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

3. If nothing can ever be at absolute zero, why does the concept exist?

Tanzania [10]

The absolute zero in temperature refers to the minimal possible temperature. It is the temperature at which the molecules of a system stop moving, so it is a really useful reference point.

<h3>Why absolute zero can't be reached?</h3>

It would mean that we need to remove all the energy from a system, but to do this we need to interact with the system in some way, and by interacting with it we give it "some" energy.

Actually, from a quantum mechanical point of view, the absolute zero has a residual energy (so it is not actually zero) and it is called the "zero point". This happens because it must meet Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

So yes, the absolute zero can't be reached, but there are really good approximations (At the moment there is a difference of about 150 nanokelvins between the absolute zero and the smallest temperature reached). Also, there are a lot of investigations near the absolute zero, like people that try to reach it or people that just need to work with really low temperatures, like in type I superconductors.

So, concluding, why does the concept exist?

Because it is a reference point.
It is the theoretical temperature at which the molecules stop moving, defining this as the minimum possible temperature.

Indicate on a tensile curve such quantities as yield stress, Young's modulus, UTS, toughness, point of necking, point of fractur

Illusion [34]

Explanation:

Step1

In the stress-strain curve of any material, the yield stress is the maximum stress at which material starts yielding.

Step2

Young’s modulus is the constant of proportionality of stress and strain according to hooks law. It is the slope of the slope of the stress-strain curve of the any material under proportional limit.

Step3

Ultimate tensile stress is the maximum stress that induced in the material under application of load.

Step4

Toughness is the strain energy per unit volume up to the fracture point of the stress-strain diagram of any material. This is the area under the curve of stress-strain.

Step5

Point of necking is the point where any material starts necking under application of load in necking region of the stress-strain curve.

Step6

Fracture point is the last point of the stress-strain curve where component fractures under application of load.

All the parameters are shown in below stress-strain curve:
