A car starts at rest and moves along a perfectly straight highway with an acceleration of α1 = 10 m/s2 for a certain amount of t

ime t1. It then moves with constant speed (zero acceleration) for a time t2 and finally decelerates with an acceleration α2= -10 m/s2 for a time t3 until it comes to a complete stop. The total time of motion is t1 +t2+t3=25 s. The total distance travelled by the car is 1 km. Find t2 Hints: (i) Recognize that each segment of the journey is at constant acceleration! (ii) What is the relationship between the quantities t1, t2, and t3? Use this to help simplify the set of equations that you obtain during the solution process

Answer:

t1 = t3 = 5 seconds

t2 = 15 seconds

Explanation:

For t = t1

a = 10 m/s^2

v(t) = 10*t

s(t) = 5*t^2

Distance traveled = 5*t1^2

For t = t2

a = 0 m/s^2

v(t) = 10*t1

s(t) = 10*t1*t

Distance traveled = 10*t1*t2

For t = t3

a = -10 m/s^2

v(t) = -10*t

s(t) = - 5t^2

Distance traveled = 5t3^2

Sum of all distances = 5*t1^2 + 10*t1*(t2) + 5t3^2

1000 = 5t1^2 + 10t1t2 + 5t3^2 + 10*t1*t2 ....... Eq 1

Distance traveled in first and last segments are the same:

t1 = t3 ..... Eq 2

Given: t1+t2+t3 = 25  .... Eq 3

Solving Equations simultaneously:

Subs Eq 2 into Eq 3 & Eq 1

1000 = 5t1^2 + 10*t1*t2 + 5*t1^2

100 = t1^2 + t1*t2  ..... Eq 4

2t1 + t2 = 25

t2 = 25 - 2t1  .... Eq 5

Subs Eq 5 into Eq 4

100 =  t1^2 + t1*(25 - 2t1)

t1^2 -25t1 + 100 = 0

Solve for t1

t1 = 5 , 20 Hence, t1 = 5 sec is selected

t1 = t3 = 5 sec

t2 = 15 sec

The difference between an initial condition and a boundary condition for conduction in a solid is:___________
leva [86]

Answer:

c. an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.

Explanation:

Conduction refers to the transfer of thermal energy or electric charge as a result of the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

Hence, the difference between an initial condition and a boundary condition for conduction in a solid is that an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.

A 1000 W iron utilizes a resistance wire which is 20 inches long and has a diameter of 0.08 inches. Determine the rate of heat g
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume is 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux is 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

Explanation:

Rate of heat generation = 1000 W = 1000/0.29307 = 3412.15 Btu/hr

Area (A) = πD^2/4

Diameter (D) = 0.08 inches = 0.08 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 0.0067 ft

A = 3.142×0.0067^2/4 = 3.53×10^-5 ft^2

Volume (V) = A × Length

L = 20 inches = 20 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 1.67 ft

V = 3.53×10^-5 × 1.67 = 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3

Rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3 = 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 3.53×10^-5 ft^2 = 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

I gave 15 min to finish this java program
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

class TriangleNumbers

{

public static void main (String[] args)

{

 for (int number = 1; number <= 10; ++number) {

  int sum = 1;

  System.out.print("1");

  for (int summed = 2; summed <= number; ++summed) {

   sum += summed;

   System.out.print(" + " + Integer.toString(summed));

  }

  System.out.print(" = " + Integer.toString(sum) + '\n');

 }

}

}

Explanation:

We need to run the code for each of the 10 lines. Each time we sum  numbers from 1 to n. We start with 1, then add numbers from 2 to n (and print the operation). At the end, we always print the equals sign, the sum and a newline character.

What are the advantages of triggering circuit<br> for thyrestors?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

For most applications, it is simple, dependable, efficient, and straightforward to apply - a simple trigger signal may be provided, with appropriate processing if necessary. This implies that an appropriate trigger signal may be generated using other electrical circuits and then applied to the SCR.
