How does an accelerometer work ?

Engineering
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

How an Accelerometer Works: When accelerometer is tilted, due to moving mass, alignment of capacitor plates changes which alters the capacitance value. These changes are measured by built in circuitry and outputs an analogue signal.

Do plastic materials have high or low ductility? Explain why.​
Flura [38]
The impact behavior of plastic materials is strongly dependent upon the temperature. At high temperatures, materials are more ductile and have high impact toughness. At low temperatures, some plastics that would be ductile at room temperature become brittle.

Airbags will deploy in a head on collision but not in a collision that occurs from angle
Aneli [31]

Answer:  

Airbags will deploy in almost any angle.

Explanation:

Cars have sensors around them, so when the car gets hit, the sensors detect a crash and deploy the airbags to keep you safe.

Paint can shaker mechanisms are common in paint and hardware stores. While they do a good job of mixing the paint, they are also
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A good design for a portable device to mix paint minimizing the shaking forces and vibrations while still effectively mixing the paint. Is:

The best design is one with centripetal movement. Instead of vertical or horizontal movement. With a container and system of holding structures made of materials that could absorb the vibration effectively.

Explanation:

First of all centripetal movement would be friendlier to our objective as it would not shake the can or the machine itself with disruptive vibrations. Also, we would have to use materials with a good grade of force absorption to eradicate the transmission of the movement to the rest of the structure. Allowing the reduction of the shaking forces while maintaining it effective in the process of mixing.

Two different fuels are being considered for a 2.5 MW (net output) heat engine which can operate between the highest temperature
sveta [45]

Answer:

If the heat engine operates for one hour:

a) the fuel cost at Carnot efficiency for fuel 1 is $409.09 while fuel 2 is $421.88.

b) the fuel cost at 40% of Carnot efficiency for fuel 1 is $1022.73 while fuel 2 is $1054.68.

In both cases the total cost of using fuel 1 is minor, therefore it is recommended to use this fuel over fuel 2. The final observation is that fuel 1 is cheaper.

Explanation:

The Carnot efficiency is obtained as:

\epsilon_{car}=1-\frac{T_c}{T_H}

Where T_c is the atmospheric temperature and T_H is the maximum burn temperature.

For the case (B), the efficiency we will use is:

\epsilon_{b}=0.4\epsilon_{car}

The work done by the engine can be calculated as:

W=\epsilon Q=\epsilon H_v\cdot m_{fuel} where Hv is the heat value.

If the average net power of the engine is work over time, considering a net power of 2.5MW for 1 hour (3600s), we can calculate the mass of fuel used in each case.

m=\frac{P\cdot t}{\epsilon H_v}

If we want to calculate the total fuel cost, we only have to multiply the fuel mass with the cost per kilogram.

TC=m\cdot c
