Answer:

a) FALSE: the opportunity cost of an activity is the total value of all of the alternatives passed up

b) FALSE: OC is a subjective measure of cost - only the individual can estimate the expected costs/benefits himself

c) FALSE: Info is only gathered if the expected benefits from gatherings info exceeds the costs of getting the expected costs - people normally make choices based on limited and incorrect info because of convenience

d) TRUE: you can guess you will enjoy a movie and then find it too violent for your tastes

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is commonly known as the alternative option to a particular activity. It is necessary to collect as many vital information as possible. It is important to collect information for business purpose and personal reasons. A movie can be interesting and at the same time, contains horror violent scenes.

A battery is an electromechanical device. a)- True b)- False
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

b)False

Explanation:

A battery is a device which store the energy in the form of chemical energy.And this stored energy is used according to the requirement.So battery is not a electromechanical device.Because it does have any mechanical component like gear ,shaft flywheel etc.

A flywheel is known as mechanical battery because it stored mechanical energy and supply that energy when more energy is required.Generally fly wheel is used during punching operation.

Calculate the viscosity(dynamic) and kinematic viscosity of airwhen
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) dynamic viscosity = 1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-sec

(b) kinematic viscosity = 1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec

Explanation:

We have given temperature T = 288.15 K

Density d=1.23kg/m^3

According to Sutherland's Formula  dynamic viscosity is given by

{\mu} = {\mu}_0 \frac {T_0+C} {T + C} \left (\frac {T} {T_0} \right )^{3/2}, here

μ = dynamic viscosity in (Pa·s) at input temperature T,

\mu _0= reference viscosity in(Pa·s) at reference temperature T0,

T = input temperature in kelvin,

T_0 = reference temperature in kelvin,

C = Sutherland's constant for the gaseous material in question here C =120

\mu _0=4\pi \times 10^{-7}

T_0 = 291.15

\mu =4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \frac{291.15+120}{285.15+120}\times \left ( \frac{288.15}{291.15} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}=1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-swhen T = 288.15 K

For kinematic viscosity :

\nu = \frac {\mu} {\rho}

kinemic\ viscosity=\frac{1.812\times 10^{-5}}{1.23}=1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec

In Lab 7, we worked through a program that displayed the homeless shelter occupancy over time. The same approach can be used for
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The python code to generate this is quite simple to run.

i hope you understand everything written here, you can as well try out other problems to understand better.

First to begin, we import the package;

Code:

import pandas as pd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

name = input('Enter name of the file: ')

op = input('Enter name of output file: ')

df = pd.read_csv(name)

df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df["Date"].apply(str))

plt.plot(df['Date'],df['Absent']/(df['Present']+df['Absent']+df['Released']),label="% Absent")

plt.legend(loc="upper right")

plt.xticks(rotation=20)

plt.savefig(op)

plt.show()

This should generate the data(plot) as seen in the uploaded screenshot.

thanks i hope this helps!!!

weight of 1000 pounds is suspended from two cables. The allowable stress in the cables is 1500 psi. Find the minimum diameter fo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

The minimum diameter for each cable should be 0.65 inches.

Explanation:

Since, the load is supported by two ropes and the allowable stress in each rope is 1500 psi. Therefore,

(1/2)(Weight/Cross Sectional Area) = Allowable Stress

Here,

Weight = 1000 lb

Cross-sectional area = πr²

where, r = minimum radius for each cable

(1/2)(1000 lb/πr²) = 1500 psi

500 lb/1500π psi = r²

r = √1.061 in²

r = 0.325 in

Now, for diameter:

Diameter = 2(radius) = 2r

Diameter = 2(0.325 in)

<u>Diameter = 0.65 in</u>
