A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the

right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles, and the peak hour factor is 0.90. Determine the hourly volume for these conditions.

Answer:

4.071 veh/h.

Explanation:

Step one: calculate the estimated free flow speed by using the formula below;

= 75.4 - F(L) - F(C) - 3.22T^ 0.84.

The value of F(L) = 1.9 m/h and F(C) = 0.8 m/h.

Hence,

free flow speed = 75.4 - 1.9 - 0.8 - 3.22(3/6)^0.84.

free flow speed= 75.4 - 1.9 - 0.8 - 1.799

free flow speed= 70.901 mi/h = 70 mi/h.

Step two: determine the adjustment factor by using the formula below;

The adjustment factor = 1/ [1 + Pm (Em - 1) + Pn (En - 1)].

The adjustment factor = 1/[ 1+ 10/100 ( 2.5 - 1) + 0(2.0 - 1] = 0.869.

Step three;

Calculate the hourly volume;

The value corresponding to the LOS C conditions and free flow speed at 70 mi/h is 1735.

Therefore,

hourly volume, V = 1735 × 0.9 × 0.869 × 3.

Hourly volume, V = 4.071 veh/h.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

24Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of their combined resistance, when read with a DMM (Digital Multimeter - for measuring various properties of a circuit or circuit element such as resistance...) is the sum of the reciprocals of their individual resistances.

For example if two resistors of resistances R₁ and R₂ are connected together in parallel, the reciprocal of their combined resistance Rₓ is given by;

$\frac{1}{R_x}$ = $\frac{1}{R_1}$ + $\frac{1}{R_2}$

Solving for Rₓ gives;

$R_{x}$ = $\frac{R_1 * R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$ ------------------(i)

From the question;

Let

R₁ = resistance of first resistor = 40Ω

R₂ = resistance of second resistor = 60Ω

Now,

To get their combined or total resistance, Rₓ, substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

$R_{x}$ = $\frac{40 * 60}{40 + 60}$

$R_{x}$ = $\frac{2400}{100}$

$R_{x}$ = 24 Ω

Therefore, the total resistance is 24Ω

If 100 J of heat is added to a system so that the final temperature of the system is 400 K, what is the change in entropy of the

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

0.25 J/K

Explanation:

Given data in given question

heat (Q) = 100 J

temperature (T) = 400 K

to find out

the change in entropy of the given system

Solution

we use the entropy change equation here i.e

ΔS = ΔQ / T ...................a

Now we put the value of heat (Q) and Temperature (T) in equation a

ΔS is the entropy change, Q is heat and T is the temperature,

so that

ΔS = 100/400 J/K

ΔS = 0.25 J/K

A company intends to market a new product and it estimates that there is a 20% chance that it will be first in the market

Stells [14]

The EMV - Ending Market Value is given as:
$2,400,000.

<h3>How is the EMV Arrived At?</h3>

The EMV is given as:

BMV x (i + r); Where

BMV is the Beginning Market Value; and

r is the interest rateor percentage given.

Hence the EMV = 2,000,000 x ( 1 + 20%)

= 2,000,000 x 1.2

= $ 2, 400,000.

It is to be noted that the BMV is the Beginning Market Value which is the value of an investment at the start of the business period.

A bus travels the 100 miles between A and B at 50 mi/h and then another 100 miles between B and C at 70 mi/h.

stira [4]

Answer:

c. less than 60 mi/h

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the bus, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the bus, as well as the total time of travel of the bus.

Total Distance Traveled = S = 100 mi + 100 mi

S = 200 mi

Now, for total time, we calculate the times for both speeds from A to b and then B to C, separately and add them.

Total Time = t = Time from A to B + Time from B to C

t = (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) + (100 mi)(70 mi/h)

t = 2 h + 1.43 h

t = 3.43 h

Now, the average speed of bus will be given as:

Average Speed = V = S/t

V = 200 mi/3.43 h

<u>V = 58.33 mi/h</u>

It is clear from this answer that the correct option is:

<u>c. less than 60 mi/h</u>
