Explanation & answer:
Assuming a smooth transition so that there is no abrupt change in slopes to avoid frictional loss nor toppling, we can use energy considerations.
Initially, the cube has a kinetic energy of
KE = mv^2/2 = 10 lbm * 20^2 ft^2/s^2 / 2 = 2000 lbm-ft^2 / s^2
At the highest point when the block stops, the gain in potential energy is
PE = mgh = 10 lbm * 32.2 ft/s^2 * h ft = 322 lbm ft^2/s^2
By assumption, there was no loss in energies, we equate PE = KE
322h lbm ft^2/s^2 = 2000 lbm ft^2/s^2
=>
h = 2000 /322 = 6.211 (ft)
distance up incline = h / sin(30) = 12.4 ft
Answer: False
Explanation:
The statement that "a person hired by a pharmaceutical company to streamline the company’s drug production process would most likely be an electrical engineer" is false.
An electrical engineer is an engineer that designs, and tests electrical equipment like smartphones, electric motors, etc. The person designs equipments which makes use of electricity or electronics.
He or she doesn't streamline the company’s drug production process, this can be the role played by the production manager.
Answer: Contaminants can cause tremendous harm to a population; not only humans but entire local animal species can be devastated by poisonous drinking water. Crops and livestock can also be affected. Citizens can make prudent choices regarding natural resources and energy use. Scientists can research and create products that can reduce or eliminate unnecessary waste and pollution.
Explanation:
Answer:
Plumbing using a one-way check valve to stop water flowing back on a pump when the pump shuts off.
Explanation:
Diodes are like check valves, keeping current from flowing both ways. Used to create d.c. out of a.c by rectification. Also to block flow if d.c. power like a battery is hooked up in reverse polarity.
