Answer: 112 + 19.27

Explanation:

Super elevation is an inward transverse slope provided through out the length of the horizontal curve which ends up serving as a counteract to the centrifugal force and checks tendency of overturning. It changes from infinite radius to radius of a transition curve.

Super curve elevation (e) = 4%

4/100= 0.04

e= V^2/gR

Make R the subject of the formula.

egR= V^2

R= V^2/eg

V= 45mph

=45 × 0.44704m/s

=20.1168m/s

g (force due to gravity) =9.81

Therefore,

R= (20.1168)^2/9.81 × 0.04

= 1031.31m

Tangent Length( T) = PI - PC

Tangent Length= 10875 - 10500

=375m

T= R Tan(I/2)

375= 1031.31 × Tan(I/2)

I= 39.96

Also,

L= πRI/180

= 719.27m

Station PT= Stat PC+ L

10500 + 719.27

=11219.27

=112 + 19.27

Which of the following statements about glycogen metabolism is FALSE?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Glycogen is the primary energy source for muscle and liver cells.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a readily mobilized storage form of glucose. It is a very large, branched polymer of glucose residues that can be broken down to yield glucose molecules when energy is needed. Most of the glucose residues in glycogen are linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Branches at about every tenth residue are created by α-1,6-glycosidic bonds.

Glycogen is not as reduced as fatty acids are and consequently not as energy rich. Why do animals store any energy as glycogen? Why not convert all excess fuel into fatty acids? Glycogen is an important fuel reserve for several reasons. The controlled breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose increase the amount of glucose that is available between meals. Hence, glycogen serves as a buffer to maintain blood-glucose levels. Glycogen's role in maintaining blood-glucose levels is especially important because glucose is virtually the only fuel used by the brain, except during prolonged starvation. Moreover, the glucose from glycogen is readily mobilized and is therefore a good source of energy for sudden, strenuous activity. Unlike fatty acids, the released glucose can provide energy in the absence of oxygen and can thus supply energy for anaerobic activity.

What is a radio wave made up of? Molecules? Electrons? Other?
mafiozo [28]

Radio waves are radiated by charged particles when they are accelerated. They are produced artificially by time-varying electric currents, consisting of electrons flowing back and forth in a specially-shaped metal conductor called an antenna. ... Radio waves are received by another antenna attached to a radio receiver.

The electron concentration in silicon at T = 300 K is given by
puteri [66]

Answer:

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Temperature of silicon T=300k

Electron concentration n(x)=10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18})

                                        \frac{dn}{dx}=(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})

Electron diffusion coefficient is Dn = 25cm^2/s \approx 2.5*10^{-3}

Electron mobility is \mu n = 960 cm^2/V-s \approx0.096m/V

Electron current density Jn = -40 A/cm^2 \approx -40*10^{4}A/m^2

Generally the equation for the semiconductor is mathematically given by

Jn=qb_n\frac{dn}{dx}+nq \mu E

Therefore

-40*10^{4}=1.6*10^{-19} *(2.5*10^{-3})*(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})+(10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18}))*1.6*10^{-19}*0.096* E

E=\frac{-2.5*10^-^7 exp(\frac{-x}{18})+40*10^{4}}{1.536*10^-4exp(\frac{-x}{18} )}

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

An amplifier with 40 dB of small-signal, open-circuit voltage gain, an input resistance of 1 MO, and an output resistance of 100
Vanyuwa [196]

convert 40db to standard gain

AL=10^40/20=100

calculate total voltage gain

=AL×RL/RL+Ri

=83.33

38.41 DB

calculate power

Pi=Vi^2/Ri Po=Vo^2/RL

power gain= Po/Pi

=13.90×10^6
