Answer:

Explanation:

Total Stopping distance is the sum of the reaction distance and the braking distance, such that ;

d=dr + db =1.47St +[ ( Si 2- Sf2 ) / 30(F/0.01G) ]

In this case, the reaction time, t, is the AASHTO standard, or 2. 5 s. The friction factor, F, is based upon the standard AASHTO deceleration rate of 11.2 ft/s2 (F = 11.2/32.2 = 0.348) and the speed is given as 40 mph.

d = 1.47x60x2.5+ [ (60^2-40^2) / 30x 0.348 ]

d = 220.5 + ( (3600-1600) / 10.44 )

d = 220.5 + 191.57

d = 412.07ft.

Since the sign can be seen clearly at 120 ft.

Then the position of the sign should be,

= 412.07 - 120

= 292.07 ft

Define a function pyramid_volume with parameters base_length, base_width, and pyramid_height, that returns the volume of a pyram

Maslowich

Hi, you haven't provided the programing language in which you need the code, I'll just explain how to do it using Python, and you can apply a similar method for any programming language.

Answer:

1. def pyramid_volume(base_length, base_width, pyramid_height):

2. volume = base_length*base_width*pyramid_height/3

3. return(volume)

Explanation step by step:

In the first line of code, we define the function pyramid_volume and it's input parameters
In the second line, we perform operations with the input values to get the volume of the pyramid with a rectangular base, the formula is V = l*w*h/3
In the last line of code, we return the volume

In the image below you can see the result of calling the function with input 4.5, 2.1, 3.0.

Pipe Diameter and Reynolds Number. An oil is being pumped inside a 10.0-mm-diameter pipe at a Reynolds number of 2100. The oil d

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The velocity in the pipe is 5.16m/s. The pipe diameter for the second fluid should be 6.6 mm.

Explanation:

Here the first think you have to consider is the definition of the Reynolds number ( $Re$ ) for flows in pipes. Rugly speaking, the Reynolds number is an adimensonal parameter to know if the fliud flow is in laminar or turbulent regime. The equation to calculate this number is:

$Re=\frac{\rho v D}{\mu}$

where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid, $\mu$ is the viscosity, D is the pipe diameter and v is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, we know that Re=2100. So the velocity is:

$v=\frac{Re*\mu}{\rho*D} =\frac{2100*2.1x10^{-2}Pa*s }{855kg/m^3*0.01m} =5.16m/s$

For the second fluid, we want to keep the Re=2100 and v=5.16m/s. Therefore, using the equation of Reynolds number the diameter is:

$D=\frac{Re*\mu}{\rho*v} =\frac{2100*1.5x10^{-2}Pa*s}{925kg/m^3*5.16m/s}=6.6 mm$

Convert 850 nm wavelength into frequency, eV, wavenumber, joules and ergs.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Frequency = $3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Wavenumber = $1.1765\times 10^6m^{-1}$

Energy = $2.3365\times 10^{-19}J$

Energy = 1.4579 eV

Energy = $2.3365\times 10^{-12}erg$

Explanation:

As we are given the wavelength = 850 nm

conversion used : $(1nm=10^{-9}m)$

So, wavelength is $850\times 10^{-9}m$

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$Frequency=\frac{c}{Wavelength}$

Where, c is the speed of light having value = $3\times 10^8m/s$

So, Frequency is:

$Frequency=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{850\times 10^{-9}m}$

$Frequency=3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Wavenumber is the reciprocal of wavelength.

So,

$Wavenumber=\frac{1}{Wavelength}=\frac{1}{850\times 10^{-9}m}$

$Wavenumber=1.1765\times 10^6m^{-1}$

Also,

$Energy=h\times frequency$

where, h is Plank's constant having value as $6.62\times 10^{-34}J.s$

So,

$Energy=(6.62\times 10^{-34}J.s)\times (3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1})$

$Energy=2.3365\times 10^{-19}J$

Also,

$1J=6.24\times 10^{18}eV$

So,

$Energy=(2.3365\times 10^{-19})\times (6.24\times 10^{18}eV)$

$Energy=1.4579eV$

Also,

$1J=10^7erg$

So,

$Energy=(2.3365\times 10^{-19})\times 10^7erg$

$Energy=2.3365\times 10^{-12}erg$
