Answer:

9×10¹⁰ gallons

Explanation:

150×10⁶ cars × (12000 mi / car) × (1 gal / 20 mi) = 9×10¹⁰ gallons

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Q=15.7Kw

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Pressure P_1=4bar

Initial Temperature T_1=20 C

Final Pressure  P_2=12 bar

Final Temperature T_2=80C

Work Output W= 60 kJ/kg

Generally Specific Energy from table is

At initial state

 P_1=4bar \& T_1=20 C

 E_1=262.96KJ/Kg

With

Specific Volume V'=0.05397m^3/kg

At Final state

 P_2=12 bar \& P_2=80C

 E_1=310.24KJ/Kg

Generally the equation for The Process is mathematically given by

 m_1E_1+w=m_2E_2+Q

Assuming Mass to be Equal

 m_1=m_1

Where

 m=\frac{V}{V'}

 m=frac{0.06666}{V'=0.05397m^3/kg}

 m=1.24

Therefore

 1.24*262.96+60)=1.24*310.24+Q

 Q=15.7Kw

A westbound section of freeway currently has three 12-ft wide lanes, a 6-ft right shoulder, and no ramps within 3 miles upstream
Tresset [83]

Answer:

•Estimated density = 39.685Pc/mi/en

•Level of service, LOS frequency = LOSC

Explanation:

We are given:

•Freeway current lane width,B = 12ft

• freeway current shoulder width,b = 6ft

• percentage of heavy vehicle, Ptb = 10℅

• peak hour factor, PHF = 0.9

Let's consider,

•Number of lanes N = 4

• flow of traffic V = 7500vph

• percentage of Rv = 0, therefore the freeflow speed in freeway FFS = 70mph

• cars equivalent for recreational purpose Er= 2

•cars to be used for trucks and busses Etb= 2.5

Let's first calculate for the heavy adjustment factor.

We have:

F_H_v = \frac{1}{1+P_t_b(E_t_b-1)+Pr(Er-1)}

Substituting figures in the equation we have:

= \frac{1}{1+0.1(2.5-1)+0(2-1)}

= 0.75

Let's now calculate equivalent flow rate of the car using:

Vp = \frac{V}{(P_H_F)*N)*(F_H_v)*(F_p)}

= \frac{7500}{0.9*4*0.75*1}

= 2777.7 pc/h/en

Calculating for traffic density, we have:

D = \frac{Vp}{FFS}

D = \frac{2777.7}{70}

D = 39.685 Pc/mi/en

Using the table for LOS criteria of basic frequency segment, the level of service LOS of frequency is LOSC

A series of three direct shear tests has been conducted on a certain saturated soil. Each test was performed on a 2.375-inch dia
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Go to explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

Angle of friction (friction angle) is a measure of the ability of a unit of rock or soil to withstand a shear stress. It is the angle (φ), measured between the normal force (N) and resultant force (R), that is attained when failure just occurs in response to a shearing stress (S).

The cohesion intercept is a used when we want to describe the shear strength soils. The definition is mainly derived from the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and it is used to describe the non-frictional part of the shear resistance which is independent of the normal stress.

Please check attachment to Determine the friction angle and cohesion intercept.

Explain why many sustainable fishing and forestry practice depend on the actions of consumers like you.
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The reason why many sustainable fishing and forestry practice depend on the actions of consumers like me is:

  • <u>The offer is aimed at satisfying the demand for these products</u>.

Explanation:

Sustainable fishing and  forestry are based on allowing future generations to access the same products that we currently have, for this reason, a sustainable fishing practice can be waiting for fish to reproduce, in order to not to overexploit them and thus to extinguish them, however, as mentioned in the answer, the offer is aimed at satisfying the demand, therefore, <u>if consumers like me demand sea products even though they are not in the breeding season or without providing the time for the ecosystem to recover the extracted products, the supply will be forced to supply the demand despite the extinction of a species; The same applies to sustainable forestry, if they carry out reforestation work on wood products in proportions 10-1 (10 plants planted for each tree cut) or higher, but the consumer does not provide the prudent time to obtain wood products again, the indiscriminate felling in order to supply the product required by the consumer</u>.
