A driver traveling in her 16-foot SUV at the speed limit of 30 mph was arrested for running a red light at 15th and Main, an int

ersection that is 60 feet wide. The driver claimed innocence, on the grounds that the traffic signals were not set properly. The yellow light was on for the standard 4 seconds. The SUV driver's reaction time is assumed to be 1.5 seconds. Comfortable deceleration is at a rate of 10 feet/second2. Did a dilemma zone exist on this intersection approach? If so, how long was it? Assume the vehicle must completely clear the intersection to avoid "running a red light." Yes, D 63 ft. 7.

Answer:

(a) Yes

(b) 102.8 ft

Explanation:

(a)First let convert mile per hour to feet per second

30 mph = 30 * 5280 / 3600 = 44 ft/s

The time it takes for this driver to decelerate comfortably to 0 speed is

t = v / a = 44 / 10 = 4.4 (s)

given that it also takes 1.5 seconds for the driver reaction, the total time she would need is 5.9 seconds. Therefore, if the yellow light was on for 4 seconds, that's not enough time and the dilemma zone would exist.

(b) At this rate the distance covered by the driver is

s = v_0t + \frac{at^2}{2}

s =44*1.5 + 44(4.4) - \frac{10*4.4^2}{2} = 162.8 (ft)

Since the intersection is only 60 feet wide, the dilemma zone must be

162.8 - 60 = 102.8 ft

Prove the following languages are nonregular, once using the pumping lemma and once using the Myhill-Nerode theorem. When using
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

For any string, we use s = xyz

Explanation:

The pumping lemma says that for any string s in the language, with length greater than the pumping length p, we can write s = xyz with |xy| ≤ p, such that xyi z is also in the language for every i ≥ 0. For the given language, we can take p = 2.

Here are the cases:

  • Consider any string a i b j c k in the language. If i = 1 or i > 2, we take x = \epsilon   and y = a. If i = 1, we must have j = k and adding any number of a’s still preserves the membership in the language. For i > 2, all strings obtained by pumping y as defined above, have two or more a’s and hence are always in the language.
  • For i = 2, we can take    and y = aa. Since the strings obtained by pumping in this case always have an even number of a’s, they are all in the language.
  • Finally, for the case i = 0, we take x = \epsilon  , and y = b if j > 0 and y = c otherwise. Since strings of the form b j c k are always in the language, we satisfy the conditions of the pumping lemma in this case as well.

An object whose mass is 251 kg is located at an elevation of 24 m above the surface of the earth. For g-9.78 ms, determine the g
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential =58.914 KJ

Explanation:

We know that

Gravitational Potential Energy = mass\times g\times Height

Given mass = 251 kg

Height= 24 m

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.78m/s^{2}

Applying values in the equation we get

Gravitational Potential Energy=251X9.78X24 Joules

Gravitational Potential Energy=58914.72 Joules

Gravitational Potential Energy =\frac{58914.72}{1000}KJ= 58.914KJ

What was the role of the rotors in the enigma machine?.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Implements a reordering of the letters of the alphabet.

Explanation: GIVE ME 5 STARS AND a HEART!!!                                      Those contacts are wired across the rotor so that each contact on the left connects to the contact on the right in some scrambled arrangement. Each rotor, therefore, implements a reordering of the letters of the alphabet, which mathematicians call a permutation.

Should aircraft wings have infinite stiffness?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

No, they need to be somewhat flexible so that forces such as turbulance don't shear the wing off.

2. A counter flow tube-shell heat exchanger is used to heat a cold water stream from 18 to 78oC at a flow rate of 1 kg/s. Heatin
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a) L = 220\,m, b) U_{o} \approx 0.63\,\frac{kW}{m^{2}\cdot ^{\textdegree}C}

Explanation:

a) The counterflow heat exchanger is presented in the attachment. Given that cold water is an uncompressible fluid, specific heat does not vary significantly with changes on temperature. Let assume that cold water has the following specific heat:

c_{p,c} = 4.186\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C}

The effectiveness of the counterflow heat exchanger as a function of the capacity ratio and NTU is:

\epsilon = \frac{1-e^{-NTU\cdot(1-c)}}{1-c\cdot e^{-NTU\cdot (1-c)}}

The capacity ratio is:

c = \frac{C_{min}}{C_{max}}

c = \frac{(1\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot(4.186\,\frac{kW}{kg^{\textdegree}C} )}{(1.8\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot(4.30\,\frac{kW}{kg^{\textdegree}C} )}

c = 0.541

Heat exchangers with NTU greater than 3 have enormous heat transfer surfaces and are not justified economically. Let consider that NTU = 2.5. The efectiveness of the heat exchanger is:

\epsilon = \frac{1-e^{-(2.5)\cdot(1-0.541)}}{1-(2.5)\cdot e^{-(2.5)\cdot (1-0.541)}}

\epsilon \approx 0.824

The real heat transfer rate is:

\dot Q = \epsilon \cdot \dot Q_{max}

\dot Q = \epsilon \cdot C_{min}\cdot (T_{h,in}-T_{c,in})

\dot Q = (0.824)\cdot (4.186\,\frac{kW}{^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (160^{\textdegree}C-18^{\textdegree}C)

\dot Q = 489.795\,kW

The exit temperature of the hot fluid is:

\dot Q = \dot m_{h}\cdot c_{p,h}\cdot (T_{h,in}-T_{h,out})

T_{h,out} = T_{h,in} - \frac{\dot Q}{\dot m_{h}\cdot c_{p,h}}

T_{h,out} = 160^{\textdegree}C + \frac{489.795\,kW}{(7.74\,\frac{kW}{^{\textdegree}C} )}

T_{h,out} = 96.719^{\textdegree}C

The log mean temperature difference is determined herein:

\Delta T_{lm} = \frac{(T_{h,in}-T_{c, out})-(T_{h,out}-T_{c,in})}{\ln\frac{T_{h,in}-T_{c, out}}{T_{h,out}-T_{c,in}} }

\Delta T_{lm} = \frac{(160^{\textdegree}C-78^{\textdegree}C)-(96.719^{\textdegree}C-18^{\textdegree}C)}{\ln\frac{160^{\textdegree}C-78^{\textdegree}C}{96.719^{\textdegree}C-18^{\textdegree}C} }

\Delta T_{lm} \approx 80.348^{\textdegree}C

The heat transfer surface area is:

A_{i} = \frac{\dot Q}{U_{i}\cdot \Delta T_{lm}}

A_{i} = \frac{489.795\,kW}{(0.63\,\frac{kW}{m^{2}\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot(80.348^{\textdegree}C) }

A_{i} = 9.676\,m^{2}

Length of a single pass counter flow heat exchanger is:

L =\frac{A_{i}}{\pi\cdot D_{i}}

L = \frac{9.676\,m^{2}}{\pi\cdot (0.014\,m)}

L = 220\,m

b) Given that tube wall is very thin, inner and outer heat transfer areas are similar and, consequently, the cold side heat transfer coefficient is approximately equal to the hot side heat transfer coefficient.

U_{o} \approx 0.63\,\frac{kW}{m^{2}\cdot ^{\textdegree}C}
