Answer: They’re different estates for people, I guess.

Explanation: “Apartment” comes from “Appartement” (French) and “Appartimento” (Italian) which means... separated.

Answer:

he word Apartment derives from the French apartment. ... An apartment came to be called so because it has individual/private rooms for different people, on the same floor. These rooms were, of course, apart. In Britain, apartments are called "flats", as everyone knows.

Consider two Carnot heat engines operating in series. The first engine receives heat from the reservoir at 1400 K and rejects th

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The temperature T= 648.07k

Explanation:

T1=input temperature of the first heat engine =1400k

T=output temperature of the first heat engine and input temperature of the second heat engine= unknown

T3=output temperature of the second heat engine=300k

but carnot efficiency of heat engine = $1 - \frac{Tl}{Th} \\$

where Th =temperature at which the heat enters the engine

Tl is the temperature of the environment

since both engines have the same thermal capacities <em> $n_{th}$ </em> therefore $n_{th} =n_{th1} =n_{th2}\\n_{th }=1-\frac{T1}{T}=1-\frac{T}{T3}\\ \\= 1-\frac{1400}{T}=1-\frac{T}{300}\\$

We have now that

$\frac{-1400}{T}+\frac{T}{300}=0\\$

multiplying through by T

$-1400 + \frac{T^{2} }{300}=0\\$

multiplying through by 300

- $420000+ T^{2} =0\\T^2 =420000\\\sqrt{T2}=\sqrt{420000} \\T=648.07k$

The temperature T= 648.07k

An 1,840 W toaster, a 1,420 W electric frying pan, and a 70 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15 A, 120 V circuit. (T

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Current drawn by toaster = 15.33 A

Current drawn by electric frying pan = 11.83 A

Current drawn by lamp = 0.58 A

The fuse will definitely blow up since the current drawn by three devices (27.74 A) is way higher than 15 A fuse rating.

Explanation:

There are three devices plugged into the same outlet.

Toaster = 1840 W

Electric frying pan = 1420 W

Lamp = 70 W

Since the three devices are connected in parallel therefore, the voltage across them will be same but the current drawn by each will be different.

A) What current is drawn by each device?

The current flowing through the device is given by

I = P/V

Where P is the power and V is the voltage.

Current drawn by toaster:

I = 1840/120

I = 15.33 A

Current drawn by electric frying pan:

I = 1420/120

I = 11.83 A

Current drawn by lamp:

I = 70/120

I = 0.58 A

B) Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

The total current drawn by all three devices is

Total current = 15.33 + 11.83 + 0.58

Total current = 27.74 A

Therefore, the fuse will definitely blow up since the current drawn by three devices (27.74 A) is way higher than 15 A fuse rating.

What are some advantages of making electronic components like transistors increasingly smaller?

Stells [14]

Answer:

Dr. Engelbart, who would later help develop the computer mouse and other personal computing technologies, theorized that as electronic circuits were made smaller, their components would get faster, require less power and become cheaper to produce — all at an accelerating pace

a stem and leaf display describes two-digit integers between 20 and 80. for one one of the classes displayed, the row appears as

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

52, 50, 54, 54, 56

Explanation:

The "stem" in this scenario is the tens digit of the number. Each "leaf" is the ones digit of a distinct number with the given tens digit.

5 | 20446 represents the numbers 52, 50, 54, 54, 56

What are the general rules for press fit allowances

Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation:

As a general rule of thumb, the large the diameter of a bearing, bushing or pin, the larger the tolerance range,” Brieschke points out. “The inverse is true for smaller-diameter pieces.”

Mike Brieschke, vice president of sales at Aries Engineering, says a 0.25-inch-diameter metal dowel that is press-fit into a mild steel hole usually has an interference of ±0.0015 inch. Parts in noncritical assemblies tend to have looser tolerances
