Consider an 8-car caravan, where the propagation speed is 100 km/hour, each car takes 1 minute to pass a toll both. The caravan

starts in front of toll booth A, goes through toll booth B, and ends after passing toll booth C. Let dAB and dBC be the distance between A-B, and B-C.
a. Suppose dAB = dBc = 10 km. What is the end-to-end delay if the caravan travels together (i.e., the first car must wait for the last car after passing each toll booth)?
b. Repeat a), but assume the cars travel separately (i.e., not waiting for each other).
c. Repeat a) and b), but suppose dAB = dBC =100 km
d. Still suppose dAB = dBC = 100 km. Suppose toll booth B takes 10 minute to pass each car (A and C still takes 1 minute per car). Where is the first car when the second car passes B?
e. Under the assumption of d), what is the maximum value of dBC such that the first car has passed C when the second car passes B?

Answer:

A. 36 minutes

B. 120 minutes

C.

i. 144 minutes

ii. 984 minutes

D. Car 1 is 1.67km ahead of Cat 2 when Car 2 passed the toll B.

E. 98.33km

Explanation

A.

Given

dAb = 10km

dBc = 10km

Propagation Speed = 100km/hr

Delay time = 1 minute

Numbers of cars = 8

Number of tolls = 3

Total End to End delay = Propagation delay + Transition delay

Calculating Propagation Delay

Propagation delay = Total Distance/Propagation speed

Total distance = 10km + 10km = 20km

So, Propagation delay = 20km/100km/hr

Propagation delay = 0.2 hour

                               

Translation delay = delay time* numbers of tolls * numbers of cars

Transitional delay = 1 * 3 * 8

Transitional delay = 24 minutes

Total End delay = 24 minutes + 0.2 hours

= 24 minutes + 0.2 * 60 minutes

= 24 minutes + 12 minutes

= 36 minutes

B.

Total End to End delay = Propagation delay + Transition delay

Calculating Propagation Delay

Propagation delay = Total Distance/Propagation speed

Total distance = 10km + 10km = 20km

So, Propagation delay = 20km/100km/hr

Propagation delay = 0.2 hour

                               

Translation delay = delay time* numbers of tolls ------ Cars traveling separately

Transitional delay = 1 * 3

Transitional delay = 3 minutes

Total End delay for one car = 3 minutes + 0.2 hours

= 3 minutes + 0.2 * 60 minutes

= 3 minutes + 12 minutes

= 15 minutes

Total End delay for 8 cars = 8 * 15 = 120 minutes

C.

Given

dAb = 100km

dBc = 100km

Propagation Speed = 100km/hr

Delay time = 1 minute

Numbers of cars = 8

Number of tolls = 3

i. Cars travelling together

Total End to End delay = Propagation delay + Transition delay

Calculating Propagation Delay

Propagation delay = Total Distance/Propagation speed

Total distance = 100km + 100km = 200km

So, Propagation delay = 200km/100km/hr

Propagation delay = 2 hours

                               

Translation delay = delay time* numbers of tolls * numbers of cars

Transitional delay = 1 * 3 * 8

Transitional delay = 24 minutes

Total End delay = 24 minutes + 2 hours

= 24 minutes + 2 * 60 minutes

= 24 minutes + 120 minutes

= 144 minutes

ii. Cars travelling separately

Total End to End delay = Propagation delay + Transition delay

Calculating Propagation Delay

Propagation delay = Total Distance/Propagation speed

Total distance = 100km + 100km = 200km

So, Propagation delay = 200km/100km/hr

Propagation delay = 2 hours

                               

Translation delay = delay time* numbers of tolls ------ Cars traveling separately

Transitional delay = 1 * 3

Transitional delay = 3 minutes

Total End delay for one car = 3 minutes + 2 hours

= 3 minutes + 2 * 60 minutes

= 3 minutes + 120 minutes

= 123 minutes

Total End delay for 8 cars = 8 * 123 = 984 minutes

D.

Distance = 100km

Time = 1 min/car

Car 1 is 1 minute ahead of car 2 --- at toll A and B

If car 1 leaves toll B after 10 minutes then cat 2 leaves after 11 minutes

Time delay = 11 - 10 = 1 minute

Distance = time * speed

= 1 minute * 100km/hr

= 1 hr/60 * 100 km/hr

= 100/60

= 1.67km

E.

Given

Distance = 100km

Distance behind = 1.67

Maximum value of dBc = 100km - 1.67km = 98.33km

The maximum distance that can be reached is 98.33km

Engineers are designing a cylindrical air tank and are trying to determine the dimensions of the tank. The proposed material for
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The length of tank is found to be 0.6 m or 600 mm

Explanation:

In order to determine the length, we need to find a volume for the tank.

For this purpose, we use ideal gas equation:

PV  = nRT

n = no. of moles = m/M

Therefore,

PV = (m/M)(RT)

V = (mRT)/(MP)

where,

V = volume of air = volume of container

m = mass of air = 4.64 kg

R = General Gas Constant = 8.314 J/mol.k

T = temperature of air = 10°C + 273 = 283 K

M = molecular mass of air = 0.02897 kg/mol

P = Pressure of Air = 20 MPa = 20 x 10^6 N/m²

V = (4.64 kg)(8.314 J/mol.k)(283 k)/(0.02897 kg/mol)(20 x 10^6 N/m²)

V = 0.01884 m³

Now, the volume of cylindrical tank is given as:

V = 0.01884 m³ = π(Diameter/2)²(Length)

Length = (0.01884 m³)(4)/π(0.2 m)²

<u>Length = 0.6 m = 600 mm</u>

An ac source of period T and maximum voltage V is connected to a single unknown ideal element that is either a resistor, and ind
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The unknown element is Capacitor.

Explanation:

The sinusoidal voltage is given as:

v(t) = V Sin (ωt + Ф)

Where:

V = Amplitude of Voltage

ω = 2π / T = > Time period (T)

Ф = phase shift

Considering no horizontal phase shift in the wave form, the equation can be written as:

v(t) = V Sin (ωt)--------(1)

Since, current in the capacitor can be given as:

i(t) = C dv(t)/dt = ωCV Cos (ωt)--------(2)

Now, checking all conditions:

At t=0 :

Equation (1) implies:

v(t) = V Sin [(2π/T)(0)] = V Sin (0)

v(t) = 0

The above finding satisfies the condition in the question. Now checking other conditions.

At t = T/4:

Equation (2) implies:

i(t) = ωCV Cos [(2π/T)(T/4)] = ωCV Cos [(π/2)] = ωCV (0)

i(t) = 0

At t = T/2 :

Equation (2) implies:

i(t) = ωCV Cos [(2π/T)(T/2)] = ωCV Cos [(π)] = ωCV (-1)

i(t) = - ωCV = max amplitude of current in negative direction

All three conditions of voltage and currents of question are satisfied with equations of capacitor hence, the unknown element is capacitor.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Hence wavelength of the photons produced by the laser is

\frac{hc}{eV_0}

Explanation:

Given

Efficiency of laser - 30%

As we know

eV_0 = \frac{hc}{\Lambda}

h = plank's constant

c = speed of light

eV0 = band gap

Hence wavelength of the photons produced by the laser is

\Lambda= \frac{hc}{eV_0}
