Western coast is frequented by the cold californian current which reduces the temperature.

Southern Alaskan coast is frequented by Warm Alaskan current which increases the temeprature of the coast.

Eastern coast is frequented by Warm Gulf Stream which increases the temperature of the coast.

Explanation:

Oceanic current (Gulf stream) increases the temperature of the coastal region along the Eastern Coast of the US mainland. Gulf stream represents the system of warm oceanic current. This current causes excessive hot conditions in the US mainland.

West Coast of the US is frequented by Cold Californian current and warm Alaskan current. Hence, the Californian current decreases the temperature of the western coast of the US and cause atmospheric stability in the region.

Southern Alaska is frequented by the warm Alaskan current which raises the temperature of the southern Alaskan coast.

Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with parameter ???

Andrej [43]

We need to define the variables,

So,

$F_x (x) = 1-e^{-\lambda x}\\F_x (x) = 1-e^{-0.5x}$

Therefore, the probability that the repair time is more than 4 horus can be calculate as,

$P(x>4)=1-P(x4)= 1-F_x(4)\\P(x>4) = 1-e^{-0.5*4}\\P(x>4) = 1-0.98\\P(x>4) = 0.018$

The probability that the repair time is more than 4 hours is 0.136

b) The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hoirs is calculated as,

$P(x\geq 12|x>7)=P(X\geq7+5|x>7)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=P(X\geq5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-P(x\leq 5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-e^{-0.5(2)}$

$P(x\geq 12|x>7)=0.6321$

The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hours is 0.63

katrin [286]

Answer:

a. 9947 m

b. 99476 times

c. 2*10^11 molecules

Explanation:

a) To find the mean free path of the air molecules you use the following formula:

$\lambda=\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2N_AP}$

R: ideal gas constant = 8.3144 Pam^3/mol K

P: pressure = 1.5*10^{-6} Pa

T: temperature = 300K

N_A: Avogadros' constant = 2.022*10^{23}molecules/mol

d: diameter of the particle = 0.25nm=0.25*10^-9m

By replacing all these values you obtain:

$\lambda=\frac{(8.3144 Pa m^3/mol K)(300K)}{\sqrt{2}\pi (0.25*10^{-9}m)^2(6.02*10^{23})(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)}=9947.62m$

b) If we assume that the molecule, at the average, is at the center of the chamber, the times the molecule will collide is:

$n_{collision}=\frac{9947.62m}{0.05m}\approx198952\ times$

c) By using the equation of the ideal gases you obtain:

$PV=NRT\\\\N=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)}{(8.3144Pa\ m^3/mol\ K)(300K)}=3.14*10^{-13}mol\\\\n=(3.14*10^{-13})(6.02*10^{23})\ molecules\approx2*10^{11}\ molecules$

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Ammonia gas a hazardous gas to our health, when we are exposed to it for a long time. The gas is lighter than air, that means it's high concentration may not be noticed at the point of leakage, because it flows with the wind direction. Ammonia gas detector are used to determine the concentration of the gas at a particular place. We can use the dispersion modelling software program to know the exact position, where we can place the gas detector, which would be where evacuation is needed.

During evacuation, when the concentration of the gas has increased, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for breathing, and an encapsulated suit should be worn to prevent ammonia from reacting with our sweat or any other chemical burn. A mechanic ventilation will also be needed in the place of evacuation, so that the ammonia concentration in that area can be dispersed.

3) Explain how dc machines Can work as motor and generator

weeeeeb [17]

The working principle of a DC machine is when electric current flows through a coil within a magnetic field, and then the magnetic force generates a torque that rotates the dc motor. The DC machines are classified into two types such as DC generator as well as DC motor.
