An individual is planning to take an 800-mile trip between two large cities. Three pos-sibilities exist: air, rail, or auto. The

person is willing to pay $25 for every hour savedin making the trip. The trip by air costs $600 and travel time is 8 hours, by rail the costis $450 and travel time is 16 hours, and by auto the cost is $200 and travel time is 20 hours.
(a) Which mode is the best choice?
(b) What factors other than cost might influence the decision regarding which mode to use?

Answer:

1. Auto is the best mode since it is the cheapest

2. Safety, reliability, convenience should be considered

Explanation:

1.

This person is willing to pay $25 per hour.

To get the mode, which is the best choice I used this formula

Cost of trip + 25T

T = time or number of hours

By air travel

Cost = $600, T = 8 hours

600+25(8)

= 600+200

= 800 dollars

By rail,

Cost = $450

T = 16 hours

450+25(16)

= 450+400

= 850 dollars

By auto,

Cost = $200

T = 20 hours

200+25(20)

= 200+500

= 700 dollars

From these calculations the cost of Traveling by auto is the cheapest so it is the best mode.

2. Other factors to consider when choosing an alternative mode of transport

A. Safety: this transportation material should be able to get to it's destination without any form of damages happening

B. Reliability: the material should be able to fulfill it's requirements

C. Convenience: in terms of availability per day and also the frequency of traveling time

STatiana [176]

Answer:

  curly brackets are missing

Explanation:

The body of the main() function need to be enclosed in curly brackets. Try this:

int P = 3000;

int main( ) {

  for (int t = 0; t < 10; t++) {

     cout << P;

  }

}

3. If nothing can ever be at absolute zero, why does the concept exist?
Tanzania [10]

The absolute zero in temperature refers to the minimal possible temperature. It is the temperature at which the molecules of a system stop moving, so it is a really useful reference point.

<h3>Why absolute zero can't be reached?</h3>

It would mean that we need to remove all the energy from a system, but to do this we need to interact with the system in some way, and by interacting with it we give it "some" energy.

Actually, from a quantum mechanical point of view, the absolute zero has a residual energy (so it is not actually zero) and it is called the "zero point". This happens because it must meet <u>Heisenberg's uncertainty principle</u>.

So yes, the absolute zero can't be reached, but there are really good approximations (At the moment there is a difference of about 150 nanokelvins between the absolute zero and the smallest temperature reached). Also, there are a lot of investigations near the absolute zero, like people that try to reach it or people that just need to work with really low temperatures, like in type I superconductors.

So, concluding, why does the concept exist?

  • Because it is a reference point.
  • It is the theoretical temperature at which the molecules stop moving, defining this as the <u>minimum possible temperature.</u>

Is it possible to interface an IC with a different technology such as TTL to HCS12 ports? What are the conditions in terms of el
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The condition is true  when their voltage and current specifications with their impedance are matched or complementary to each other.

Explanation:

Solution

Yes it is possible or true to interface an IC with a different technology like the TTL to HCS12 ports. but the condition is that their current and voltage specifications should be matched and their impedance and power also should be matched.

What this implies is that both their voltage and current requirements should be complementary to each other so as their impedance.

1. The construction process begins with which of the following stages?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c) site preparation

Explanation:

A construction process can be defined as a series of important physical events (processes) that must be accomplished during the execution of a construction project.

Generally, in the construction of any physical asset such as offices, hospitals, schools, stadiums etc, the first step of the construction process is site preparation. Site preparation refers to processes such as clearing, blasting, levelling, landfilling, surveying, cutting, excavating and demolition of all unwanted objects on a piece of land, so as to make it ready for use.

This ultimately implies that, site preparation should be the first task to be accomplished in the construction process.

Hence, the construction process typically begins with site preparation before other activities such as the laying of foundation can be done.

Additionally, construction costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the development of a built asset, project or property. The construction costs is classified into two (2) main categories and these are; capital and operational costs.
