST scientists and engineers continually refine the science of measurement (metrology) by creating precise engineering and manufacturing required for most current technological advances. They are also directly involved in the development and testing of standards made by the private sector and government agencies. The NIST was originally called the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), a name it had from 1901 to 1988. The progress and technological innovation of the United States depends on the abilities of the NIST, especially if we talk about four areas: biotechnology , nanotechnology, information technologies and advanced manufacturing.

When would working with machinery be a common type of caught-in and caught-between<br> hazard?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A working with machinery be a common type of caught-in and caught-between hazard is described below in complete detail.

Explanation:

“Caught in-between” accidents kill mechanics in a variety of techniques. These incorporate cave-ins and other hazards of tunneling activity; body parts extracted into unconscious machinery; reaching within the swing range of cranes and other installation material; caught between machine & fixed objects.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$X_B = 1.8 \times 10^{-3} m = 1.8 mm$

Explanation:

Given data:

Diffusion constant for nitrogen is $= 1.85\times 10^{-10} m^2/s$

Diffusion flux $= 1.0\times 10^{-7} kg/m^2-s$

concentration of nitrogen at high presuure = 2 kg/m^3

location on which nitrogen concentration is 0.5 kg/m^3 ......?

from fick's first law

$J = D \frac{C_A C_B}{X_A X_B}$

Take C_A as point on which nitrogen concentration is 2 kg/m^3

$x_B = X_A + D\frac{C_A -C_B}{J}$

Assume X_A is zero at the surface

$X_B = 0 + ( 12\times 10^{-11} ) \frac{2-0.5}{1\times 10^{-7}}$

$X_B = 1.8 \times 10^{-3} m = 1.8 mm$

Draw your vectors starting at the black dot. The orientation of your vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors wi

soldier1979 [14.2K]

A vector is a phenomenon which in mostly used in mathematics and physics and is related to direction and size.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In mathematics and physics, a vector is a component of a vector space. For some, particular vector spaces, the vectors have gotten explicit names, which are recorded beneath. Verifiably, vectors were presented in geometry and material science before the formalization of the idea of vector space.

A vector is an amount or phenomenon that has two autonomous properties: magnitude and direction. The term likewise means the numerical or geometrical portrayal of such an amount.
