4. In what ways were the brakes that Westinghouse invented different from the brakes used on trains before that?

1 answer:

6 0

A railway air brake is a railway brake power braking system with compressed air as the operating medium.new trains use a fail-safe air brake system that is based on a design patented by George Westinghouse on March 5, 1868.

I hope this helps

Researchers found that teens who have been teased about their weight by family members are _____ as likely as nonteased teens of

cricket20 [7]

Answer:twice

Explanation:Some teenagers have difficulty keeping up with the energy needs of their bodies and may be underweight. The reasons for this may be that they are growing taller, exercising a lot with sports, are too busy or distracted to eat appropriate meals, or might simply have a high metabolism (the way our body burns calories). Growing during the teen years requires more food energy than at other times of life. Teens can lose weight when they are burning more calories than they are taking in. Some teens grow at a different pace than their siblings or friends, and each teen will experience different periods of fluctuating weight. Your teen may follow a growth pattern similar to your own when you were her age.

In engineering, physics and chemistry, the study of transport phenomena concerns the exchange of mass, energy, charge, momentum and angular momentum between observed and studied systems. While it draws from fields as diverse as continuum mechanics and thermodynamics, it places a heavy emphasis on the commonalities between the topics covered. Mass, momentum, and heat transport all share a very similar mathematical framework, and the parallels between them are exploited in the study of transport phenomena to draw deep mathematical connections that often provide very useful tools in the analysis of one field that are directly derived from the others.

The fundamental analysis in all three subfields of mass, heat, and momentum transfer are often grounded in the simple principle that the total sum of the quantities being studied must be conserved by the system and its environment. Thus, the different phenomena that lead to transport are each considered individually with the knowledge that the sum of their contributions must equal zero. This principle is useful for calculating many relevant quantities. For example, in fluid mechanics, a common use of transport analysis is to determine the velocity profile of a fluid flowing through a rigid volume.

Transport phenomena are ubiquitous throughout the engineering disciplines. Some of the most common examples of transport analysis in engineering are seen in the fields of process, chemical, biological,[1] and mechanical engineering, but the subject is a fundamental component of the curriculum in all disciplines involved in any way with fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer. It is now considered to be a part of the engineering discipline as much as thermodynamics, mechanics, and electromagnetism.

Transport phenomena encompass all agents of physical change in the universe. Moreover, they are considered to be fundamental building blocks which developed the universe, and which is responsible for the success of all life on earth. However, the scope here is limited to the relationship of transport phenomena to artificial engineered systems.[2]

A community calendar allows nonprofit organizations to add events and their intended purposes for community members to see. Whic

Tems11 [23]

Answer: Activities, Recipient, Mission statement, Founding members.

Explanation:

The non-profit organization can be defined as the organization which provide support both financially and physical care to needy people for example people living in poor conditions, divorced women, slum and asylum children.

The calendar of community will include the activities to be conducted in near future by the non-profit organization, each activity will have the mission statement and beneficiary can be women, children and other members. The founding members of the community will be in-charge of the activities thus the names of members will be included. The donors may not like to reveal their charity for a particular purpose. There may be separate contributors for each activity.

What is a reason why encouraging adolescent girls and young women to participate in physical activities is essential?

kirill115 [55]

The answer is letter D. The reason why encouraging adolescent girls and young women to participate in physical activities is essential because adolescent girls and young women tend to gain more weight. In this period, there are changes in their body which supports heights and physical growth.
