Suppose that you and two classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster. One classmate says that each summit must be l

ower than the preceding one. Your other classmate says this is nonsense, for as long as the first one is the highest, it doesn’t matter what height the others are. What do you say

Answer:

The second classmate is right.

Explanation:

The height of first summit provides the potential energy it will use to climb the following ones.

Ep = m * g * h

Where

m: mass

g: acceleration of gravity

h: height

When the train goes downwards the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (manifested as speed) and when it climbs it consumes its kinetical energy. As long as no summit is taller than the first the train should have enough energy to climb them.

Also it must be noted that friction also consumes energy, and if the track is too lomg all the energy might be consumed by it.

A piston-cylinder assembly has initially a volume of 0.3 m3 of air at 25 °C. Mass of the air is 1 kg. Weights are put on the pis
kogti [31]

Answer:

n=2.32

w= -213.9 KW

Explanation:

V_1=0.3m^3,T_1=298 K

V_2=0.1m^3,T_1=1273 K

Mass of air=1 kg

For polytropic process  pv^n=C ,n is the polytropic constant.

  Tv^{n-1}=C

  T_1v^{n-1}_1=T_2v^{n-1}_2

298\times .3^{n-1}_1=1273\times .1^{n-1}_2

n=2.32

Work in polytropic process given as

       w=\dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1}

      w=mR\dfrac{T_1-T_2}{n-1}

Now by putting the values

w=1\times 0.287\dfrac{289-1273}{2.32-1}

w= -213.9 KW

Negative sign indicates that work is given to the system or work is done on the system.

For T_V diagram

  We can easily observe that when piston cylinder reach on new position then volume reduces and temperature increases,so we can say that this is compression process.

Please write the following code in Python 3. Also please show all output(s) and share your code.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

sum2 = 0

counter = 0

lst = [65, 78, 21, 33]

while counter < len(lst):

   sum2 = sum2 + lst[counter]

   counter += 1

Explanation:

The counter variable is initialized to control the while loop and access the numbers in <em>lst</em>

While there are numbers in the <em>lst</em>,  loop through <em>lst</em>

Add the numbers in <em>lst</em> to the sum2

Increment <em>counter</em> by 1 after each iteration

When Ontario
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

This will be possible when setting them up in summer with a certain quantity of sag, they have already know that the cables won't be able to sag any further because of the heat. During winter, when the cables contract because of the cold weather, the sag will therefore be reduced, but much tension will not be put on the cables.

What is the magnitude of the maximum stress that exists at the tip of an internal crack having a radius of curvature of 1.9 × 10
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Recall the formula for the maximum stress, σₐ = 2σ₀ *√ (α/ρₓ)

where

σ₀ = tensile stress = 140 MPa = 1.40x 10⁸Pa

α = crack length = 3.8 × 10–2 mm = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵m

ρₓ = radius of curvature = 1.9 × 10⁻⁴mm = 1.9 × 10⁻⁷m

Substituting these values into the formula, we can calculate the max stress as

 ====== 2 x 1.40x 10⁸ x √(3.8 x 10⁻⁵/1.9 × 10⁻⁷)

σₐ  = 24.4MPa
