What is the most likely reason the rover won't travel in a straight line?

1 answer:

6 0

The rovers were designed to trek up to 100 meters (about 110 yards or 328 feet) across the martian surface each martian day, though they have gone much farther. While a complete martian day (called a sol) is about 24 hours and 40 minutes long (or 24 hours 37.5 minutes if you prefer), the Sun can only provide enough power for driving during a four-hour window around high noon. That means the rovers have to be able to move quickly and effectively.
Moving safely from rock to rock or location to location is a major challenge because of the communication time delay between Earth and Mars, which is about 20 minutes on average. Unlike a remote controlled car, the drivers of rovers on Mars cannot instantly see what is happening to a rover at any given moment and they cannot send quick commands to prevent the rover from running into a rock or falling off of a cliff.
During surface operations on Mars, each rover receives a new set of instructions at the beginning of each sol. Sent from the scientists and engineers on Earth, the command sequence tells the rover what targets to go to and what science experiments to perform on Mars. The rover is expected to move over a given distance, precisely position itself with respect to a target, and deploy its instruments to take close-up pictures and analyze the minerals or elements of rocks and soil.

Military glorification through mosaics, relief carvings and triumphant arches are often associated with roman architectural monument and is the correct choice.

<h3>What is a Monument?</h3>

This can be defined as a structure which is usually large and is used to commemorate the history of an influential person. This helps to serve as an example and also a reminder as to why the performance of good deeds are important

The use of military glorification through mosaics, relief carvings and triumphant arches were also often used by the Romans in other to commemorate war victories and the succession of a new ruler which is known as the emperor.

A dryer is shaped like a long semi-cylindrical duct of diameter 1.5 m. The base of the dryer is occupied with water-soaked mater

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

0.0371 kg/s.m

Explanation:

From the given information, let's have an imaginative view of the semi-cylinder; (The image is shown below)

Assuming the base surface of both ends of the cylinder is denoted by:

$A_1 \ and \ A_2$

Thus, using the summation rule, the view factor $F_{11$ and $F_{12$ is as follows:

$F_{11}+F_{12}=1$

Let assume the surface (1) is flat, the $F_{11} = 0$

Now:

$0+F_{12}=1$

$F_{12}=1$

However, using the reciprocity rule to determine the view factor from the dome-shaped cylinder $A_2$ to the flat base surface $A_1$ ; we have:

$A_2F_{21} = A_{1}F_{12} \\ \\ F_{21} = \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}F_{12}$

Suppose, we replace DL for $A_1$ and

$A_2$ = $\dfrac{\pi D}{2}$

Then:

$F_{21} = \dfrac{DL}{(\dfrac{\pi D}{2}) L} \times 1 \\ \\ =\dfrac{2}{\pi} \\ \\ =0.64$

Now, we need to employ the use of energy balance formula to the dryer.

i.e.

$Q_{21} = Q_{evaporation}$

But, before that; let's find the radian heat exchange occurring among the dome and the flat base surface:

$Q_{21}= F_{21} A_2 \sigma (T_2^4-T_1^4) \\ \\ Q_{21} = F_{21} \times \dfrac{\pi D}{2} \sigma (T_2^4 -T_1^4)$

where;

$\sigma = Stefan \ Boltzmann's \ constant$

$T_1 = base \ temperature$

$T_2 = temperature \ of \ the \ dome$

∴

$Q_{21} = 0.64 \times (\dfrac{\pi}{2}\times 1.5) \times 5.67 \times 10^4 \times (1000^4 -370^4)\\ \\ Q_{21} = 83899.15 \ W/m$

Recall the energy balance formula;

$Q_{21} = Q_{evaporation}$

where;

$Q_{evaporation} = mh_{fg}$

here;

$h_{fg}$ = enthalpy of vaporization

m = the water mass flow rate

∴

$83899.15 = m \times 2257 \times 10^3 \\ \\ m = \dfrac{83899.15}{ 2257 \times 10^3 }\\ \\ \mathbf{m = 0.0371 \ kg/s.m}$

The maximum capacity of a 2-lane carriageway of a four lane dual carriageway is 2000 veh/hour. due to pipe laying operations the

Yuki888 [10]

Based on the maximum capacity as a result of the pipe-laying operations, and the maximum capacity without obstruction to the four-lane dual carriageway, the mean speed of traffic in the bottleneck is -2.73km.

<h3>What is the mean speed of traffic?</h3>

This can be found as:

= (Maximum restricted capacity - freeflowing rate) / (Kb - Ka)

= (1,100 - 1,500) / (209 - 62.5)

= -2.73 km/h

The rate that the queue outside the bottleneck grows is:

= Free flowing rate - (mean speed of traffic x ka)

= 1,500 - (-2.73 x 62.5)

= 1,670 veh/hour
