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.

Two routes connect an origin and a destination. Routes 1 and 2 have performance functions t1 = 2 + X1 and t2 = 1 + X2, where the

Musya8 [376]

Solution :

Given

$t_1=2+x_1$

$t_2=1+x_2$

Now,

$$P(h$

$0.4=1-P(h \geq5)$

$0.6=P(h \geq5)$

$0.6= e^{\frac{-x_1 5}{3600}}$

Therefore, $x_1=368 \ veh/h$

$=\frac{368}{1000} = 0.368$

Given, $t_1=2+x_1$

= 2 + 0.368

= 2.368 min

At user equilibrium, $t_2=t_1$

∴ $t_2$ = 2.368 min

$t_2=1+x_2$

$2.368=1+x_2$

$x_2 = 1.368$

$x_2 = 1.368 \times 1000$

= 1368 veh/h

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the disadvantages of solar cells is that electricity storage systems are not readily available. Excess energy generated by the solar panels are wasted except they are stored by solar batteries for later use. There are various systems for storing electricity from solar cells apart from solar batteries which is the common storage system. An example of another electricity storage system for solar cell is using the water electrolyzer to store solar energy which can be used to later generate hydroelectricity.

Advantages of a solar cell includes Renewable energy, Economy-friendly and environmental-friendly energy and good durability

A reservoir delivers water to a horizontal pipeline 39 long The first 15 m has a diameter of 50 mm, after which it suddenly beco

allsm [11]

Answer:

The difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.

Explanation:

For pipe 1

$d_1=50 mm,f_1=0.0048$

For pipe 2

$d_2=75 mm,f_2=0.0058$

Q=2.8 l/s

$Q=2.8\times 10^{-3]$

We know that Q=AV

$Q=A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$A_1=1.95\times 10^{-3}m^2$

$A_2=4.38\times 10^{-3} m^2$

$So V_2=0.63 m/s,V_1=1.43 m/s$

head loss (h)

$h=\dfrac{f_1L_1V_1^2}{2gd_1}+\dfrac{f_2L_2V_2^2}{2gd_2}+0.5\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}$

Now putting the all values

$h=\dfrac{0.0048\times 15\times 1.43^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.05}+\dfrac{0.0058\times 24\times 0.63^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.075}+0.5\dfrac{1.43^2}{2\times 9.81}$

So h=0.23 m

So the difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.
