Two routes connect an origin and a destination. Routes 1 and 2 have performance functions t1 = 2 + X1 and t2 = 1 + X2, where the

t's are in minutes and the x's are in thousands of vehicles per hour. The travel times on the routes are known to be in user equilibrium. If an observation for route 1 finds that the gaps between 30% of the vehicles are less than 6 seconds. Estimate the volume and average travel times for the two routes

Solution :

Given

$t_1=2+x_1$

$t_2=1+x_2$

Now,

$$P(h$

$0.4=1-P(h \geq5)$

$0.6=P(h \geq5)$

$0.6= e^{\frac{-x_1 5}{3600}}$

Therefore, $x_1=368 \ veh/h$

$=\frac{368}{1000} = 0.368$

Given, $t_1=2+x_1$

= 2 + 0.368

= 2.368 min

At user equilibrium, $t_2=t_1$

∴ $t_2$ = 2.368 min

$t_2=1+x_2$

$2.368=1+x_2$

$x_2 = 1.368$

$x_2 = 1.368 \times 1000$

= 1368 veh/h

Coulomb's Law Two point charges experience an attractive force of 10.8 N when they are separated by 2.4 m. VWhat force in newton

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The force between the charges when the separation decreases to 0.7 meters equals 126.955 Newtons

Explanation:

We know that for two point charges of magnitude $q_{1},q_{2}$ the magnitude of force between them is given by

$F=\frac{k_{e}q_{1}\cdot q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

where

$k_{e}$ is constant

$r$ is the separation between the charges

Initially when the charges are separated by 2.4 meters the force can be calculated as

$F_{1}=\frac{k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}}{2.4^{2}}\\\\10.8=\frac{k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}}{2.4^{2}}\\\\\therefore k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}=10.8\times 2.4^{2}=62.208$

Now when the separation is reduced to 0.7 meters the force is similarly calculated as

$F_{2}=\frac{k_{e}\cdot q_{1}q_{2}}{0.7^{2}}$

Applying value of the constant we get

$F_{1}=\frac{62.208}{0.7^{2}}$

Thus $F_{2}=126.955Newtons$

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy K in a uniform electric field. The electron comes to rest momentarily after

V125BC [204]

Answer:

a) E = $\frac{K}{e*d}$ b) i.

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the electron, as the field is pushing the electron back till it comes to rest momentarily, applying the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy, must be equal to the work done by the field on the electron.

The force that does work on the electron is the one due to the electric field E, and by definition of electric field, can be expressed as follows:

W = q*E = -e*E (1)

This work must be equal to the change in Kinetic Energy:

ΔK = Kf -K₀ = 0 - K = -K (2)

From (1) and (2), and solving for E, we have:

E = $\frac{K}{e*d}$

b) As the electric field (by convention) has the direction that it would have a positive test charge, the electrons (being negative charges),when starting from rest),have the direction opposite to the field.

In this case, as the electron has an initial velocity, and the field is opposing to the electron movement, we conclude that the electric field is in the direction of the electron´s motion, due to the electron slows down, and then comes momentarily to an stop, before changing direction and move opposite to the field as it is its natural behavior.

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1 atm with a specific enthalpy of

Savatey [412]

Answer:

option C

option A

Explanation:

Enthalpy gained by air= 1023-290

= 733 kJ/kg

Rate of energy gain= mass flow rate × Enthalpy gained by air

= 0.1 × 733

= 73.3 kJ/s

rate of heat transfer between compressor and air= 77kW

Heat loss by air to surroundings= 77-73.3

=3.7kW

Enthalpy lost by steam in turbine= 1407.6-1236.4

= 171.2 Btu/lb

Rate of energy transfer to turbine= Enthalpy lost by steam× mass flow rate

= 171.2×5

= 856 Btu/s

Net rate of energy transfer to turbine=rate of Energy transfer to turbine- rate of heat transfer to turbine

= 856-40

= 816 Btu/s

What is the preferred approach to risk mitigation?

maw [93]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Terminate

Explanation:

Termination of the risk is equivalent to elimination of the risk by avoiding the activity that brings about the risk or by using a different process that does not include the risk observed in the previous process option

When the reward far outweigh the risk, it may be decided to terminate or eliminate the risk and miss the reward and also terminate the likelihood of the losses to be incurred.
