Answer: they would be 300 miles from the station.

Explanation:

At the point where both trains meet, they would have covered the same distance.

Let t represent the time spent by the first train in covering this distance.

Distance = speed × time

The first train leaves the station and travels north at 60km/hr.

Distance covered by the first train is

60 × t = 60t

Two hours later, a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 100km/hr. Time spent by the second train in covering this distance is (t - 2) hours

Distance covered by the second train is

100(t - 2) = 100t - 200

Since both trains covered the same distance, then

100t - 200 = 60t

100t - 60t = 200

40t = 200

t = 200/40

t = 5 hours

The distance that they would be from the station is

60 × 5 = 300 miles

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b
scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.

Question #8
iris [78.8K]

Problem solving is the act of orderly searching for solutions to problem

The correct option that involves approaching a problem in a new way is the option;

Creative thinking

The reasons why creative thinking is the correct option is given as follows;

Finding new ways to approach a problem, involves considering alternatives to already known approaches to the problem

Given that the options to be considered are to be options which have not been applied, then the process does not involve;

Context: Which looks at the variables that relate the problem with setting or circumstance that aid understanding of the problem

Critical thinking; Which is based on the analysis of the known facts, but the new proposals are required

Perseverance; Which involves adherence to a particular option despite delay or difficulty

However;

Creative thinking; Creative thinking involves the consideration of a situation thing or problem in a new way or by approaching a task differently than what was considered a regular approach, which involves finding an unused or imaginative approach to a problem

Therefore;

The option that involves finding new ways to approach a problem is <u>creative thinking</u>

Determine the constant speed at which the cable at A must be drawn in by the motor in order to hoist the load 6 m in 1.5s
zlopas [31]

Answer:

4m/s

Explanation:

We know that power supplied by the motor should be equal to the rate at which energy is increased of the mass that is to be hoisted

Mathematically

Power_{motor} } =\frac{Energy }{time}\

We also know that Power = force x velocity      ..................(i)

The force supplied by the motor should be equal to the weight (mg) of the block since we lift the against a force equal to weight of load

=> power = mg x Velocity........(ii)

While hoisting the load at at constant speed only the potential energy of the mass increases

Thus Potential energy = Mass x g x H...................(iii)

where

g = accleration due to gravity (9.81m/s2)

H = Height to which the load is hoisted  

Equating equations (ii) and (iii) we get

m x g x v = \frac{mgh}{t}

thus we get v = H/t

Applying values we get

v = 6/1.5 = 4m/s
