A device is needed to accelerate a 3000 lb vehicle into a barrier with constant velocity to test its 5 mph bumpers. The vehicle

will start at rest, move forward, and have constant velocity for the last part of its motion before striking the barrier with the specified velocity.
Design a cam-follower system to do this. The vehicle will leave contact with your follower just prior to the crash.

Answer:

The cam-follower system is designed such that the vehicle will move at a speed, v = $\frac{Fgt}{W}$

Explanation:

The vehicle starts at rest, u = 0 m/s

Some force, F, will be applied by the device on the truck

The force is given by the equation, F = ma

a = F/m..........(1)

The weight of the vehicle is given by W = mg

m = W/g.........(2)

Substituting equation (2) into (1)

a = F ÷ (W/g)

a = gF/W............(3)

The applied force makes the vehicle to move with constant velocity, v

From the equation of motion, v = u + at............(4)

v = 0 + (gF/W)t

v = $\frac{Fgt}{W}$

Answer:

The device acceleration is

a = f/m = f/(w/g)=fg/w

The velocity v is

v= u +at

When u =o

v = at

Substitute the value of a

v = fgt/w

6. What types of injuries can occur in an electronics lab and how can they be prevented?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The most common injuries in a chemistry lab is making a fire, heat burns, chemical burns, cuts and scrapes, contamination, inhalation, and spills and breaks.

1.) You can prevent making a fire by making sure you close and seal flammable materials.

2.) You can prevent heat burns by teaching the students how to properly use tongs,water baths, and other cooling equipment.

3.) You can prevent chemical burns by treating the chemicals with caution, measure carefully, and use the approved containers.

4.) You can prevent cuts and scrapes by telling the students how to use the blades safely, and also when they are disposing broken or sharp items they should know how to wrap them up so no one else will get hurt.

5.) You can prevent contamination by washing your hands, protect their clothing and skin with a lab coat or a lab apron, gloves and glasses, and cleaning your area where the germs of the chemicals were so no one will become.

6.) You can prevent inhalation by opening up windows, using ventilation fans, and using an equipment that measures the amount of gas emission in a room.

7.) Finally, you can prevent spills and breaks by telling the students what will happen if anything spills, and tell them to clean up.

5. Will rotating the tires extend their life?<br><br> O Yes<br> O No

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer is yes.
Tire rotation is undertaken to ensure that the tires wear evenly. This can extend tire life and save you money.
For example, failure to rotate tires on a front-wheel-drive vehicle will eventually result in the front tires having significantly less tread than the rear tires.

An office building is served by an air-cooled chiller currently operating at 115 tons (404.5 kW). The measured chilled water sup

Answer:

B.197 gpm and 12.4 L/s

Explanation:

Given that

Load Q = 404.5 KW

Water inlet temperature= 6.1 °C

Water outlet temperature= 13.9°C

We know that specific heat for water

$C_p=4.187\ \frac{KJ}{kg.K}$

Now from energy balance

$Q=\dot{m}C_p\Delta T$

by putting the values

$Q=\dot{m}C_p\Delta T$

$404.5=\dot{m}\times 4.187(13.9-6.1)$

$\dot{m}=12.38\ \frac{kg}{s}$ (1 Kg/s = 15.85 gal/min)

We can say that

$\dot{m}=196.31\ \frac{gal}{min}$

We know that

$\dot{m}=\rho\times volume\ flow\ rate$

12.38=1000 x volume flow rate

$volume\ flow\ rate\ = 12.38\times 10^{-3}\ \frac{m^3}{s}$

So

volume flow rate = 12.38 L/s

So the option B is correct.
