Hatshy [7]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

2.150

Explanation:

The ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp is given as a ratio between the height of the ramp and the distance from the ground ie

Ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp= $\frac {12.9}{6}=2.150$

Therefore, the answer is 2.150 to the nearest thousandth

Suppose you have a 9.00 V battery, a 2.00 μF capacitor, and a 7.40 μF capacitor. (a) Find the charge and energy stored if the ca

Andru [333]

Answer:

$Q=1.575*10^-6*9=1.42*10^-5C\\\\U_{c} =\frac{1}{2}*9^{2} *1.575*10^-6=6.38*10^-5J$

$Q=9.4*10^-6*9=8.46*10^-5C\\\\U_{c} =\frac{1}{2}*9^{2} *9.4*10^-6=3.81*10^-4J$

Explanation:

a)

Identify the unknown: 

The charge and energy stored if the capacitors are connected in series

List the Knowns:

Capacitance of the first capacitor: $C_{1}$ = 2цF = 2 x 10-6 F

Capacitance of the second capacitor $C_{2}$ = 7.4цF = 7.4 x 10-6 F

Voltage of battery: V = 9 V

Set Up the Problem:

Capacitance of a series combination:

$\frac{1}{C_{s} } =\frac{1}{C_{1} } +\frac{1}{C_{2} } +\frac{1}{C_{3} }$ +............

$\frac{1}{C_{s} } =\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{ 7.4} \\C_{s} =\frac{2*7.4}{2+7.4}=1.575 *10^-6 F\\$

Capacitance of a series combination is given by:

$C_{s}=\frac{Q}{V}$

Then the charge stored in the series combination is:

$Q=C_{s} V$

Energy stored in the series combination is:

$U_{c}=\frac{1}{2} V^{2} C_{s}$

Solve the Problem: 

$Q=1.575*10^-6*9=1.42*10^-5C\\\\U_{c} =\frac{1}{2}*9^{2} *1.575*10^-6=6.38*10^-5J$

b)

Identify the unknown:

The charge and energy stored if the capacitors are connected in parallel

Set Up the Problem: 

Capacitance of a parallel combination:

$C_{p} =C_{1} +C_{2} +C_{3}$

$C_{p} =2+7.4=9.4*10^-6F$

Capacitance of a parallel combination is given by

$C_{p} =\frac{Q}{V}$

Then the charge stored in the parallel combination is

$Q=C_{p} V$

Energy stored in the parallel combination is:

$U_{c}=\frac{1}{2} V^2C_{p}$

Solve the Problem:

$Q=9.4*10^-6*9=8.46*10^-5C\\\\U_{c} =\frac{1}{2}*9^{2} *9.4*10^-6=3.81*10^-4J$

The idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

T = 5416.67 N

T = -2083.5 N

T = 0

Explanation:

Forward thrust has positive values and reverse thrust has negative values.

part a

Flight speed u = ( 150 km / h ) / 3.6 = 41.67 km / s

The thrust force represents the horizontal or x-component of momentum equation:

$T = flow(m_{exhaust})*(u_{exhaust} - u_{flight} )\\T = (50 kg/s ) * (150 - 41.67)\\\\T = 5416.67 N$

Answer: The thrust force T = 5416.67 N

part b

Now the exhaust velocity is now vertical due to reverse thrust application, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust equation is:

$T = flow(m_{exhaust})*(u_{exhaust} - u_{flight} )\\T = (50 kg/s ) * (0 - 41.67)\\\\T = -2083.5 N$

Answer: The thrust force T = -2083.5 N reverse direction

part c

Now the exhaust velocity and flight velocity is zero, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust is also zero as there is no difference in two velocities in x direction.

Answer: T = 0 N

The electricity generated by wind turbines annually in kilowatt-hours per year is given in a file. The amount of electricity is

Anika [276]

Answer:

Steps:

1. Create a text file that contains blade diameter (in feet), wind velocity (in mph) and the approximate electricity generated for the year

2. load the data file for example, in matlab, use ('fileame.txt') to load the file

3. create variables from each column of your data

for example, in matlab,

x=t{1}

y=t{2}

4. plot the wind velocity and electricity generated.

plot(x, y)

5. Label the individual axis and name the graph title.

title('Graph of wind velocity vs approximate electricity generated for the year')

xlabel('wind velocity')

ylabel('approximate electricity generated for the year')

You have just finished your OST takeoffs for a single-story home and found 175 LF of interior walls with 2x6 studs 14" OC. The h

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Total BF for the interior wall is 7.50BD

Explanation:

Given Data:

· Size of stud = 2” x 6”

· Height of Wall = 8 ft

· Top plates = 2

· Bottom Plate = 1

BF stands for board feet in lumber/wood terminology. It is the unit of volume.

1 BF (Board feet) = 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 inch

Since there are total three plates at top and bottom, we have to deduct their thickness from wall height to calculate height of stud.

Height of stud = 8’ – 3 x 2” = 7’6” = 7.5 ft

Board feet of one stud = 7.50 6/12 x 2 = 7.50 BD

Total BF for the interior wall is 7.50BD
