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

Indicate the correct statement about the effect of Reynolds number on the character of the flow over an object.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

Explanation:

Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.

It is calculated as;

R_e__N} = \frac{\rho vd}{\mu}

where;

ρ is density

v is velocity

d is diameter

μ is viscosity

All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.

In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

A race car is travelling around a circular track. The velocity of the car is 20 m/s, the radius of the track is 300 m, and the m
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

μ = 0.136

Explanation:

given,

velocity of the car = 20 m/s

radius of the track = 300 m

mass of the car = 2000 kg

centrifugal force

F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F_c = \dfrac{2000\times 20^2}{300}

F c = 2666. 67 N

F f= μ N

F f = μ m g

2666.67  =  μ × 2000 × 9.8

μ = 0.136

so, the minimum coefficient of friction between road surface and car tyre is equal to μ = 0.136

Based on experimental observations, the acceleration of a particle is defined by the relationa = -( 0.1 + sin(x/b) ),where a and
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

a) v = +/- 0.323 m/s

b) x = -0.080134 m

c) v = +/- 1.004 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

                             a = - (0.1 + sin(x/b))

b = 0.8

v = 1 m/s @ x = 0

Find:

(a) the velocity of the particle when x = -1 m

(b) the position where the velocity is maximum

(c) the maximum velocity.

Solution:

- We will compute the velocity by integrating a by dt.

                           a = v*dv / dx =  - (0.1 + sin(x/0.8))

- Separate variables:

                           v*dv = - (0.1 + sin(x/0.8)) . dx

-Integrate from v = 1 m/s @ x = 0:

                          0.5(v^2) = - (0.1x - 0.8cos(x/0.8)) - 0.8 + 0.5

                          0.5v^2 =  0.8cos(x/0.8) - 0.1x - 0.3

- Evaluate @ x = -1

                          0.5v^2 = 0.8 cos(-1/0.8) + 0.1 -0.3

                          v = sqrt (0.104516)

                          v = +/- 0.323 m/s

- v = v_max when a = 0:

                           -0.1 = sin(x/0.8)

                             x = -0.8*0.1002

                             x = -0.080134 m

- Hence,

                            v^2 = 1.6 cos(-0.080134/0.8) -0.6 -0.2*-0.080134

                            v = sqrt (0.504)

                            v = +/- 1.004 m/s

When _____ ,the lithium ions are removed from the_____ and added into the _____
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

b. Discharging; anode; cathode

Explanation:

When discharging , it means the battery is producing a flow electric current, the lithium ions are released from the  anode to the cathode which generates the flow of electrons from one side to another. When charging Lithium ions are released by the cathode and received by the anode.
