A minor road intersects a major 4-lane divided road with a design speed of 55mph and a median width of 8 feet. The intersection

is controlled with a stop sign on the minor road. If the design vehicle is a passenger car, determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road that will allow a stopped vehicle on the minor road to safely turn left if the approach grade on the minor road is 3%.

Answer:

stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters

Explanation:

The Design Speed =55 MPH(Miles per Hour)

1 miles per hour =0.447 meter pe second

then 55MPH=55*0.447=24.58 meter per second

Consider recation time =2.5 second

Consider Co efficinet friction is 0.35

As per the Stopping sight distance based on the Breaking distance+ Lag distance

SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2gf))

SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*0.35))

The total stopping sight distance is =150 meters

if we consider the Approaching garde on the minor road is 3%

SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2g(f-n/100))

SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*(0.35-3/100))

then stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters

What are the four causes of electrical faults?
Arada [10]

Answer:

Electrical faults are also caused due to human errors such as selecting improper rating of equipment or devices, forgetting metallic or electrical conducting parts after servicing or maintenance, switching the circuit while it is under servicing, etc.

How do you extablish a chain of dimensions​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Certamente você conhece três dimensões: comprimento, largura e profundidade. Além disso, quando se pensa um pouco fora da caixa também seria possível adicionar a dimensão do tempo.

Provavelmente, algumas pessoas viajam na maionese quando toca-se nesse assunto. Vem em suas mentes universos paralelos e até mesmo realidades alternativas. Mas também não se trata disso.

Explanation:

Basicamente as dimensões são as facetas do que nós percebemos a ser realidade. Existem muitos debates sobre dimensões na física. Um dos que mais chamam a atenção se chama Teoria das Cordas.

A two-dimensional flow field described by
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

the answer is

Explanation:

<h2>  We now focus on purely two-dimensional flows, in which the velocity takes the form </h2><h2>u(x, y, t) = u(x, y, t)i + v(x, y, t)j. (2.1) </h2><h2>With the velocity given by (2.1), the vorticity takes the form </h2><h2>ω = ∇ × u = </h2><h2> </h2><h2>∂v </h2><h2>∂x − </h2><h2>∂u </h2><h2>∂y </h2><h2>k. (2.2) </h2><h2>We assume throughout that the flow is irrotational, i.e. that ∇ × u ≡ 0 and hence </h2><h2>∂v </h2><h2>∂x − </h2><h2>∂u </h2><h2>∂y = 0. (2.3) </h2><h2>We have already shown in Section 1 that this condition implies the existence of a velocity </h2><h2>potential φ such that u ≡ ∇φ, that is </h2><h2>u = </h2><h2>∂φ </h2><h2>∂x, v = </h2><h2>∂φ </h2><h2>∂y . (2.4) </h2><h2>We also recall the definition of φ as </h2><h2>φ(x, y, t) = φ0(t) + Z x </h2><h2>0 </h2><h2>u · dx = φ0(t) + Z x </h2><h2>0 </h2><h2>(u dx + v dy), (2.5) </h2><h2>where the scalar function φ0(t) is arbitrary, and the value of φ(x, y, t) is independent </h2><h2>of the integration path chosen to join the origin 0 to the point x = (x, y). This fact is </h2><h2>even easier to establish when we restrict our attention to two dimensions.

Identify an object in your house that contains a physical system and list three questions you could use to define the system
jonny [76]

Answer:

ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love
