A police officer in a patrol car parked in a 70 km/h speed zone observes a passing automobile traveling at a slow, constant spee

d. Believing that the driver of the automobile might be intoxicated, the office starts his car, accelerates uniformly to 90 km/h in 8 s, and, maintaining a constant velocity of 90 km/h, overtakes the motorist 42 s after the automobile passed him. Knowing that 18 s elapsed before the officer began pursuing the motorist, determine
(a) the distance the officer traveled before overtaking the motorist,
(b) the motorist's speed.

Answer:

S = 0.5 km

velocity of motorist = 42.857 km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed  = 70 km/h

accelerates uniformly = 90 km/h

time = 8 s

overtakes motorist =  42 s

solution

we know  initial velocity u1 of police = 0

final velocity u2 = 90 km/h = 25 mps

we apply here equation of motion

u2 = u1 + at  

so acceleration a will be

a = \frac{25-0}{8}

a = 3.125  m/s²

so

distance will be

S1 = 0.5 × a × t²

S1 = 100 m = 0.1 km

and

S2 = u2 ×  t

S2 = 25  × 16

S2 = 400 m = 0.4 km  

so total distance travel by police

S = S1 + S2

S = 0.1 + 0.4

S = 0.5 km

and

when motorist travel with  uniform velocity

than total time = 42 s

so velocity of motorist will be

velocity of motorist = \frac{S}{t}

velocity of motorist =  \frac{500}{42}  

velocity of motorist = 42.857 km/h

Answer:

Ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently safe and benign as possible. Minimize the depletion of natural resources. Prevent waste. Develop and apply engineering solutions while being cognizant of local geography, aspirations, and cultures.Green engineering is the design, commercialization, and use of processes and products that minimize pollution, promote sustainability, and protect human health without sacrificing economic viability and efficiency.The goal of environmental engineering is to ensure that societal development and the use of water, land and air resources are sustainable. This goal is achieved by managing these resources so that environmental pollution and degradation is minimized.

A material has the following properties: Sut = 275 MPa and n = 0.40. Calculate its strength coefficient, K.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The strength coefficient is K = 591.87 MPa

Explanation:

We can calculate the strength coefficient using the equation that relates the tensile strength with the strain hardening index given by

S_{ut}=K \left(\cfrac ne \right)^n

where Sut is the tensile strength, K is the strength coefficient we need to find and n is the strain hardening index.

Solving for strength coefficient

From the strain hardening equation we can solve for K

K = \cfrac{S_{ut}}{\left(\cfrac ne \right)^n}

And we can replace values

K = \cfrac{275}{\left(\cfrac {0.4}e \right)^{0.4}}\\K=591.87

Thus we get that the strength coefficient is K = 591.87 MPa

A battery is connected to a resistor. Increasing the resistance of the resistor will __________. A battery is connected to a res
belka [17]

Answer: the increase in the external resistor will affect and decrease the current in the circuit.

Explanation: A battery has it own internal resistance, r, and given an external resistor of resistance, R, the equation of typical of Ohm's law giving the flow of current is

E = IR + Ir = I(R + r)........(1)

Where IR is the potential difference flowing in the external circuit and Or is the lost voltage due to internal resistance of battery. From (1)

I = E/(R + r)

As R increases, and E, r remain constant, the value (R + r) increases, hence the value of current, I, in the external circuit decreases.

How many 10" diameter circles can be cut from a semicircular shape that has a 20"
N76 [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1

Explanation:

Only one such circle can be drawn. The diameter of the 10" circle will be a radius of the semicircle. In order for the 10" circle to be wholly contained, the flat side of the semicircle must be tangent to the 10" circle. There is only one position in the figure where that can happen. (see attached).
