From an aerial photograph, one observes that on a level section of a (multilane) highway, 25% of the vehicles are trucks, 75% ar

e cars, and there are 50 vehicles per mile of highway. The trucks travel at 40 mph and the cars at 60 mph. This highway also has a section with a steep grade on which the speed of the trucks drops to 25 mph and the speed of the cars to 55 mph. No vehicles enter or exit the subject highway sections (except at the ends). The flows on these highwaysections are stationary, which means that the flows on the level section are equal to those on the grade. Determine
(a) the flow of vehicles on the level section;
(b) the density of vehicles on the grade;
(c) the percent of trucks on the grade as seen from an aerial photo; (d) the percent of trucks as seen by a stationary observer on the grade.

Answer:

(a) Flow rate of vehicles = No of vehicles per mile * Speed

=No of cars per mile * Speed +No of trucks per mile * Speed

= 0.75*50*60 + 0.25*50*40

=2750 vehicles / hour

(b) Let Density of vehicles on grade = x

Density on flat * Speed =Density on grade * Speed

So,( 0.75*50) * 60 + (0.25*50) * 40 = (0.75* x) * 55 + (0.25* x) * 25

So, x= 57.89

So, Density is around 58 Vehicles per Mile.

(c) Percentage of truck by aerial photo = 25%

(d)Percentage of truck bystationary observer on the grade= 25*30/60 * 25/55 =22.73 %

The process _______ boosted the production of fertilizers and strengthened the agriculture industry.
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Process of Green Revolution

Explanation:

Green Revolution is a process which started its initiatives between the 1950s and 1960s, a technological research process, that increase agricultural productions through various systematic approach, which are different from the traditional methods. These technological approach includes:

1.  Utilization of new varieties with a high yield potential, in addition with adequate water  supply, pesticides and fertilizers.

2.  New methods of cultivation and mechanization

Hence, the process of Green Revolution boosted production of fertilizers and strengthen the agriculture industry as a whole.

Which system of linear inequalities is represented by the graph? y > x – 2 and y x + 1 y x + 1 y > x – 2 and y < x + 1
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The graph representing the linear inequalities is attached below.

Explanation:

The inequalities given are :

y>x-2   and y<x+1

For tables for values of x and y and get coordinates to plot for both equation.

In the first equation;

y>x-2

y=x-2

y-x = -2

The table will be :

x    y

-2  -4

-1    -3

0     -2

1      -1

2      0

The coordinates to plot are : (-2,-4) , (-1,-3), (0,-2), (1,-1) ,(2,0)

Use a dotted line and shade the part right hand side of the line.

Do the same for the second inequality equation and plot then shade the part satisfying the inequality.

The graph attached shows results.

lakkis [162]

The altitude ensures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR.

<h3>What is altitude?</h3>

Altitude or height exists as distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" approach, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact meaning and reference datum change according to the context.

The MOCA exists in the lower published altitude in effect between fixes on VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments that satisfy obstacle support conditions for the whole route segment. This altitude also ensures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR.

The altitude ensures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR.

Therefore, the correct answer is 22 NM of a VOR.

The mechanical properties of a metal may be improved by incorporating fine particles of its oxide. Given that the moduli of elas
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A) Upper bound modulus of elasticity; E = 165.6 GPa

B) Lower bound modulus of elasticity; E = 83.09 GPa

Explanation:

A) Formula for upper bound modulus is given as;

E = E_m(1 - V_f) + E_f•V_f

We are given;

E_m = 60 GPa

E_f = 380 GPa

V_f = 33% = 0.33

Thus,

E = 60(1 - 0.33) + 380(0.33)

E = (60 x 0.67) + 125.4

E = 165.6 GPa

B) Formula for lower bound modulus is given as;

E = 1/[(V_f/E_f) + ((1 – V_f)/E_m)]

E = 1/[(0.33/380) + ((1 – 0.33)/60)]

E = 1/(0.0008684 + 0.01116667)

E = 1/0.01203507

E = 83.09 GPa
