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

A battery with an f.e.m. of 12 V and negligible internal resistance is connected to a resistor of 545 How much energy is dissipa
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

When are resistors in series? Resistors are in series whenever the flow of charge, called the current, must flow through devices sequentially. For example, if current flows through a person holding a screwdriver and into the Earth, then  

R

1

 in Figure 1(a) could be the resistance of the screwdriver’s shaft,  

R

2

 the resistance of its handle,  

R

3

 the person’s body resistance, and  

R

4

 the resistance of her shoes.

Figure 2 shows resistors in series connected to a voltage source. It seems reasonable that the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances, considering that the current has to pass through each resistor in sequence. (This fact would be an advantage to a person wishing to avoid an electrical shock, who could reduce the current by wearing high-resistance rubber-soled shoes. It could be a disadvantage if one of the resistances were a faulty high-resistance cord to an appliance that would reduce the operating current.)

Two electrical circuits are compared. The first one has three resistors, R sub one, R sub two, and R sub three, connected in series with a voltage source V to form a closed circuit. The first circuit is equivalent to the second circuit, which has a single resistor R sub s connected to a voltage source V. Both circuits carry a current I, which starts from the positive end of the voltage source and moves in a clockwise direction around the circuit.

Figure 2. Three resistors connected in series to a battery (left) and the equivalent single or series resistance (right).

To verify that resistances in series do indeed add, let us consider the loss of electrical power, called a voltage drop, in each resistor in Figure 2.

According to Ohm’s law, the voltage drop,  

V

, across a resistor when a current flows through it is calculated using the equation  

V

=

I

R

, where  

I

 equals the current in amps (A) and  

R

 is the resistance in ohms  

(

Ω

)

. Another way to think of this is that  

V

 is the voltage necessary to make a current  

I

 flow through a resistance  

R

.

So the voltage drop across  

R

1

 is  

V

1

=

I

R

1

, that across  

R

2

 is  

V

2

=

I

R

2

, and that across  

R

3

 is  

V

3

=

I

R

3

. The sum of these voltages equals the voltage output of the source; that is,

V

=

V

1

+

V

2

+

V

3

.

 

This equation is based on the conservation of energy and conservation of charge. Electrical potential energy can be described by the equation  

P

E

=

q

V

, where  

q

 is the electric charge and  

V

 is the voltage. Thus the energy supplied by the source is  

q

V

, while that dissipated by the resistors is

q

V

+

q

V
