Answer: LED have the lowest cost of operation.

Explanation:

If we ignore the initial procurement cost of the items the operational cost of any device consuming electricity is given by

$Cost=Energy\times cost/unit$

Among the three item's LED consumes the lowest power to give the same level of brightness as compared to the other 2 item's thus LED's shall have the lowest operational cost.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

velocity at A is $v=4\ ft/s$

For $r=500\ ft$

velocity is increasing at $\dot{v}=0.004t\ ft/s^2$

Tangential acceleration is given by

$a_t=\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$a_t=0.004t=\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\int 0.004tdt=\int dv$

$\int dv=\int 0.004tdt$

$v=0.002t^2+c$

at $t=0\ v=4\ ft/s$

$4=0.002\cdot 0+c$

$c=4\ ft/s$

thus $v=0.002t^2+4$

Velocity in terms of Displacement is given by

$v=\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\Rightarrow \int ds=\int \left ( 0.002t^2+4\right )dt$

$\Rightarrow s=\frac{0.002t^3}{3}+4t$

When car has traveled $\frac{3}{4}$ th of distance i.e.

$s=\frac{3}{4}\times (2\pi r)=\frac{3\pi r}{2}$

$s=750\pi$

$750\pi =\frac{0.002t^3}{3}+4t$

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.002t^3}{3}+4t-2356.5=0$

on solving we get $t=139.23\ s$

Thus velocity at $t=139.23\ s$

$v=42.76\ s$

(b)Acceleration when car has traveled three-fourth the way of track

normal acceleration $a_n=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{(42.76)^2}{500}$

$a_n=3.658\ m/s^2$

Tangential acceleration $a_t at t=139.23\ s$

$a_t=0.556\ m/s^2$

Net acceleration $a_t=\sqrt{(a_n)^2+(a_t)^2}$

$a_n=\sqrt{(3.658)^2+(0.556)^2}$

$a_n=3.7\ m/s^2$

Why is concrete on its own not a good material to use

Inga [223]

Answer:

It has poor tensile strength despite having high compressive strength

Explanation:

Concrete exhibits high compressive strength when used. However, it has very low compressive strength. This is the reason why concrete is normally combined with steel to make a composite building material called reinforced concrete. The steel reinforces concrete hence increasing the tensile strength in RC buildings. The end composite is durable and fireproof. Generally, the main reason why concrete is not use on its own is due to its poor tensile strength.
