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

lawyer [7]

Answer:

\vec F_{A} = -67500\,N\cdot (i + j)

Explanation:

The position of each point are the following:

A = (0\,m,0\,m,0\,m), B = (0.02\,m,0\,m,0\,m), C = (0\,m,0.02\,m,0\,m)

Since the three objects report charges with same sign, then, net force has a repulsive nature. The net force experimented by point charge A is:

\vec F_{A} = \vec F_{AB} + \vec F_{AC}

\vec F_{A} = -\frac{k\cdot q^{2}}{r_{AB}^{2}}\cdot i - \frac{k\cdot q^{2}}{r_{AC}^{2}}\cdot j

\vec F_{A} = - \frac{k\cdot q^{2}}{r^{2}} \cdot (i + j)

\vec F_{A} = -\frac{(9 \times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} )\cdot (3\times 10^{-9}\,C)}{(0.02\,m)^{2}}\cdot (i + j)

\vec F_{A} = -67500\,N\cdot (i + j)

An inventor claims to have developed a food freezer that at steady state requires a power input of 0.25 kW to extract energy by
Serga [27]

Answer:

investor claim is acceptable

Explanation:

given data

Win = 0.25 kW

Qc = 3000 J/s = 3kW

Th = 293 K

Tc = 270 K

solution

we get here coefficient of performance of cycle is

coefficient of performance = \frac{Qc}{Win}    ..................1

put here value and we get

coefficient of performance = \frac{3}{0.25}  

coefficient of performance = 1.2

and

coefficient of performance of ideal refrigeration is

coefficient of performance = \frac{Tc}{Th-Tc}    ..................2

coefficient of performance = \frac{270}{293-270}  

coefficient of performance = 11.74

and

we can see here that coefficient of performance of ideal refrigeration  is is more than real cycle coefficient of performance

so investor claim is acceptable
