Answer:

1) Reduced production cost

2) Improved service delivery to customers

3) Gain competitive advantage in the business

4) Get skilled expertise in the production of the goods

Explanation:

1) Reduced production cost

Companies manufacture product overseas to lower production cost which may include lower insurance, infrastructure and labor costs

2) Improved service delivery to customers

Manufacturing products overseas enables a company to provide quality products to their customers by gaining access to the skill and expertise of their overseas partner which enable the company to supply good quality products to customers in less time

3) Gain competitive advantage in the business

By manufacturing products overseas, the company is able to provide improved service to the customers while increasing production which increases customer satisfaction and loyalty

4) Get skilled expertise in the production of the goods

Manufacturing products overseas enables a company to improve their product quality in comparison to other local competitors at lesser cost by imputing current skilled expertise into the production of their goods which will see the goods having increased utility and advantage.

Consider the following incomplete code segment, which is intended to print the sum of the digits in num. For example, when num i

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A) while (num >= 0)

Explanation:

To understand why we need to focus on the module and division operation inside the loop. num % 10 divide the number by ten and take its remainder to then add this remainder to sum, the important here is that we are adding up the number in reverse order and wee need to repeat this process until we get the first number (1%10 = 1), therefore, num need to be one to compute the last operation.

A) this is the correct option because num = 1 > 0 and the last operation will be performed, and after the last operation, num = 1 will be divided by 10 resulting in 0 and 0 is not greater than 0, therefore, the cycle end and the result will be printed.

B) This can not be the option because this way the program will never ends -> 0%10 = 0 and num = 0/10 = 0

C) This can not be the option because num = 1 > 1 will produce an early end of the loop printing an incomplete result

D) The same problem than C

E) There is a point, before the operations finish, where sum > num, this will produce an early end of the loop, printing an incomplete result

In a paragraph of 125 words, distinguish the engineering design process from the reverse engineering process, citing at least th

Yuki888 [10]

The difference between the engineering design process and the reverse engineering process are there, but very subtle. The engineering design process is a process based on careful planning and months of designing to create a blueprint for a certain project. The reverse engineering process is the base of learning to create something by working backwards on a previously made inspiration for your project. Three differences are that that the engineering design process doesn't require any physical learning and is more based on mental and written learning (unlike the reverse engineering process). Another difference includes that in the reverse engineering process you don't need to take anything apart and learn how things work based on the on hands aspect of this variety of engineering. The final difference is that the engineering design project is made fresh from your own thoughts and not based off of a similar project.

If you are involved in a collision where there is injury, you must report the incident within .......

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

24 hours

Explanation:

you must exchange insurance details after a collision if someone is injured. Otherwise you must report the collision to us as soon as possible (and no later than 24 hours). Although you must report such a collision straight away you should always seek medical help in the first instance.

A. An 80-percent efficient pump with a power input of 20 hp is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at ar ate of 1.5 ft3 /

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A) mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping = 2.373 HP

B) efficiency = 66.82%

Pressure difference = 147 KPa

Explanation:

We are given;

efficiency of pump; η = 80% = 0.8

power input of pump;P_pump,in = 20 hp

rate being pumped; Q = 1.5 ft³/s = 0.04248 m³/s

free surface of pool; Δz = 80 ft = 24.384 m

mechanical pumping power used to deliver water is;

W_u = η × P_pump,in

W_u = 0.8 × 20

W_u = 16 Hp

Now, change in total mechanical energy of water will be equal to the change in potential energy.

Thus, it is expressed as;

ΔE_mech = ρ × Q × g × Δz

Where ρ is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Thus;

ΔE_mech = 1000 × 0.04248 × 9.81 × 24.384 = 10,161.5150592 J/s

Converting to HP gives;

ΔE_mech = 13.627 HP

Now, mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects is given by;

W_frict = W_u - ΔE_mech

W_frict = 16 - 13.627

W_frict = 2.373 HP

B) We are now given;

W_elect,in = 15.4 KW

Volumetric flow rate; q = 70 l/s = 0.07 m³/s

Height; h = 15 m

Mass flow rate; m' = qρ

Where ρ is density of water = 1000 kg/m³.

m' = 0.07 × 1000

m' = 70 kg/s

Now,

ΔE_mech = workdone through height of 15m

Thus;

ΔE_mech = m'gh

ΔE_mech = 70 × 9.8 × 15

ΔE_mech = 10,290 W = 10.29 Kw

efficiency of the pump–motor unit = ΔE_mech/(W_elect,in) = 10.29/15.4 = 0.6682 or 66.82%

Pressure difference = ρgh = 1000 × 9.8 × 15 = 147,000 Pa = 147 KPa

Which field in a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) header is chosen from ephemeral ports?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

<u>Source Port</u>

Explanation:

When a connection is establish for an application, it assigns a port that is not in use as the source port. Such ports are known as ephemera ports, which are not related to specific protocol and are only allocated for the period of the connection. All data received on this port (until the connection is disconnected) is sent on to that application.
