In 2009, Melissa developed a hydrogen powered engine for a car while working in her garage in her spare time. Melissa installed

the engine in a small car that she has been driving around town. In 2012, engineers working for Ford Motor Co. independently developed an identical hydrogen powered engine. After completing tests on the engine for two years, Ford filed a patent for the engine on March 1, 2014. On March 2, 2014, Melissa also filed for a patent for her engine. Assuming the engine satisfies all of the requirements for a patent, who is entitled to the patent?

Answer:

Ford

Explanation:

It's true that Melissa was the first person to develop a hydrogen powered engine for a car. The efforts of engineers from Ford Motor Co. were also independent and they also developed a similar engine as Melissa. Now when it comes to records of filing patent, Ford Motor was the first and as per the rules of patenting, the first person or organization to file patent is entitled to the patent. Therefore, Ford deserves the patent.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the displacement will be converted into vector, considering east as x axis and north as y axis.

5.3 km north

D = 5.3 j

8.3 km at 50 degree north of east

D₁= 8.3 cos 50 i + 8.3 sin 50 j.

= 5.33 i + 6.36 j

Let D₂ be the displacement which when added to D₁ gives the required displacement D

D₁ + D₂ = D

5.33 i + 6.36 j + D₂ = 5.3 j

D₂ = 5.3 j - 5.33i - 6.36j

= - 5.33i - 1.06 j

magnitude of D₂

D₂²= 5.33² + 1.06²

D₂ = 5.43 km

Angle θ

Tanθ = 1.06 / 5.33

= 0.1988

θ =11.25 ° south of due west.

Suppose that you connect the terminals of two batteries of different emfs positive to positive and negative to negative (opposin
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.69 m above the bottom of the chute with
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 6.94 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation

Starting point. Higher

            Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h

Final point. Lower

            Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

            Em₀ = Em_{f}

            ½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = v₀² + 2 g h

             

Let's calculate

             v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)

             v = 5.89 m / s

In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

            W = ΔK

            -fr x = 0- ½ m v²  

               

Newton's second law

              N- W = 0

     

The equation for the friction is

               fr = μ N

               fr = μ m g

We replace

             μ m g x = ½ m v²

             x = v² / 2μ g

Let's calculate

            x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)

            x = 6.94 m

An aluminum wire is 5.87 m long and has a diameter of 6.07 mm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to calculate the cross sectional area of the cable:

Diameter (D)=6.07 mm

Since: 1000mm = 1m

6.07mm/ 1000mm/m = 0.00607 meters

Area of a circle : π (d/2)^2

A = π (0.00607/2)^2= 0.000028937 m2

Resistance formula:

Resistance (R) = P(resistivity) L (length)÷A (cross sectional area )

Replacing with the values given:

R = (2.82x10-8 x 5.87) / 0.000028937

R = 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
