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.

Answer:

This band gap also allows semiconductors to convert light into electricity in photovoltaic cells and to emit light as LEDs when made into certain types of diodes. Both these processes rely on the energy absorbed or released by electrons moving between the conduction and valence bands.

Assume the impedance of a circuit element is Z = (3 + j4) Ω. Determine the circuit element’s conductance and susceptance.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

B. G = 333 mS, B = j250 mS

Explanation:

impedance of a circuit element is Z = (3 + j4) Ω

The general equation for impedance

Z = (R + jX) Ω

where

R = resistance in ohm

X = reactance

R = 3Ω X = 4Ω

Conductance = 1/R while Susceptance = 1/X

Conductance = 1/3 = 0.333S

= 333 mS

Susceptance = 1/4 = 0.25S

= 250mS

The right option is B. G = 333 mS, B = j250 mS

A 60-cm-high, 40-cm-diameter cylindrical water tank is being transported on a level road. The highest acceleration anticipated i

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$h_{max} = 51.8 cm$

Explanation:

given data:

height of tank = 60cm

diameter of tank =40cm

accelration = 4 m/s2

suppose x- axis - direction of motion

z -axis - vertical direction

$\theta$ = water surface angle with horizontal surface

$a_x =$ accelration in x direction

$a_z =$ accelration in z direction

slope in xz plane is

$tan\theta = \frac{a_x}{g +a_z}$

$tan\theta = \frac{4}{9.81+0}$

$tan\theta =0.4077$

the maximum height of water surface at mid of inclination is

$\Delta h = \frac{d}{2} tan\theta$

$=\frac{0.4}{2}0.4077$

$\Delta h 0.082 cm$

the maximu height of wwater to avoid spilling is

$h_{max} = h_{tank} -\Delta h$

= 60 - 8.2

$h_{max} = 51.8 cm$

the height requird if no spill water is $h_{max} = 51.8 cm$

A hydraulic jump is induced in an 80 ft wide channel.The water depths on either side of the jump are 1 ft and 10 ft.Please calcu

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) 42.08 ft/sec

b) 3366.33 ft³/sec

c) 0.235

d) 18.225 ft

e) 3.80 ft

Explanation:

Given:

b = 80ft

y1 = 1 ft

y2 = 10ft

a) Let's take the formula:

$\frac{y2}{y1} = \frac{1}{5} * \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1}$

$10*2 = \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1$

1 + 8f² = (20+1)²

= 8f² = 440

f² = 55

f = 7.416

For velocity of the faster moving flow, we have :

$\frac{V_1}{\sqrt{g*y_1}} = 7.416$

$V_1 = 7.416 *\sqrt{32.2*1}$

V1 = 42.08 ft/sec

b) the flow rate will be calculated as

Q = VA

VA = V1 * b *y1

= 42.08 * 80 * 1

= 3366.66 ft³/sec

c) The Froude number of the sub-critical flow.

V2.A2 = 3366.66

Where A2 = 80ft * 10ft

Solving for V2, we have:

$V_2 = \frac{3666.66}{80*10}$

= 4.208 ft/sec

Froude number, F2 =

$\frac{V_2}{g*y_2} = \frac{4.208}{32.2*10}$

F2 = 0.235

d) $El = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)^3}{4*y_1*y_2}$

$El = \frac{(10-1)^3}{4*1*10}$

$= \frac{9^3}{40}$

= 18.225ft

e) for critical depth, we use :

$y_c = [\frac{(\frac{3366.66}{80})^2}{32.2}]^1^/^3$

= 3.80 ft

marysya [2.9K]

In places with cold winters, space heating systems have a fundamental role in buildings. Without them, indoor temperatures would quickly become unsuitable for human occupancy. The local weather is one of the most important factors when designing a heating system; if two identical buildings are developed in Miami FL and New York City, the heating load will be much higher for the NYC property.
