To reduce the drag coefficient and thus improve the fuel efficiency of cars,the design of side rearview mirrors has changed dram

atically in recent decades from asimple circular plate to a streamlined shape. Determine the amount of fuel and moneysaved per year as a result of replacing a 15-cm-diameter flat mirror by one with ahemispherical back. Assume the car is driven 25,000 km a year at an average speedof 95 km/hr. Take the density and price of gasoline to be 0.75 kg/L and $0.90/L,respectively; the heating value of gasoline to be 44,000 kJ/kg and the overall efficiencyof the engine to be 30 percent.

If a lever operates at a mechanical disadvantage, it means that the ________.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': Load is far from fulcrum and the effort is applied near the fulcrum

Explanation:

A lever works on the principle of balancing of torques. The torque about the fulcrum by the load should be equal to the torque by the applied effort. Since we know that the torque is proportional to both the force and the distance it is applied from the distance from the axis of rotation. A lever is used when we need to lift a heavy load by utilizing this effect of the lever arm.

A mechanical disadvantage occurs when we are not able to lift the weight easily due to the fact we apply effort near the fulcrum.

Provide an argument justifying the following claim: The average (as defined here) of two Java ints i and j is representable as a
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

public static int average(int j, int k) {

return (int)(( (long)(i) + (long)(j) ) /2 );

}

Explanation:

The above code returns the average of two integer variables

Line 1 of the code declares a method along with 2 variables

Method declared: average of integer data type

Variables: j and k of type integer, respectively

Line 2 calculates the average of the two variables and returns the value of the average.

The first of two integers to average is j

The second of two integers to average is k

The last parameter ensures average using (j+k)/2

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

(a) 0.12924

(b) Taking into consideration significance level of 0.05 yet the value of p is greater than 0.05, it suggests that the coin is fair hence the coin can be used at the beginning of any sport event.

Explanation:

(a)

n=200 for fair coin getting head, p= 0.5

Expectation = np =200*0.5=100

Variance = np(1 - p) = 100(1-0.5)=100*0.5=50

Standard deviation, s = \sqrt {variance}=\sqrt {50}= 7.071068

Z value for 108, z =\frac {108-100}{7.071068}= 1.131371

P( x ≥108) = P( z >1.13)= 0.12924

(b)

Taking into consideration significance level of 0.05 yet the value of p is greater than 0.05, it suggests that the coin is fair hence the coin can be used at the beginning of any sport event.
