Answer: Electric current originates from positively charged protons negatively charged electrons of an atom.

Explanation:

The movement of ions (positive or negative) from one point to another is called electric current.

An atom has three sub-atomic particles. These are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged. Protons and neutrons reside inside the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

So, protons and electrons are responsible for originating electric current form an atom as these are the charged particles.

Thus, we can conclude that electric current originates from positively charged protons negatively charged electrons of an atom.

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 90 MPa (13050 psi), and the stress amplitude was 190 MPa (27560 psi).

Gwar [14]

Answer:

a) 280MPa

b) -100MPa

c) -0.35

d) 380 MPa

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mean stress $\sigma_m = 90MPa$

stress amplitude $\sigma_a = 190MPa$

a) $\sigma_m =\frac{\sigma_max+\sigma_min}{2}$

$90 =\frac{\sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}}{2}$ --------------1

$\sigma_a =\frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}$

$190 = \frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}$ -----------2

solving 1 and 2 equation we get

$\sigma_{max} = 280MPa$

b) $\sigma_{min} = - 100MPa$

stress ratio $=\frac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}$

$=\frac{-100}{280} = -0.35$

d)magnitude of stress range

$=(\sigma_{max} -\sigma_{min})$

= 280 -(-100) = 380 MPa

What is need for using fins?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: It is a term of heat transfer process in which fins are surface that are the extension of the object to work for the heat exchangers to increase the heat exchanging rate.

Explanation: Fins are considered to help the heat exchanger surface to lead the process of heat transfer by increasing the are of the surface which is exposed to the surroundings. Fins work really well with materials having high thermal conductivity and will be more effective. They are preferred because they increase the rate of exchange of heat by increment in the convection.
