Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highways to enable vehicles with defective brakes to stop safely. A truck enters a

ramp at a high speed v0 and travels 690 ft in 8.5 s at constant deceleration before its speed is reduced to v0/2. Assume the same constant deceleration.a) Determine the additional time required for the truck to stop. The additional time required for the truck to stop is ______s b) the additional distance traveled by the truck is ______ft

Answer:

a) The additional time required for the truck to stop is <u>8.5 seconds</u>

b) The additional distance traveled by the truck is <u>230.05 ft</u>

Explanation:

Since the acceleration is constant, the average speed is:

(final speed - initial speed) / 2 = 0.75 v0

Since travelling at this speed for 8.5 seconds causes the vehicle to travel 690 ft, we can solve for v0:

0.75v0 * 8.5 = 690

v0 = 108.24 ft/s

The speed after 8.5 seconds is: 108.24 / 2 = 54.12 ft/s

We can now use the following equation to solve for acceleration:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

54.12^2 - 108.24^2 = 2*a*690

a = -6.367 m/s^2

Additional time taken to decelerate: 54.12/6.367 = 8.5 seconds

Total distance traveled:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

0 - 108.24^2 = 2 * (-6.367) * s

solving for s we get total distance traveled = 920.05 ft

Additional Distance Traveled: 920.05 - 690 = 230.05 ft

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

0.5 kW

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Volume of tank = 1 m³

Pressure of air entering tank = 1 bar

Temperature of air = 27°C = 300.15 K

Temperature after heating  = 477 °C = 750.15 K

V₂ = 1 m³

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = P₂

V₁ = T₁×V₂/T₂ = 300.15 * 1 /750.15 = 0.4 m³

dQ = m \times c_p \times (T_2 -T_1)

For ideal gas, c_p = 5/2×R = 5/2*0.287 = 0.7175 kJ

PV = NKT

N = PV/(KT) = 100000×1/(750.15×1.38×10⁻²³)

N = 9.66×10²⁴

Number of moles of air = 9.66×10²⁴/(6.02×10²³) = 16.05 moles

The average mass of one mole of air = 28.8 g

Therefore, the total mass = 28.8*16.05 = 462.135 g = 0.46 kg

∴ dQ = 0.46*0.7175*(750.15 - 300.15) = 149.211 kJ

The power input required = The rate of heat transfer = 149.211/(60*5)

The power input required = 0.49737 kW ≈ 0.5 kW.

All of these are true about GMA (MIG) welding EXCEPT that:
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

the welding gun liner regulates the shielding gas.

Explanation:

The purpose of the welding gun liner is to properly position the welding wire from the wire feeder till it gets to the nozzle or contact tip of the gun. <em>Regulation of the shielding gas depends on factors such as the speed, current, and type of gas being used. </em>In gas metal arc welding, an electric arc is used to generate heat which melts both the electrode and the workpiece or base metal.

The electric arc produced is shielded from contamination by the shielding gas. The heat generated by the short electric arc is low.
