The correct answer is A. Total slack

Explanation:

Projects include multiple tasks or activities; moreover, each activity and the project itself have a specific due date. Besides this, activities can be delayed and this might affect or not the due date of the project. Indeed, some activities can have extra time without any effect on the date of the project, which is known as total slack or total float (delay in activities that does not delay the project.) Additionally, total slack is possible if activities or tasks are flexible, for example, if each task in a project should take 1 day and one of the tasks takes one day and a half, this can be compensated if another task takes less time. According to this, the correct answer is A.

A driver is traveling at 90 km/h down a 3% grade on good, wet pavement. An accident

Paul [167]

Answer:

0.35

Explanation:

We resolve the component of the weight of the car along and perpendicular to the grade. We have mgsinФ and mgcosФ where Ф = angle of grade.

Now, the frictional force f = μN = μmgcosФ where μ = coefficient of friction

So, the net force along the grade is F = mgsinФ - μmgcosФ.

The work done by this force moving a distance, d along the grade is

W = (mgsinФ - μmgcosФ)d

This work equals the change in kinetic energy of the car. So ΔK = 1/2m(v₂² - v₁²) = W = (mgsinФ - μmgcosФ)d

1/2m(v₂² - v₁²) = (mgsinФ - μmgcosФ)d

1/2(v₂² - v₁²) = (gsinФ - μgcosФ)d

(v₂² - v₁²)/2d = (gsinФ - μgcosФ)

dividing through by gcosФ, we have

(v₂² - v₁²)/2dgcosФ = (gsinФ/gcosФ) - μgcosФ/gcosФ

(v₂² - v₁²)/2dgcosФ = tanФ - μ

μ = tanФ - (v₂² - v₁²)/2dgcosФ

given that tanФ = 3% = 3/100 and 1 + tan²Ф = 1/cos²Ф, cosФ = 1/(√1 + tan²Ф) = 1/(√1 + (3/100)²) = 1/(√1 + (9/10000)) = 1/(√10000 + 9/10000) = 1/√(10009/10000) = 100/√10009 = 100/100.05 = 0.9995.

Also, given that v₁ = 90 km/h = 90 × 1000/3600 m/s = 25 m/s and v₂ = 45 km/h = 45 × 1000/3600 m/s = 12.5 m/s, d = 75 m and g = 9.8 m/s².

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

μ = tanФ - (v₂² - v₁²)/2dgcosФ

μ = 3/100 - ((12.5 m/s)² - (25 m/s)²)/(2 × 75 m × 9.8 m/s² × 0.9995)

μ = 3/100 - ((156.25 m/s)² - (625 m/s)²)/1,469.265 m²/s²

μ = 3/100 - (-468.75 m²/s²)/1,469.265 m²/s²

μ = 3/100 + 468.75 m²/s²/1,469.265 m²/s²

μ = 0.03 + 0.32

μ = 0.35

So, theoretical friction coefficient is 0.35

An Otto cycle engine is analyzed using the air standard method. Given the conditions at state 1, compression ratio (r), and pres

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A) 222.58 kJ / kg

B) 0.8897 M^3/ kg

c) 0.7737 m^3/kg

D) 746.542 k

E) 536.017 kj/kg

efficiency = 58% ( approximately )

Explanation:

Given Data :

Gas constant (R) = 0.287 kJ/ kg.K

T1 = 310 k

P1 ( Kpa ) = 100

r = 11.5 ( compression ratio )

rp = 1.95 ( pressure ratio )

A ) specific internal energy at state 1

= Cv*T1 = 0.718 * 310 = 222.58 kJ / kg

B) Relative specific volume at state 1

= P1*V1 = R*T1 ( ideal gas equation )

V1 = R*T1 / P1 = (0.287* 10^3*310 ) / 100 * 10^3

V1 = 88.97 / 100 = 0.8897 M^3/ kg

C ) relative specific volume at state 2

Applying r ( compression ratio) = V1 / V2

11.5 = 0.8897 / V2

V2 = 0.8897 / 11.5 = 0.7737 m^3/kg

D) The temperature (k) at state 2

since the process is an Isentropic process we will apply the p-v-t relation

$\frac{T1}{T2} = (\frac{V1}{V2}^{n-1} ) = (\frac{P2}{P1} )^{\frac{n-1}{n} }$

hence T2 = $9^{1.4-1} * 310$ = 2.4082 * 310 = 746.542 k

e) specific internal energy at state 2

= Cv*T2 = 0.718 * 746.542 = 536.017 kj/kg

efficiency = output /input = 390.3511 / 667.5448 ≈ 58%

What is the purpose of having a ventilation system on board a motorized vessel?.

chubhunter [2.5K]

The purpose of having a ventilation system on board a motorized vessel is : To remove flammable gas from a vessel to avoid explosions.

<h3>Meaning of ventilation system</h3>

A ventilation system can be defined as a system that allows for removal of gases from a vessel to the atmosphere.

A Ventilation system is very important in every motorized vessel because they help to eliminate or remove flammable gases that are dangerous and are liable to explode when held in a large amount in the engine.

In conclusion, The purpose of having a ventilation system on board a motorized vessel is to remove flammable gas from a vessel their by avoiding explosions.
