Answer:

metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

Explanation:

The four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

i) Metals: Metals are solids made up of atoms held by matrix of electrons. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile and strong.

ii) Composite: This is a combination of two or more materials. They have high strength to weight ratio, stiff, low conductivity. E.g are wood, concrete.

iii) Ceramics: They are inorganic, non-metallic crystalline compounds with high hardness and strength as well as poor conductors of electricity and heat.

iv) Polymers: They have low weight and are poor conductors of electricity and heat

Air flows at 45m/s through a right angle pipe bend with a constant diameter of 2cm. What is the overall force required to keep t

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

b)1.08 N

Explanation:

Given that

velocity of air V= 45 m/s

Diameter of pipe = 2 cm

Force exerted by fluid F

$F=\rho AV^2$

So force exerted in x-direction

$F_x=\rho AV^2$

$F_x=1.2\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.02^2\times 45^2$

F=0.763 N

So force exerted in y-direction

$F_y=\rho AV^2$

$F_y=1.2\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.02^2\times 45^2$

F=0.763 N

So the resultant force R

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$R=\sqrt{0.763^2+0.763^2}$

R=1.079

So the force required to hold the pipe is 1.08 N.

What is the first test you should do when checking the charging system?

yan [13]

Answer:

Connect the test light in series with the negative post, and start pulling feed wires. The first to check is the heavy charging wire from the alternator. A bad or leaky diode in an alternator is a very common source of overnight battery drain. Connect wires one at a time to see what lead is drawing current.

A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.0-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s

shusha [124]

Answer:

The tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the ball, W = 150 N

length of the rope, r = 4 m

velocity of the ball, v = 5.6 m/s

When the ball passes through the lowest point, the tension on the rope is the sum of weight of the ball and centripetal force.

T = W + F

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

where;

m is the mass of the ball

m = W/g

m = 150 / 9.8 = 15.306 kg

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

F = (15.306 x 5.6²)/4

F = 120 N

T = W + F

T = 150 + 120

T = 270 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N
