<span>During
adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog, drivers should take
action accordingly by turning on their headlights, slowing down and
increasing following distance. Adverse weather means that you are driving in difficult and dangerous conditions. Increasing following distance will help you to maintain safe driving and avoid tailgating. </span>
Force = mass × acceleration = kg × m/s^2 = Newton
The frequency of any wave is (speed) / (wavelength).
Frequency = (330 m/s) / (2m) = 165 per second = <em>165 Hz</em>.
Period = 1 / frequency = 1 / (165 per second) = <em>0.0061 second </em>
Answer:
The polytropic exponent (n) is 1.2
The amount of energy transfer by work is 552.45 Btu
Explanation:
P1V1^n = P2V2^n
P1 = 75 lbf/in^2 = 75 lbf/in^2 × 143.3 in^2/ft^2 = 10,747.5 lbf/ft^2
V1 = 4 ft^3/lb × 10 lb = 40 ft^3
P2 = 20 lbf/in^2 = 20 × 143.3 = 2866 lbf/ft^2
V2 = 12 ft^3/lb × 10 lb = 120 ft^3
(V2/V1)^n = P1/P2
(120/40)^n = 10747.5/2866
3^n = 3.75
ln 3^n = ln 3.75
n ln 3 = ln 3.75
n = ln 3.75/ln 3 = 1.2
W = (P2V2 - P1V1)/1 - n = (2866×120 - 10747.5×40)/1-1.2 = (343,920 - 429,900)/-0.2 = -85,980/-0.2 = 429,900 lbf.ft = 429,900/778.17 Btu = 552.45 Btu
