A garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The number of gallons, g (y), is proportional to the number of seconds, t (x

), that the water is running. What is the constant of proportionality?

Answer:

0.4 gallons per second

Explanation:

A function shows the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable.

The independent variable (x values) are input variables i.e. they don't depend on other variables while the dependent variable (y values) are output variables i.e. they depend on other variables.

The rate of change or slope or constant of proportionality is the ratio of the dependent variable (y value) to the independent variable (x value).

Given that the garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The dependent variable = g = number of gallons, the independent variable = t = number of seconds.

Constant of proportionality = g / t = 2 / 5 = 0.4 gallons per second

Rzqust [24]

Business cycle and its growth followed by economic contraction the amount of time it takes a business to produce products in the following way.

Explanation:

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (GDP) and other macroeconomic variables.

A business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time.

Economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. The duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length.

FACTORS THAT SHAPE BUSINESS CYCLES

Volatility of Investment Spending

  • Variations in investment spending is one of the important factors in business cycles. Investment spending is considered the most volatile component of the aggregate or total demand (it varies much more from year to year than the largest component of the aggregate demand, the consumption spending), and empirical studies by economists have revealed that the volatility of the investment component is an important factor in explaining business cycles in the United States.

Momentum

Technological Innovations

Variations in Inventories

Fluctuations in Government Spending

Politically Generated Business Cycles

Monetary Policies

Fluctuations in Exports and Imports

<u></u>\ T_{c} has greater effect.

<u>Explanation</u>:

\eta_{\max }=1-\frac{T_{c}}{T_{A}}

T_{c}\\ = Temperature of cold reservoir

T_{H} = Temperature of hot reservoir

when T_{c} is decreased by 't',

$\eta_{\text {incre }}$ = 1-\frac{\left(\tau_{c}-t\right)}{T_{H}}

=n \ + \frac{t}{T_{n}}      -(i)

when {T_{H}} is increased by 'T'

\eta_{i n c}=\frac{n+\frac{t}{T_{H}}}{\left(1+\frac{k}{T_{H}}\right)}-(ii)

\eta_{\text {incre }} \ T_{c}>\eta_{\text {incre }} T_{\text {H }}

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Gc(s) = \frac{0.1s + 0.28727}{s}

Explanation:

comparing the standard approximation with the plot attached we can tune the PI gains so that the desired response is obtained. this is because the time requirement of the setting is met while the %OS requirement is not achieved instead a 12% OS is seen from the plot.

attached is the detailed solution and the plot in Matlab
