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.

The charges on the proton and electron are typically measured in: Select the correct answer below: volts amperes coulombs dalton
malfutka [58]

Answer: columbs

Explanation:

Electrical charge are measured in columbs, usually demoted as C. Hence, the charges on proton and electron will be measured in Coloumbs. It typically measures the amount of electricity conveyed per second by a current of 1 ampere. The other units Given such as ; Volt is used for measuring voltage, which is the pressure in an electrical source. AMPERE is used for measuring the current flowing through an electrical circuit.

Dalton is a unit of mass and is about 1.660 * 10^-27 kg

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

the net toque is τ=8.03* 10⁻⁴ N*m

Explanation:

Assuming the disk has constant density ρ, the moment of inertia I of is

I = ∫r² dm

since m = ρ*V = ρπR² h , then dm= 2ρπh r dr

thus

I = ∫r²dm = ∫r²2ρπh r dr =2ρπh ∫r³ dr = 2ρπh (R⁴/4- 0⁴/4)= ρπhR⁴ /2= mR²/2

replacing values

I = mR²/2= 0.017 kg * (0.06 m)²/2 = 3.06 *10⁻⁵ kg*m²

from Newton's second law applied to rotational motion

τ= Iα , where τ=net torque and α= angular acceleration

since the angular velocity ω is related with the angular acceleration through

ω= ωo + α*t → α =(ω-ωo)/t =  (21 rad/s-0)/0.8 s = 26.25 rad/s²

therefore

τ= Iα= 3.06 *10⁻⁵ kg*m²*26.25 rad/s² = 8.03* 10⁻⁴ N*m

A 1200 Kg car rounds a corner of radius r = 45m. If the coefficient of static friction between the ties and the road is us = 0.8
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The greatest speed of the car is 19.36m/s

Explanation:

The maximum speed the car will attain without skidding is given by:

F= uN = umg ...eq1

But F = mv^2/r

mv^2/r = umg

Dividing both sides by m, leaves you with:

V= Sqrt(ugr)

Where u = coefficient of static friction

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = raduis

Given:

U = 0.82

r=0.82

g= 9.8m/s

V = Sqrt(0.82 × 9.8 × 45)

V = Sqrt(374.85)

V = 19.36m/s
