Answer:

Tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step1

Under-inflation is the process of tire failure under low pressure. This contributes the wear on tire.

Step2

On breaking, kinetic energy changes to heat energy because of rubbing of tire. So, rubbing action increases the wear on the tire.

Step3

Acceleration on the vehicle increases the rubbing action as well as the wear and tear on the tire. So, acceleration is an also a major cause of tire wear.

Step4

Tire rotation has least amount of wear and tear due to no rubbing action.  It has less amount surface contact with the surface in rotation.  

Thus, tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

A plate clutch has a single friction surface 9-in OD by 7-in ID. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the maximum pressure is
Talja [164]

Answer:

the torque capacity is  30316.369 lb-in

Explanation:

Given data

OD = 9 in

ID = 7 in

coefficient of friction = 0.2

maximum pressure = 1.5 in-kip = 1500 lb

To find out

the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure assumption.

Solution

We know the the torque formula for uniform pressure theory is

torque = 2/3 × \pi × coefficient of friction × maximum pressure ( R³ - r³ )    .....................................1

here R = OD/2 = 4.5 in and r = ID/2 = 3.5 in

now put all these value R, r, coefficient of friction and  maximum pressure in equation 1 and we will get here torque

torque = 2/3 × \pi × 0.2 × 1500 ( 4.5³ - 3.5³ )

so the torque =  30316.369 lb-in

Suppose that you and two classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster. One classmate says that each summit must be l
Kitty [74]

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.

Eight energy corporations made plans to increase their combined spending on efficiency programs to $50 million per year for the
tangare [24]

Answer:

F=531831381

Explanation:

There are two  ways of doing this question:

1) By Formula

2) By Using  Compound interest Table

By Formula:

F=A*\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}

Where:

F is future value

A is annual amount per year

i is interest rate

n is number of years

F=50 million*\frac{(1+0.08)^{8}-1}{0.08}

F=531831381

By Using  Compound interest Table:

F=A(F/A,i,n)

From Table F/A at i=8% and n=8 is 10.6366

F=50000000*(10.6366)

F=531830000≅531831381

The difference in two answers is due to decimal points if you take value from table to greater decimal points you will get the exact answer as by using formula.
