Answer:

B. Sustainability

Explanation:

In simple terms, sustainability refers to the utilization of available resources in manner that will not compromise the ability of future generation to meet their needs using the resource.

The pillars of sustainability are economics for profits generation from the resource use, environmental that focuses on the well being of our planet Earth as we use the resource and the social people which deals with the interaction of humans with the resource.

As an engineer, you should advocate for sustainable engineering practices which are processes of using available resources in a way that will not affect the environment and avoid material resources depletion for future generations usage.

Answer choice A is incorrect because a prototype is an engineering design first applied to solve a problem or a challenge in this sector as a test before implementing the whole solution to solve a problem in the required dimensions.

Answer choice C, is incorrect because implication is a conclusion made from a case though the solution is not done with direct iterative calculations.

Answer choice D is incorrect because specification refers to documented set of requirements that needs to be satisfied by a design ,material ,good or service.

Gwar [14]

Answer: Three examples of activities that I can perform on a daily basis that involves both metric units (SI units) and customary units include: measuring the length of a door using a tape measure, which includes both SI units and customary units (like feet, inches, and centimeters); baking a cake that requires one teaspoon (customary unit) of baking soda, which could also be converted into four grams (SI unit); weighing myself on a weighing scale, which can be measured by pounds (customary unit) or kilograms (metric unit).

Nitrogen at an initial state of 300 K, 150 kPa and 0.2 m3 is compressed slowly in an isothermal process to a final pressure of 8

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Work = - 4175.23 J

Heat Transfer = -4175.23 J

Explanation:

The work done in an isothermal process, is given by the following formula:

W = RT ln (P1/P2)

where,

W = Work done

R = Universal Gas Constant = 8.314 J/mol.k

T = Constant Temperature = 300 K

P1 = initial pressure = 150 KPa

P2 = final pressure = 800 KPa

using these values, we get:

W = (8.314 J/mol.K)(300 k) ln (150/800)

W = - 4175.23 J

Here, negative sign shows that work is done on the system.

In isothermal process, from 1st law of thermodynamics:

Heat Transfer = Q = W (Since change in internal energy is zero for isothermal processes)

W = - 4175.23 J

Here, negative sign shows that heat is transferred from the system to surrounding.

In ________ programming, the programming is centered on objects that are created from abstract data types that encapsulate data

Contact [7]

Answer:

Object-oriented

Explanation:

Object Oriented programming (OOP) is a specific way of programming, where the code is organized in units called classes, from which objects are created that are related to each other to achieve the objectives of the applications. Object-oriented programming took over as the dominant programming style in the mid-1980s, largely due to the influence of C ++. Its dominance was consolidated thanks to the rise of graphical user interfaces, for which object-oriented programming is particularly well suited. Its most important characteristics are the following:

Encapsulation

Polymorphism

Abstraction

Inheritance

Find the time-domain sinusoid for the following phasors:_________

sattari [20]

Answer:

a. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°) units

b. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°) units

c. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°) units

d. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°) units

Explanation:

To find the time-domain sinusoid for a phasor, given as a + bj, we follow the following steps:

(i) Convert the phasor to polar form. The polar form is written as;

r∠Ф

Where;

r = magnitude of the phasor = $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

Ф = direction = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{b}{a}$ )

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid (r(t)) as follows:

r(t) = r cos (ωt + Φ)

Where;

ω = angular frequency of the sinusoid

Φ = phase angle of the sinusoid

(a) 5 + j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{5^2 + 4^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{4}{5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (0.8)

Φ = 38.66°

5 + j4 = 6.40∠38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°)

(b) 5 - j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{5^2 + (-4)^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{-4}{5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (-0.8)

Φ = -38.66°

5 - j4 = 6.40∠-38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°)

(c) -5 + j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{(-5)^2 + 4^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{4}{-5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (-0.8)

Φ = -38.66°

-5 + j4 = 6.40∠-38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°)

(d) -5 - j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-4)^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{-4}{-5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (0.8)

Φ = 38.66°

-5 - j4 = 6.40∠38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°)
