Answer:

The system's Mean Time to Failure is 1,041.\bar 6 hours

Explanation:

The number of independent identical motors = 4

The failure rate of each motor, λ = 0.002 failures per hour

Given that in order for the system to work, at least one of the motors must operate, therefore, the system are in parallel

The Mean Time to Failure for a parallel system of four identical components is given as follows;

MTTF = \dfrac{1 }{\lambda} \times \left (1 + \dfrac{1}{2} +  \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{4} \right)

Which gives;

MTTF = \dfrac{1 }{0.002} \times \left (1 + \dfrac{1}{2} +  \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{4} \right) = 1,041.\bar 6

The system's Mean Time to Failure = 1,041.\bar 6 hours.

A 1.8 kg uniform rod with a length of 90 cm is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot. It is free to rotate about the pivot
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a. 32.67 rad/s²  b. 29.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod

Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.

So, Iα = WL

mL²α/3 = mgL

dividing through by mL, we have

Lα/3 = g

multiplying both sides by 3, we have

Lα = 3g

dividing both sides by L, we have

α = 3g/L

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 3g/L

= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m

= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²

= 32.67 rad/s²

b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²

A closed, uninsulated system fitted with movable piston, so no matter is exchanged with the surroundings, was assembled. Introdu
xeze [42]

Answer: You do not specify what is being asked for. ∆E? ∆H?

∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

∆H = 430 J

Explanation:

If asked for the value of ∆H the answer is simply the change in heat, and in the question, it states introduction of 430 J of heat is causing the system to expand.

Therefore ∆H = 430 J

If asked for ∆E, we know that ∆E = ±q (heat) + work (-P∆V) = ±q + w

The question states that 238 J of work are done AND the system expanded

(work is negative because expansion means work is done BY the system, releasing energy/heat... Conversely, if the system were compressed, work is done ON the system, absorbing heat/energy)

Therefore, ∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

  • R is resistance,
  • L is length,
  • A is area,
  • ρ is resistivity
  • d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}

\frac{R}{L}   for iron = \frac{R}{L}  for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }

re-arranging the equation we have,

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   }

\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}

The right-hand rule predicts the direction of the force on a positively charged object moving in a gravitational field true fals
eimsori [14]
The statement above is FALSE.
The right hand rule is used in physics to predict the direction of the force on a charged object moving in a MAGNETIC FIELD. The right hand rule is used to relate the relationship between the magnetic field and the forces that are exerted on the moving objects in the field. Using the right hand rule, for a positively charged object that is moving in an electric field, the pointer finger will point in the direction the charged object is moving, the middle finger will point in the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force that is pushing the charged object.
