Answer:
a) W = 25.5 lbf
b) W = 150 lbf
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of astronaut = 150 lbm
local gravity = 5.48 ft/s^2
a) weight on spring scale
it can be calculated by measuring force against local gravitational force which is equal to weight of body
W = mg
b) As we know that beam scale calculated mass only therefore no change in mass due to variation in gravity
thus W= 150 lbf
Answer:
A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant
Explanation:
A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down
Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way
1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication
2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted
3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system
4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc
5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle
Answer:
Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.
Explanation:
Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.
Given:
Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:
Method (a)
Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.
Method (b)
Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.
Method (c)
Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.
Calculation:
Step1
Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:
$/kj.
Step2
Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:
$/kj.
Step3
Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:
$/kj.
Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.
So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.
Answer:
G = $37,805.65
Explanation:
I found this on another site:
475,000 = 25,000(P/A,10%,6) + G(P/G,10%,6)
475,000 = 25,000(4.3553) + G(9.6842)
9.6842G = 366,117.50
G = $37,805.65
Answer:D
Explanation:
Take longer time to retrieve than long term memory, involves transient modifications in the function of pre existing synapses, such as channel modifications.
