Answer: At time 18.33 seconds it will have moved 500 meters.

Explanation:

Since the acceleration of the car is a linear function of time it can be written as a function of time as

a(t)=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

a=\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}\\\\\therefore \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

Integrating both sides we get

\int \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}dt=\int 5(1-\frac{t}{15})dt\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=v=5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30}+c

Now since car starts from rest thus at time t = 0 ; v=0 thus c=0

again integrating with respect to time we get

\int \frac{dx}{dt}dt=\int (5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30})dt\\\\x(t)=\frac{5t^{2}}{2}-\frac{5t^{3}}{90}+D

Now let us assume that car starts from origin thus D=0

thus in the first 15 seconds it covers a distance of

x(15)=2.5\times 15^{2}-\farc{15^{3}}{18}=375m

Thus the remaining 125 meters will be covered with a constant speed of

v(15)=5\times 15-\frac{15^{2}}{6}=37.5m/s

in time equalling t_{2}=\frac{125}{37.5}=3.33seconds

Thus the total time it requires equals 15+3.33 seconds

t=18.33 seconds

For methyl chloride at 100°C the second and third virial coefficients are: B = −242.5 cm 3 ·mol −1 C = 25,200 cm 6 ·mol −2 Calcu
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

a)W=12.62 kJ/mol

b)W=12.59 kJ/mol

Explanation:

At T = 100 °C the second and third virial coefficients are

B = -242.5 cm^3 mol^-1

C = 25200 cm^6  mo1^-2

Now according isothermal work of one mole methyl gas is

W=-\int\limits^a_b {P} \, dV

a=v_2\\

b=v_1

from virial equation  

\frac{PV}{RT}=z=1+\frac{B}{V}+\frac{C}{V^2}\\   \\P=RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2})\frac{1}{V}\\

And  

W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V}  } \, dV

a=v_2\\

b=v_1

Now calculate V1 and V2 at given condition

\frac{P1V1}{RT} = 1+\frac{B}{v_1} +\frac{C}{v_1^2}

Substitute given values P_1\\ = 1 x 10^5 , T = 373.15 and given values of coefficients we get  

10^5(v_1)/8.314*373.15=1-242.5/v_1+25200/v_1^2

Solve for V1 by iterative or alternative cubic equation solver we get

v_1=30780 cm^3/mol

Similarly solve for state 2 at P2 = 50 bar we get  

v_1=241.33 cm^3/mol

Now  

W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V}  } \, dV

a=241.33

b=30780

After performing integration we get work done on the system is  

W=12.62 kJ/mol

(b) for Z = 1 + B' P +C' P^2 = PV/RT by performing differential we get  

         dV=RT(-1/p^2+0+C')dP

Hence work done on the system is  

W=-\int\limits^a_b {P(RT(-1/p^2+0+C')} \, dP

a=v_2\\

b=v_1

by substituting given limit and P = 1 bar , P2 = 50 bar and T = 373 K we get work  

W=12.59 kJ/mol

The work by differ between a and b because the conversion of constant of virial coefficients are valid only for infinite series

Design for human-fit strategies include:
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

B- extreme fit, close fit, adjustable fit

Explanation:

A human-fit design typically involves the process of manufacturing or producing products (tools) that are easy to use by the end users. Therefore, human-fit designs mainly deals with creating ideas that makes the use of a particular product comfortable and convenient for the end users.

The design for human-fit strategies include; extreme fit, close fit and adjustable fit.

Hence, when the aforementioned strategies are properly integrated into a design process, it helps to ensure the ease of use of products and guarantees comfort for the end users.
