Suppose there are n chairs in a row. We want to compute the number of ways to put 2 students into seats so that they are not nex

t to each other. Assume that students are interchangeable: e.g., if n = 3, the solution should be 1, because the only way to accomplish this is to use the first and last chairs. For both parts to this problem, you must explain why your answer is correct: it is not sufficient to compute a few values directly and look for a pattern.
a. Write a recurrence relation describing the number of ways to put the 2 students into seats so that they are not next to each other.
b. Repeat part a, but now suppose the chairs are in a circle (hint: it might help if you label the chairs 1, ... n, even though they are in a circle without a 'start' or 'end').

If 1 uF capacitor is fully charged with 120 V across it, how much energy is stored in it? (a) 7.2 kJ (b) 7.2 mJ (c) 0.12 mJ (d)
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(b) 7.2 mJ

Explanation:

ENERGY STORED IN CAPACITOR: the energy is stored in capacitor in electric field

which can be calculated by expressions

E=\frac{1}{2} c v{^2}

=\frac{1}{2} 10^{-6}120^{2}

=7200×10^{-6} J

= 7.2×10^{-3} J

=7.2 mJ

A fuel cell vehicle draws 50 kW of power at 70 mph and is 40% efficient at rated power. You are asked to size the fuel cell syst
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

  a) fuel cell weight and volume: 50 kg, 33.3 L

  b) fuel tank weight and volume: 321 kg, 643 L

Explanation:

<u>Fuel Cell</u>

Delivery of 50 kW from a source with a power density of 1.5 kW/L requires a source that has a volume of ...

  (50 kW)/(1.5 kW/L) = 33.3 L

The weight of the power source is 1 kW/kg, so will be ...

  (50 kW)/(1 kW/kg) = 50 kg

__

<u>Fuel Tank</u>

400 miles at 70 mph will take (400/70) h ≈ 5.71429 h. In that time, the energy used by the vehicle power plant is ...

  (50 kW)(5.71429 h)(3600 s/h) = 1028.57 MJ

Since the power plant is 40% efficient, it must be supplied with 2.5 times that amount of energy, or 2571.43 MJ.

The tank volume and mass will then be ...

  volume = 2571.43 MJ/(4 MJ/L) = 642.9 L

  mass = 2571.43 MJ/(8 MJ/L) = 321.4 kg

_____

<em>Comment on fuel tank volume</em>

It appears the fuel tank would need to be equivalent in size to a sphere about 1.1 m in diameter.
