GPS device details are given below.
Explanation:
Even a simple GPS unit has a wide range of settings and features. Because every unit’s operation varies, this article won’t provide step-by-step details. Read the owner's manual to familiarize yourself with it..
If you’d like additional help, you can also sign up for a GPS navigation class at an REI store.
Though steps vary, all GPS receivers do the following basic functions:
Display position: A GPS tells you where you are by displaying your coordinates; it also shows your position on its base map or topo map.
Record tracks: When tracking is turned on, a GPS automatically lays down digital bread crumbs, called “track points,” at regular intervals. You use those later to retrace your steps or to evaluate the path you traveled.
Navigate point-to-point: A GPS directs you by giving you the direction and distance to a location, or “waypoint.” You can pre-mark waypoints by entering their coordinates at home. In the field you can have the unit mark a waypoint at a place you'd like to return to, such as the trailhead or your campsite. A GPS unit provides the bearing and distance “as the crow flies” to a waypoint. Because trails don’t follow a straight line, the bearing changes as you hike. The distance to travel also changes (decreasing, unless you’re heading the wrong direction) as you approach your goal.
Display trip data: This odometer-like function tells you cumulative stats like how far you’ve come and how high you’ve climbed.
GPS and your computer: GPS units come with a powerful software program that lets you manage maps, plan routes, analyze trips and more. Invest the time to learn it and to practice using all of its capabilities.
Answer:
348643.34 barrels of oil
Explanation:
Given;
Volume of the granite = 1 km³ = 1000³ m³
Specific heat of granite, C = 790 J/kg.°C
Density of granite = 2700 kg/m³
Energy in 1 barrel of oil = 6.118 × 10⁹ J
For every 1° change in temperature, ΔT = 1°C
Now,
The thermal energy stored is given as;
Thermal energy = mCΔT
where, m is the mass
the mass of 1 km³ of granite = Density × Volume
or
the mass of 1 km³ of granite = 2700 × 1000³ = 27 × 10¹¹ Kg
therefore,
Thermal energy = 27 × 10¹¹ × 790 × 1
or
Thermal energy = 21330 × 10¹¹ J
hence,
the thermal energy in terms of barrels of oil
= Total thermal energy / Energy stored in 1 barrel of oil
= 21330 × 10¹¹ J / ( 6.118 × 10⁹ J per barrel )
= 348643.34 barrels of oil
Answer:
vec(a) = 16 i + 16 j
mag(a) = 22.63 ft/s^2
Explanation:
Given,
- The two components of velocity are given for fluid flow:
u = 4*y ft/s
v = 4*x ft/s
Find:
What is the time rate of change of the velocity vector V (i.e., the acceleration vector) for a fluid particle at x = 1 ft. and y = 1 ft. at time t = 1 second?
Solution:
- The rate of change of velocity is given to be acceleration. We will take derivative of each components of velocity with respect to time t:
a_x = du / dt
a_x = 4*dy/dt
a_y = dv/dt
a_y = 4*dx/dt
- The expressions dx/dt is the velocity component u and dy/dt is the velocity component v:
a_x = 4*(4*y) = 16y
a_y = 4*(4*x) = 16x
- The acceleration vector can be expressed by:
vec(a) = 16y i + 16x j
- Evaluate vector (a) at x = 1 and y = 1:
vec(a) = 16*1 i + 16*1 j = 16 i + 16 j
- The magnitude of acceleration is given by:
mag(a) = sqrt ( a^2_x + a^2_y )
mag(a) = sqrt ( 16^2 + 16^2 )
mag(a) = 22.63 ft/s^2
