Answer:

The short answer is, for full-mission flight simulators, specifically by NASA, are built with actual hardware and supported by simulation software. These software take into account every possible scenarios that could be adjusted based on the training. As for the hardware, they receive signals from the software on what they should do.

Explanation:

Some technologies involved are (which are also part of the FAA's requirements):

  1. 6 Degrees of Freedom for motion
  2. Visual systems
  3. Realistic acoustics
  4. Visual effects

This also involves a lot of robotics.

On the topic of motion:

One big and important feature is how motion is simulated - which takes a combined effort of both software and hardware to actually simulate how external forces can also affect the body.

It also takes into account the vibration that is experienced during launch.

The 6 degrees of freedom for motion includes:

  1. Up and down
  2. Left and right - sliding motion
  3. Back and forward
  4. Yaw - turning motion
  5. Pitch - look up and down
  6. Roll

For flight simulators, there are several levels and requirements being used in the aviation training industry. But one thing that you need to know is that the hardware and software mostly take into account motion.

On the topic of visual systems:

The pilots or crew should have a visual representation of what the outside world looks like with at least 150 degrees of view.

Realistic acoustics:

During simulations, actual sounds should also be present based on the real-life sounds produced during flight.

Visual effects:

If the pilot pivots to the right, or is about to breach the exosphere, the system's display should also take that into account and show it to the crew. This also includes visual effects for specific motions being done.

And as a bonus:

Just until recently, everything was analog (meaning, with dials, buttons, and levers) for the actual aircraft simulation that the pilots/astronauts are using. Update are now being made in NASA and SpaceX along with other rocket and spacecraft companies to move from analog to digital (with touch screens).

While this is an abridged version, it should help you to understand the complexities of a flight simulator.

Assuming outFile is a file stream object and number is a variable, which statement writes the contents of number to the file ass
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Its outfile<<number.

However, before this we need to write

outfile.open("xyz.txt", ios;;out)

outfile<<number

And this code will do what is required in the question. This is going to write the number's content to the xyz.txt file which is the file associated with the outfile.

And remember this is in C++. And C++ is a imperative oriented programming language. Undoubtedly, Python and R are fully object oriented programming languages.

Explanation:

The answer is self explanatory.

Discuss the core technologies and provide examples of where they exist in society. Discuss how the core technologies are part of
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Part A

The core technologies are the technologies which make other technologies work or perform their desired tasks

Examples of core technologies and where they exist are;

Thermal technology, which is the technology involving the work production, storage, and transfer using heat energy, exists in our refrigerators, heat engine, and boilers

Electronic technology is the technology that involves the control of the flow of electrons in a circuit through rectification and amplification provided by active devices. Electronic technology can be located in a radio receiver, printed circuit boards (PCB), and mobile phone

Fluid technology is the use of fluid to transmit a force, provide mechanical advantage, and generate power. Fluid technologies can be found in brakes, automatic transmission systems, landing gears, servomechanisms, and pneumatic tools such as syringes

Part B

The core technologies are the subsystems within the larger systems that make the larger systems to work

The thermal technology in a refrigerator makes use of the transfer of heat from a cold region, inside the fridge, to region of higher temperature, by the  use of heat exchange and the properties of the coolant when subjected to different amount of compression and expansion

The electronic technologies make it possible to make portable electronic devises such as the mobile phones by the use miniaturized circuit boards that perform several functions and are integrated into a small piece of semiconductor material

Fluid technologies in landing gears provide reliable activation of the undercarriage at all times in almost all conditions such that the landing gears can be activated mechanically without the need for other source of energy

Consider the following scenario below and recommend a solution.
sammy [17]

your account has enabled profile pictures for your users, you can manage all profile pictures for your account. Profile pictures are public and automatically approved when users upload an image in their settings. Using profile pictures can make it easier to see the users in your account and managing them gives you the ability to keep the pictures appropriate.

If Gravatars are enabled for an institution in account settings, and a user has a Gravatar but chooses not to upload a profile picture, the Gravatar will display for the user's profile picture.

If a student views another student's user details in a course and reports a profile picture as inappropriate, you can review those profile pictures and approve, lock, or delete the picture. In the courses, instructors can remove profile pictures completely from a user's details page.
