Answer:

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by lighting sstem is $8164.67.

Explanation:

The CO2 requirement for the plant is:

Amount of CO2 per year = (2.4 lb / KWh)(300,000 KWh)

Amount of CO2 per year = (720000 lb)(1 ton/ 2204.62 lb)

Amount of CO2 per year = 326.59 ton

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year will then be:

Economic Impact = ($25 / ton)(326.59 ton)

<u>Economic Impact = $8164.67</u>

Write a method printShampooInstructions(), with int parameter numCycles, and void return type. If numCycles is less than 1, prin

kirill [66]

Answer:

// The method is defined with a void return type

// It takes a parameter of integer called numCycles

// It is declared static so that it can be called from a static method

public static void printShampooInstructions(int numCycles){

// if numCycles is less than 1, it display "Too few"

if (numCycles < 1){

System.out.println("Too few.");

}

// else if numCycles is less than 1, it display "Too many"

else if (numCycles > 4){

System.out.println("Too many.");

}

// else it uses for loop to print the number of times to display

// Lather and rinse

else {

for(int i = 1; i <= numCycles; i++){

System.out.println(i + ": Lather and rinse.");

}

System.out.println("Done");

}

}

Explanation:

The code snippet is written in Java. The method is declared static so that it can be called from another static method. It has a return type of void. It takes an integer as parameter.

It display "Too few" if the passed integer is less than 1. Or it display "Too much" if the passed integer is more than 4. Else it uses for loop to display "Lather and rinse" based on the passed integer.

Tensile Strength (MPa) Number-Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

$\mathbf{M_n = 49163.56431 \ g/mol }$

Explanation:

The question can be well structured in a table format as illustrated below:

Tensile Strength (MPa) Number- Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

82 12,700

156 28,500

The tensile strength and number-average molecular weight for two polyethylene materials given above.

Estimate the number-average molecular weight that is required to give a tensile strength required above. Using the data given find TS (infinity) in MPa.

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

We know that :

$T_S = T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{M_n}$

where;

$T_S$ = Tensile Strength

$T_{S \infty}$ = Tensile Strength (Infinity)

$M_n$ = Number- Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

SO;

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{12700} ---- (1)$

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{28500} ---- (2)$

From equation (1) ; collecting the like terms; we have :

$T_{S \infty} =82+ \dfrac{A}{12700}$

From equation (2) ; we have:

$T_{S \infty} =156+ \dfrac{A}{28500}$

So; $T_{S \infty} = T_{S \infty}$

Then;

$T_{S \infty} =82+ \dfrac{A}{12700} =156+ \dfrac{A}{28500}$

Solving by L.C.M

$\dfrac{82(12700) + A}{12700} =\dfrac{156(28500) + A}{28500}$

$\dfrac{1041400 + A}{12700} =\dfrac{4446000 + A}{28500}$

By cross multiplying ; we have:

$({4446000 + A})* {12700} ={28500} *({1041400 + A})$

$(5.64642*10^{10} + 12700A) =(2.96799*10^{10}+ 28500A)$

Collecting like terms ; we have

$(5.64642*10^{10} - 2.96799*10^{10} ) =( 28500A- 12700A)$

$2.67843*10^{10} = 15800 \ A$

Dividing both sides by 15800:

$\dfrac{ 2.67843*10^{10} }{15800} =\dfrac{15800 \ A}{15800}$

A = 1695208.861

From equation (1);

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{12700} ---- (1)$

Replacing A = 1695208.861 in the above equation; we have:

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{1695208.861}{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= 82 + \dfrac{1695208.861}{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{82(12700) +1695208.861 }{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{1041400 +1695208.861 }{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{2736608.861 }{12700}$

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

From equation(2);

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{28500} ---- (2)$

Replacing A = 1695208.861 in the above equation; we have:

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{1695208.861}{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= 156 + \dfrac{1695208.861}{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{156(28500) +1695208.861 }{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{4446000 +1695208.861 }{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{6141208.861}{28500}$

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

We are to also estimate the number- average molecular weight that is required to give a tensile strength required above.

If the Tensile Strength (MPa) is 82 MPa

Definitely the average molecular weight will be = 12,700 g/mol

If the Tensile Strength (MPa) is 156 MPa

Definitely the average molecular weight will be = 28,500 g/mol

But;

Let us assume that the Tensile Strength (MPa) = 181 MPa for example.

Using the same formula:

$T_S = T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{M_n}$

Then:

$181 = 215.481- \dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n}$

Collecting like terms ; we have:

$\dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n} = 215.481- 181$

$\dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n} =34.481$

1695208.861= 34.481 $M_n$

Dividing both sides by 34.481; we have:

$M_n$ = $\dfrac{1695208.861}{34.481}$

$\mathbf{M_n = 49163.56431 \ g/mol }$

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags and readers are a category of low-end wireless devices that people may not recognize

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

See explaination.

Explanation:

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and readers uses the electromagnetic waves to identify and track the attached objects.

A tag is attached to the object which is to be identified or tracked, and reader is used to read the response and send the acknowledgement. Therefore, RFID tags and readers are used in many industries, passports, transportations and pet identification etc.

i.

RFID technology is used in smartcards, implants for pets, passports and library books to identify and track the persons, objects and pets etc.

Hence, we can say that option (i) is true.

ii.

Electronic Product Code (EPC) is a small code stored in the RFID tag. The code stored in the memory is 96 bits which are used to identify the organization which manages the data, unique number to identify the product and a number to identify the particular tag and etc.

EPC is a unique identification number, it can read and be written by the RFID reader. It is used in supply chains instead of a bar code even though expansive.

Hence, option (ii) is true.

iii.

Tags are used to identify and track the objects. It doesn’t belong to base stations and access points as a Wi-Fi networks.

Therefore, option (iii) is false.

iv.

The EPC Generation 2 RFID tag is used to improve the security by enabling the authentication features. It is not the similar way of data transmission in the other wireless situations.

Therefore, option (iv) is false.

Finally, the options (i) and (ii) are TRUE, while (iii) and (iv) are FALSE.

What is a system that performs different functions according to a fixed schedule?

geniusboy [140]

<u>I'm pretty sure your answer is B, because Sequential Control operates during order like a schedule</u>

Sequential Control=A control system in which the individual steps are processed in a predetermined order, progression from one sequence step to the next being dependent on defined conditions being satisfied.

Tell me if I'm incorrect but, Hope this helps!
