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

Refrigerant-134a at 400 psia has a specific volume of 0.1144 ft3/lbm. Determine the temperature of the refrigerant based on (a)
vekshin1

Answer:

a) Using Ideal gas Equation, T = 434.98°R = 435°R

b) Using Van Der Waal's Equation, T = 637.32°R = 637°R

c) T obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is T = 559.67°R = 560°R

Explanation:

a) Ideal gas Equation

PV = mRT

T = PV/mR

P = pressure = 400 psia

V/m = specific volume = 0.1144 ft³/lbm

R = gas constant = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T = 400 × 0.1144/0.1052 = 434.98 °R

b) Van Der Waal's Equation

T = (1/R) (P + (a/v²)) (v - b)

a = Van Der Waal's constant = (27R²(T꜀ᵣ)²)/(64P꜀ᵣ)

R = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T꜀ᵣ = critical temperature for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 673.6°R

P꜀ᵣ = critical pressure for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 588.7 psia

a = (27 × 0.1052² × 673.6²)/(64 × 588.7)

a = 3.596 ft⁶.psia/lbm²

b = (RT꜀ᵣ)/8P꜀ᵣ

b = (0.1052 × 673.6)/(8 × 588.7) = 0.01504 ft³/lbm

T = (1/0.1052) (400 + (3.596/0.1144²) (0.1144 - 0.01504) = 637.32°R

c) The temperature for the refrigerant-134a as obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is

T = 100°F = 559.67°R

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A.) 0.3088

B.) 0.0017

C.) part A

Explanation:

A.)

z1= \frac{\left(150-137\right)}{27.7}=0.4693

z2=\frac{\left(201-137\right)}{27.7}=2.3105

P(0.4693

B.)

z1=\frac{150-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}} =2.9309\\z2=\frac{201-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}}=14.4289

\\P(2.9309

C.) Since the seat performance for an individual pilot is more important than 39 different pilots.
