Answer:

(a) 5.3

(b) 6

Explanation:

First we calculate time required for excavator to fill 1 truck:

Time to Fill 1 Truck = (No. of Cycles To Fill)(Cycle Time)

Time to Fill 1 Truck = (3)(33 sec)

Time to Fill 1 Truck = 99 sec

Now, we find the time taken by a truck to come back to excavator, after dumping:

Time of Return = Hauling Time + Time to Dump + Time to Come Back

Time of Return = 5 min + 45 sec + 3 min

Time of Return = 300 sec + 45 sec + 180 sec

Time of Return = 525 sec

(a)

In order to balance the output of excavator with number of trucks, following condition must be satisfied:

Time of Return = (No. of Trucks)(Time to Fill 1 Truck)

525 sec = (No. of Trucks)(99 sec)

No. of Trucks = 525 sec/99 sec

No. of Trucks = 5.3

(b)

If we round up the number of trucks, we get:

No. of Trucks = 6

(c)

If we round down the number of trucks, we get:

No. of Trucks = 5

Calculate the molar heat capacity of a monatomic non-metallic solid at 500K which is characterized by an Einstein temperature of

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of solid $T=500\ K$

Einstein Temperature $T_E=300\ K$

Heat Capacity in the Einstein model is given by

$C_v=3R\left [ \frac{T_E}{T}\right ]^2\frac{e^{\frac{T_E}{T}}}{\left ( e^{\frac{T_E}{T}}-1\right )^2}$

$e^{\frac{3}{5}}=1.822$

Substitute the values

$C_v=3R\times (\frac{300}{500})^2\times (\frac{1.822}{(1.822-1)^2})$

$C_v=3R\times \frac{9}{25}\times \frac{1.822}{(0.822)^2}$

$C_v=0.97\times (3R)$

What effect does air have on the acceleration of aircraft during flight?

scoundrel [369]

The effect would be the altitude of the air, the higher you go up the closer you are to space we’re there’s no oxygen and everything moves slow so when your trying to fly across the world it could feel like your moving slower

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Companies are combining their online business activities with their existing physical presence in order to lower costs of their operations. When both these things are combined labor costs are reduced because with online presence the company has to have limited number of branches, inventory costs are reduced because additional inventories for every physical outlet is not required and delivery costs are reduced because now company don't have to supply the things to all the outlets on regular basis.

Trust of the people is also improved because mostly people are reluctant to order from the brands that only have their online store and donot have any physical presence. Value added services are provided by a company who have both online and offline presence like home delivery and customized offerings.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the disadvantages of solar cells is that electricity storage systems are not readily available. Excess energy generated by the solar panels are wasted except they are stored by solar batteries for later use. There are various systems for storing electricity from solar cells apart from solar batteries which is the common storage system. An example of another electricity storage system for solar cell is using the water electrolyzer to store solar energy which can be used to later generate hydroelectricity.

Advantages of a solar cell includes Renewable energy, Economy-friendly and environmental-friendly energy and good durability
