Car B is traveling a distance dd ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the br

akes, causing his car to decelerate at ft/s^2. It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 18 ft/s^2.
Required:
Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision.

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the kinematics equation v = v_o + a_ct to determine the velocity of car B.

where;

v_o = initial velocity

a_c = constant deceleration

Assuming the constant deceleration is = -12 ft/s^2

Also, the kinematic equation that relates to the distance with the time is:

S = d + v_ot + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Then:

v_B = 60-12t

The distance traveled by car B in the given time (t) is expressed as:

S_B = d + 60 t - \dfrac{1}{2}(12t^2)

For car A, the needed time (t) to come to rest is:

v_A = 60 - 18(t-0.75)

Also, the distance traveled by car A in the given time (t) is expressed as:

S_A = 60  * 0.75 +60(t-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*(t-0.750)^2

Relating both velocities:

v_B = v_A

60-12t = 60 - 18(t-0.75)

60-12t =73.5 - 18t

60- 73.5 = - 18t+ 12t

-13.5 =-6t

t = 2.25 s

At t = 2.25s, the required minimum distance can be estimated by equating both distances traveled by both cars

i.e.

S_B = S_A

d + 60 t - \dfrac{1}{2}(12t^2) = 60  * 0.75 +60(t-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*(t-0.750)^2

d + 60 (2.25) - \dfrac{1}{2}(12*(2.25)^2) = 60  * 0.75 +60((2.25)-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*((2.25)-0.750)^2

d + 104.625 = 114.75

d = 114.75 - 104.625

d = 10.125 ft

Ammonia contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially saturated vapor at 0o F, undergoes an isothermal process during which
Rudik [331]

ANSWERS:

-P_{2(a)} =15.6lbf/in^2\\-P_{2(b)} =30.146lbf/in^2\\ T_{2(a)} =0^oF\\T_{2(b)} =0^oF\\x_{2(b)} =49.87percent

Explanation:

Given:

Piston cylinder assembly which mean that the process is constant pressure process P=C.

<u>AMMONIA </u>

state(1)

saturated vapor x_{1} =1

The temperature T_{1} =0^0 F

Isothermal process  T=C

a)

-V_{2} =2V_{1} ( double)

b)

-V_{2} =.5V_{2} (reduced by half)

To find the final state by giving the quality in lbf/in we assume the friction is neglected and the system is in equilibrium.

state(1)

using PVT data for saturated ammonia

-P_{1} =30.416 lbf/in^2\\-v_{1} =v_{g} =9.11ft^3/lb

then the state exists in the supper heated region.

a) from standard data

-v_{1(a)} =2v_{1} =18.22ft^3/lb\\-T_{1} =0^oF

at\\P_{x} =14lbf/in^2\\-v_{x} =20.289 ft^3/kg

at\\P_{y} =16 lbf/in^2\\-v_{y} =17.701ft^3/kg

assume linear interpolation

\frac{P_{x}-P_{2(b)}  }{P_{x}- P_{y} } =\frac{v_{x}-v_{1(a)}  }{v_{x}-v_{y}  }

P_{1(b)}=P_{x} -(P_{x} -P_{y} )*\frac{v_{x}- v_{1(b)} }{v_{x}-v_{y}  }\\ \\P_{1(b)} =14-(14-16)*\frac{20.289-18.22}{20.289-17.701} =15.6lbf/in^2

b)

-v_{2(a)} =2v_{1} =4.555ft^3/lb\\v_{g}

from standard data

-v_{f} =0.02419ft^3/kg\\-v_{g} =9.11ft^3/kg\\v_{f}

then the state exist in the wet zone

-P_{s} =30.146lbf/in^2\\v_{2(a)} =v_{f} +x(v_{g} -v_{f} )

x=\frac{v_{2(a)-v_{f} } }{v_{g} -v_{f} } \\x=\frac{4.555-0.02419}{9.11-0.02419} =49.87%

What is the instantaneous center of zero velocity? List two approaches for determining the is the instantaneous center of zero v
Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

Instantaneous center:

   It is the center about a body moves in planer motion.The velocity of Instantaneous center is zero and Instantaneous center can be lie out side or inside the body.About this center every particle of a body rotates.

From the diagram

Where these two lines will cut then it will the I-Center.Point A and B is moving perpendicular to the point I.

If we take three link link1,link2 and link3 then I center of these three link will be in one straight line It means that they will be co-linear.

I_{12},I_{23},I_{31} all\ are\ co-linear.

A formal indication from a state, on letterhead, or an official state form, that shows the applicant has valid driving privilege
alex41 [277]

A formal indication from a state, on letterhead, or an official state form, which shows that an applicant has valid driving privileges and is clear to apply for a Colorado driver's license is called a clearance.

<h3>What is a learner's license?</h3>

A learner's license is also referred to as learner's permit and it can be defined as a category of driver's license that is issued to an individual who is learning how to drive an automobile vehicle (car).

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

A license is also referred to as a certificate and it can be defined as an authorization that is typically issued by state governments to a driver, so as to avail him or her the legal ability to physically driver in all the states across a country.

In this scenario, we can infer and logically deduce that a clearance is a formal indication from a state which shows and affirms that an applicant has valid driving privileges, and is permitted to apply for a Colorado driver's license.
