Answer:

A shoulder, or hard shoulder is an emergency stopping lane by the verge of a road or motorway, on the right in countries which drive on the right, or on the left side in India, Japan, the UK, Australia, and other left-side driving countries.

As the driver of the red SUV, what are your options for navigating this roundabout?

IgorC [24]

Your options for navigating this roundabout would include driving in a counter-clockwise direction and then making your exit to the right lane.

<h3>What is a roundabout? </h3>

A roundabout is a circular intersection that make junctions or intersections of roads safer, because it is designed and developed to physically direct drivers and pedestrians to move in a counter-clockwise direction.

In this scenario, your options for navigating this roundabout as the driver of the red SUV would include driving in a counter-clockwise direction and then making your exit to the right lane.

Which of the following is NOT true about hydraulic systems?

Dmitry [639]

Answer: The answer is D

D.In hydraulic systems, the operating temperatures must be kept between 170�F and 180°F

Explanation:

The operating temperature for hydraulic systems is 140°F and below. Anything above this temperature is too high and will reduce the useful life of hydraulic fluid.

Most often problems associated with hydraulic systems are caused by fluid contaminated with particulate matter.

How to find the voltage(B Aab) in series parallel circuit?

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Vab ≈ 3.426 V

Explanation:

First of all, it is convenient to find the equivalent parallel resistance of R5 and R6. That will be ...

R56 = (R5)(R6)/(R5 +R6) = (1000)(1500)/(1000 +1500) = 600

Then we can call V1 the voltage at the top of R2. The voltage at Va is a divider from V1:

Va = V1·(R4/(R3+R4)) = V1(560/1030) ≈ 0.543689V1

The voltage at Vb is also a divider from V1:

Vb = V1·(R7+R8)/(R2 +R56 +R7 +R8) = V1(780/1710) ≈ 0.456140V1

The parallel branches containing Va and Vb have an effective resistance of ...

(1030)(1710)/(1030+1710) = 642.81

That forms a divider with R1 to give V1:

V1 = (100 V)642.81/(1000 +642.81) ≈ 39.1287 V

The difference Va-Vb is ...

Vab = (39.1287 V)(0.543689 -0.456140) ≈ 3.426 V

_____

We have done this using parallel resistance and voltage divider calculations. You can also do it using node voltage equations. Using the same definition for V1 as above, we have ...

(Vs -V1)/R1 +(Vb -V1)/(R56+R2) +(Va-V1)/R3 = 0

(V1 -Vb)/(R56 +R2) -Vb/(R7+R8) = 0

(V1 -Va)/R3 -Va/R4 = 0

The solution of interest is the value of Vab, shown in the attachment. It computes as 154200/45013 V ≈ 3.42568 V.

During an expansion process, the pressure of a gas changes from 15 to 140 psia according to the relation P = aV + b, where a = 5

Dominik [7]

The work done during the process is 359 btu

<u></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

P1 = 15psia

P2 = 140 psia

V1 = 7ft³

a = 5 psia/ft³

b = C

P = aV +b

Work done, W = ?

P1 = aV1 + b

15 = 5 (7) + b

b = -20 psia

P2 = aV2 + b

140 = 5 ( V2) - 20

V2 = 32 ft³

The work done by the process is the area under the curve which is trapezoidal.

Therefore,

Work done, W = area of trapezoid

= (P2 + P1 / 2) (V2 - V1)

= ( 140 + 15 / 2 ) ( 32 - 7)

= 1937.5 psia ft³

= 1937.5/ 5.4039 = 359 btu

Therefore, the work done during the process is 359 btu
