A driver is traveling at 52 mi/h on a wet road. an object is spotted on the road 415 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to

a stop just before hitting the object. assuming standard perception/ reaction time and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.

Answer:

G = 0.424

Explanation:

Ds = ( 0.278tr * V ) + (0.278 * V²)/ ( 19.6* ( f ± G))

Where Ds = stopping sight distance = 415miles = 126.5m

G = absolute grade road

V = velocity of vehicle = 52miles/hr

f = friction = 0 because the road is wet

tr = standard perception / reaction time = 2.5s

So therefore:

Substituting to get G

We have

2479.4G = 705.6G + 751.72

1773.8G = 751.72

G = 751.72/1773.8

G = 0.424

A hollow pipe is submerged in a stream of water so that the length of the pipe is parallel to the velocity of the water. If the
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

increases by a factor of 6.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the initial cross sectional area of the pipe is A m² while the initial velocity of the water is V m/s², hence the flow rate of the water is:

Initial flow rate = area * velocity = A * V = AV m³/s

The water speed doubles (2V m/s) and the cross-sectional area of the pipe triples (3A m²), hence the volume flow rate becomes:

Final flow rate = 2V * 3A = 6AV m³/s = 6 * initial flow rate

Hence, the volume flow rate of the water passing through it increases by a factor of 6.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

a)  m=0.17kg/s

b)  Ma=0.89

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure P=60kPa

Diameter d=3cm

Generally at sea level

T_0=288k\\\\\rho_0=1.225kg/m^3\\\\P_0=101350Pa\\\\r=1.4

Generally the Power series equation for Mach number is mathematically given by

\frac{p_0}{p}=(1+\frac{r-1}{2}Ma^2)^{\frac{r}{r-1}}

\frac{101350}{60*10^3}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}Ma^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

Ma=0.89

Therefore

Mass flow rate

\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}(0.89)^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

\frac{1.225}{\rho}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}(0.89)^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

\rho=0.848kg/m^3

Generally the equation for Velocity at throat is mathematically given by

V=Ma(r*T_0\sqrt{T_e})

Where

T_e=\frac{P_e}{R\rho}\\\\T_e=\frac{60*10^6}{288*0.842\rho}

T_e=248

Therefore

V=0.89(1.4*288\sqrt{248})\\\\V=284

Generally the equation for Mass flow rate is mathematically given by

m=\rho*A*V

m=0.84*\frac{\pi}{4}*3*10^{-2}*284

m=0.17kg/s

Technician A states that a brake lathe is used to make a used brake rotor surface "like new". Technician B states that a brake l
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Both Technician A and B are correct.

Explanation: A brake lathe is a special tool used to improve or work on the surface of brake pads it helps to smoothen the surface.

Brake lathe has been found to be very effective in removing rusts in rotors and unevenness in the brake pad surfaces in order to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the brake system of a vehicle. Hence, a brake lathe helps to make brake rotor surface as smooth as possible.
