Answer: True

Explanation:The shear stress is a force that causes layers of a substance to slide above each other in opposite direction, it is usually represented by (tau) the THE SHEER STRESS IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE VELOCITY GRADIENT. AT THE CENTER OF A PIPE DURING A LAMINAR FLOW, THE VELOCITY GRADIENT IS ALWAYS ZERO.

sheer stress is the main cause of downward movement of the materials of the earth and it is the leading cause of earthquakes.

vovangra [49]

Answer: 33.35 minutes

Explanation:

A(t) = A(o) *(.5)^[t/(t1/2)]....equ1

Where

A(t) = geiger count after time t = 100

A(o) = initial geiger count = 400

(t1/2) = the half life of decay

t = time between geiger count = 66.7 minutes

Sub into equ 1

100=400(.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)

Equ becomes

.25= (.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)]

Take log of both sides

Log 0.25 = [66.7/(t1/2)] * log 0.5

66.7/(t1/2) = 2

(t1/2) = (66.7/2 ) = 33.35 minutes

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Ammonia gas a hazardous gas to our health, when we are exposed to it for a long time. The gas is lighter than air, that means it's high concentration may not be noticed at the point of leakage, because it flows with the wind direction. Ammonia gas detector are used to determine the concentration of the gas at a particular place. We can use the dispersion modelling software program to know the exact position, where we can place the gas detector, which would be where evacuation is needed.

During evacuation, when the concentration of the gas has increased, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for breathing, and an encapsulated suit should be worn to prevent ammonia from reacting with our sweat or any other chemical burn. A mechanic ventilation will also be needed in the place of evacuation, so that the ammonia concentration in that area can be dispersed.

A horizontal curve of a two-lane undivided highway (12-foot lanes) has a radius of 678 feet to the center line of the roadway. A
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

maximum speed for safe vehicle operation = 55mph

Explanation:

Given data :

radius ( R ) = 678 ft

old building located ( m )= 30 ft

super elevation = 0.06

<u>Determine the maximum speed for safe vehicle operation </u>

firstly calculate the stopping sight distance

m = R ( 1 - cos \frac{28.655*S}{R} )  ----  ( 1 )

R = 678  

m ( horizontal sightline ) = 30 ft

back to equation 1

30 = 678 ( 1 - cos (28.655 *s / 678 ) )

( 1 - cos (28.655 *s / 678 ) )  = 30 / 678 = 0.044

cos \frac{28.65 *s }{678}  = 1.044

hence ; 28.65 * s = 678 * 0.2956

s = 6.99 ≈ 7 ft

next we will calculate the design speed ( u ) using the formula below

S = 1.47 ut  + \frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{3.2} )-G1}  ----  ( 2 )

t = reaction time,  a = vehicle acceleration, G1 = grade percentage

assuming ; t = 2.5 sec , a = 11.2 ft/sec^2, G1 = 0

back to equation 2

6.99 = 1.47 * u * 2.5 + \frac{u^2}{30[(11.2/32.2)-0 ]}

3.675 u  + 0.0958 u^2 - 6.99 = 0

u ( 3.675 + 0.0958 u ) = 6.99

If a lever operates at a mechanical disadvantage, it means that the ________.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': Load is far from fulcrum and the effort is applied near the fulcrum

Explanation:

A lever works on the principle of balancing of torques. The torque about the fulcrum by the load should be equal to the torque by the applied effort. Since we know that the torque is proportional to both the force and the distance it is applied from the distance from the axis of rotation. A lever is used when we need to lift a heavy load by utilizing this effect of the lever arm.

A mechanical disadvantage occurs when we are not able to lift the weight easily due to the fact we apply effort near the fulcrum.
