What is the federal E-Rate program?

Annette [7]

Answer:

c. A program that offers discounts to libraries and schools ensuring they have affordable access to modern telecommunications and information services.

Explanation:

Federal E-Rate program refers to the Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund managed by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and being directed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The program offers telecommunications and internet access to schools and libraries in the United States at discounts of between 20% and 90% in order to make the services affordable to them.

The discounts received by each of he beneficiary schools receive which is between the rage of 20% and 90% is determined by the degree of poverty and the urban/rural status of the population or students being served.

In the program, connectivity and maintenance services are provided by the Schools and Libraries Program, while school that applied to the program has to provide other items like software, hardware (e.g. computers), and among other items that will make then to use the connectivity provided.

I wish you the best.

A commuter train traveling at 50 mi/h is 3 mi from a station. The train then decelerates so that its speed is 15 mi/h when it is

jonny [76]

Answer:

a) $t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$ , b) $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ , c) $a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

a) The deceleration experimented by the commuter train in the first 2.5 miles is:

$a=\frac{[(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}-[(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}}{2\cdot (2.5\,mi)\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )}$

$a = -0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

The time required to travel is:

$t = \frac{(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{-0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$

b) The commuter train must stop when it reaches the station to receive passengers. Hence, speed of train must be $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ .

c) The final constant deceleration is:

$a = \frac{(0\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{(2.875\,min)\cdot (\frac{60\,s}{1\,min} )}$

$a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

The Ethernet (CSMA/CD) alternates between contention intervals and successful transmissions. Assume a 100 Mbps Ethernet over 1 k

Vesnalui [34]

<h3><u>CSMA/CD Protocol: </u></h3>

Carrier sensing can transmit the data at anytime only the condition is before sending the data sense carrier if the carrier is free then send the data.

But the problem is the standing at one end of channel, we can’t send the entire carrier. Because of this 2 stations can transmit the data (use the channel) at the same time resulting in collisions.

There are no acknowledgement to detect collisions, It's stations responsibility to detect whether its data is falling into collisions or not.

<u>Example: </u>

$T_{P}=1 H r$ , at time t = 10.00 AM, A starts, 10:59:59 AM B starts at time 11:00 AM collision starts.

12:00 AM A will see collisions

Pocket Size to detect the collision.

$\begin{aligned}&T_{t} \geq 2 T_{P}\\&\frac{L}{B} \geq 2 T_{P}\\&L \geq 2 \times T_{P} \times B\end{aligned}$

CSMA/CD is widely used in Ethernet.

<u>Efficiency of CSMA/CD:</u>

In the previous example we have seen that in worst case $2 T_{P}$ time require to detect a collision.

There could be many collisions may happen before a successful completion of transmission of a packet.

We are given number of collisions (contentions slots)=4.

$\text { Propagation day }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {speed}}$

Distance = 1km = 1000m

$\begin{aligned}&\text { Speed }=2 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{sec}\\ &T_{P}=\frac{1000}{2 \times 10^{8}}=(0.5) \times 10^{-5}=5 \times 10^{-6}\\ &T_{t}=5 \mu \mathrm{sec}\end{aligned}$

At an impaired driver checkpoint, the time required to conduct the impairment test varies (according to an exponential distribut

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Average time required = 60 seconds

Therefore,

The maximum capacity that can be accommodated on the system, μ = 60 veh/hr

Average Arrival rate, λ = 30 vehicles per hour

Now,

The average time spent by the vehicle is given as

⇒ $\frac{1}{\mu(1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu})}$

thus,

on substituting the respective values, we get

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{60(1-\frac{30}{60})}$

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{60(1-0.5)}$

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{60(0.5)}$

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{30}$ hr/veh

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{30}\times60$ min/veh

[ 1 hour = 60 minutes]

thus,

Average time spent by the vehicle = 2 min/veh

Hence,

Option (d) 2 min/veh

For a certain gas, Cp = 840.4 J/kg-K; and Cv = 651.5 J/kg-K. How fast will sound travel in this gas if it is at an adiabatic sta

Crank

Answer:

The speed of the sound for the adiabatic gas is 313 m/s

Explanation:

For adiabatic state gas, the speed of the sound c is calculated by the following expression:

$c=\sqrt(\gamma*R*T)$

Where R is the gas's particular constant defined in terms of Cp and Cv:

$R=Cp-Cv$

For particular values given:

$R=840.4 \frac{J}{Kg-K}- 651.5 \frac{J}{Kg-K}$

$R=188.9 \frac{J}{Kg-K}$

The gamma undimensional constant is also expressed as a function of Cv and Cp:

$\gamma=Cp/Cv$

$\gamma=840.4 \frac{J}{Kg-K} / 651.5 \frac{J}{Kg-K}$

$\gamma=1.29$

And the variable T is the temperature in Kelvin. Thus for the known temperature:

$c=\sqrt(1.29*188.9 \frac{J}{Kg-K}*377 K)$

$c=\sqrt(91867.73 \frac{J}{Kg})$

The Jules unit can expressing by:

$J=N.m=\frac{Kg.m}{s^2}* m$

$J=\frac{Kg.m^2}{s^2}$

Replacing the new units for the speed of the sound:

$c=\sqrt(91867.73 \frac{Kg.m^2}{Kg.s^2})$

$c=\sqrt(91867.73 \frac{m^2}{s^2})$

$c=313 m/s$
