100%. Determine the total (wet/moist) unit weight (γt) in pcf for each of the four samples.

Answer:

a) γt = 120.107 lbf/ft³

b) γt = 121.455 lbf/ft³

c) γt = 122.803 lbf/ft³

d) γt = 124.150 lbf/ft³

Explanation:

Given:

e = 0.76

Gs = 2.74

γw = 62.43 lbf/ft³

a) S = 85%

b) S = 90%

c) S = 95%

d) S = 100%

We can apply the formula

γt = γw*(Gs+S*e)/(1+e)

a) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+0.85*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 120.107 lbf/ft³

b) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+0.90*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 121.455 lbf/ft³

c) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+0.95*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 122.803 lbf/ft³

d) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+1*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 124.150 lbf/ft³

a tank circuit contains a capacitor and an inductor that produce 30 of reactance at the resonant frequency. the inductor has a q

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The total circuit current at the resonant frequency is 0.61 amps

What is a LC Circuit?

A capacitor and an inductor, denoted by the letters "C" and "L," respectively, make up an LC circuit, also referred to as a tank circuit, a tuned circuit, or a resonant circuit.
These circuits are used to create signals at particular frequencies or to receive signals from more complicated signals at particular frequencies.

Q =15 = (wL)/R

wL = 30 ohms = Xl

R = 2 ohms

Zs = R + jXl = 2 +j30 ohms where Zs is the series LR impedance

| Zs | = 30.07 <86.2° ohms

Xc = 1/(wC) = 30 ohms

The impedance of the LC circuit is found from:

Zp = (Zs)(-jXc)/( Zs -jXc)

Zp = (2+j30)(-j30)/(2 + j30-j30) = (900 -j60)2 = 450 -j30 = 451 < -3.81°

I capacitor = 277/-j30 = j9.23 amps

I Zs = 277/(2 +j30) = (554 - j8,310)/904 = 0.61 - j9.19 amps

I net = I cap + I Zs = 0.61 + j0.04 amps = 0.61 < 3.75° amps

Hence, the total circuit current at the resonant frequency is 0.61 amps

A car travels 40 miles in 30 minutes.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

(a)Average velocity ,v =128.74 Km/hr

(b)Kinetic Energy , K=958546.875 Joule

(c)Distance, s=268.8m

(d)Acceleration, a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Distance travelled = 40 miles

Time taken = 30 minutes.

(A) The average velocity in kilometres/hour

Converting 40 miles into km ,

we know that,

1 mile = 1.60934

40 miles = 40 x 1.60934

so 40 miles = 64.3738 Km

similarly converting 30 minutes into hours

1 minute = $\frac{1}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{30}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{1}{2}hours$

Now

Average velocity = $\frac{Speed}{time}$

Substituting Values,

Average velocity = $\frac{64.3738}{\frac[1}{2}}$

Average velocity = $64.3738 \times 2$

Average velocity =128.74 Km/hr

(B) If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its kinetic energy in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)? in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)?

Converting 1.5 tons into kg we get

1 ton = 1000 kg

so 1.5 ton =1500 kg

converting velocity to m/s

$128.74 \times \frac{5}{18}$

=>35.75 m/s----------------------------------------------------------(1)

kinetic energy K= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting the values,

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(35.75)^2$

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(1278.06)$

K= $\frac{1500 \times (1278.06)}{2}$

K= $\frac{1917093.75}{2}$

K=958546.875 Joule---------------------------------------------(2)

(c)When the driver applies the brake, it takes 15 seconds to stop. How far does the car travel (in meters) while stopping

Lets use Distance formula,

$S= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substituting the known values,

$s= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s= (37.75)(15)+\frac{1}{2}a(15)^2$

$s=566.25+\frac{1}{2}a(225)$

$s=566.25+\frac{(225a)}{2}$ -------------------------------------(3)

(D) What is the average acceleration of the car (in m/s2) during braking?

Using the formula

v=u +at

re arranging the formula we get,

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Substituting the values

$a = \frac{0 - 35.75}{15}$

$a = \frac{- 35.75}{15}$

a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$ ----------------------------------------(4)

Now substituting 4 in 3 we get

$s=566.25+\frac{(225( - 2.38)}{2}$

$s=566.25+\frac{-535.5}{2}$

$s=536.25-267.75$

s=268.8m--------------------------------------------------------------(5)

When scientists state that energy transformation are inefficient, do they mean energy is destroyed? Explain why.

TiliK225 [7]

no. energy is not created or destroyed, just transformed.

a hot light source is less efficient than a cold one ... heat is not light ...
