A group of scientists studied the environmental impact of internal combustion engines burning hydrocarbon fuels. The scientist e

quipped four vehicles with devices to capture and measure particulate emissions. One vehicle burned diesel fuel, one burned ordinary gasoline, one burned a gasoline/ethanol mixture and one burned natural gas. The four vehicles have equal masses and carried identical cargo. The scientists drove each vehicle 400 km, recording the volume of fuel burns in the quantity of particulate emissions generated. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

Answer: Combustion of Hydrocarbons

Explanation:

The Independent variable in an experiment is the one whose effect on the dependent variable is being measured. The independent variable therefore is controlled to see the effect it will have in the experiment.

In this experiment, the scientists combusted different types of hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, natural gas and a gasoline/ethanol mixture) as they aimed to find out the effect that this burning would have on the environment thereby making the combustion of hydrocarbons the independent variable.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

2. 0-1 km shear value: taking winds at 1000mb and 850 mb

15 kts south easterly and 50 kts southerly

Vector difference 135/15 and 180/50 will be 170/61 or southerly 61 kts

3. 0-6 km shear value: taking winds at 1000 mb and 500 mb

15 kts south easterly and 40 kts westerly

Vector difference 135/15 and 270/40 will be 281/51 kts

Write down one metal or alloy that is best suited for each of the following applications:
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.

At an axial load of 22 kN, a 15-mm-thick × 40-mm-wide polyimide polymer bar elongates 4.1 mm while the bar width contracts 0.15
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Explanation:

The Poisson's ratio is got by using the formula

Lateral strain / longitudinal strain

Lateral strain = elongation / original width (since we are given the change in width as a result of compession)

Lateral strain = 0.15mm / 40 mm =0.00375

Please note that strain is a dimensionless quantity, hence it has no unit.

The Longitudinal strain is the ratio of the elongation to the original length in the longitudinal direction.

Longitudinal strain = 4.1 mm / 270 mm = 0.015185

Hence, the Poisson's ratio of the bar is 0.00375/0.015185 = 0.247

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Please note also that this quantity also does not have a dimension
