If your brakes fail, look for something to rub against, try to pick something that will not give way.True or False?

Physics
1 answer:
Yanka [14]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False

If brakes fail then we should not run against any object or wall to slow down the speed instead we should use friction forces slow down the car and shift gear to neutral to cease any acceleration.

By driving zig-zag motion friction force on the tires may stop the car after some distance.

Do not try to shut off the engine as it will lock the steering mechanism any prove fatal.

A compressed spring has elastic potential energy. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is
Brilliant_brown [7]

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative             Precipitation                                

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100                       100                    300

Expand           350                       500                   200

Build new       750                       300                    0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are  for

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100*0.3                100*0.2                   300*0.5 = 140

Expand           350*0.3                500*0.2                  200*0.5 = 305

Build new       750*0.3                300*0.2                  0*0.5    = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000

If a scuba diver fills his lungs to full capacity of 5.5 L when 10 m below the surface, to what volume would his lungs expand if
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 5.5 L

Height = 10 m

Density of sea water= 1025 kg/m³

We need to calculate the pressure at that point

Using formula of pressure

P'=P+\rho gh

Put the value into the formula

P'=1.01\times10^{5}+1025\times9.8\times10

P'=201450\ Pa

We need to calculate the volume at the surface

Using equation of ideal gas

PV= RT

So, for both condition

PV=P'V'

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{201450\times5.5}{1.01\times10^{5}}

V=10.97\ L

Hence, The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.
