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

The less surface area of gasoline exposed to the air, the faster a given amount will burn. True of False
romanna [79]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

it depends on how fast the car goes because the gas burns faster or slower depending on the speed you go or drive. if your drive 50 MPH, the gas will burn slowly. if your drive 45 MPH, the gas will burn faster if you go slow too much. if you press the glass button and hold it for 5 minutes, the more you hold the gas for too long, the more the gas will burn inside the gas engine. go look at your car or your parents car and see how it goes and that will help.

One kilogram of "as received" yard trimmings is made up of approximately 620 g moisture, 330 g of decomposable organic matter (r
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Given that 620g moisture and 330g decomposable organic matter in yard trimming is represented by C₁₂.₇₆H₂₁.₂₈O₉.₂₆N₀.₅₄

Given the atomic mass of Carbon C = 12, Hydrogen H = 1, Oxygen O = 16 and Nitrogen N = 14

1 mole of trimming = 12*12.76 + 1*21.28 + 16*9.26 + 14*0.54

=  153.12 + 21.28 + 148.16 + 7.56

= 330.12 g/mol

which means 1 kg of as received trimming has 330 g of decomposable that produce 1 mole of decomposable

The moles of methane produced will be given as

m = (4a + b -2c - 3d)/8

= (4*12.76 + 21.28 - 2*9.26 - 3*0.54)/8

= (51.04 + 21.28 - 18.52 - 1.62)/8

= 52.18/8

= 6.5225

(b) Volume of methane V is given as

V = (0.0224 m³ CH₄mol/CH₄) × (6.5225 mol CH₄/ kg)

= 0.1461 m³ CH₄/kg lawn trimmings

(c) Energy will be given as

CH₄Energy = 6.5225 mol of CH₄/kg × 890 kJ/mol

= 5805.025

≈ 5805 kJ/kg

For the given network, if R = 0.8 [Ω], the natural response of i in(t) is:
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Iin(t) =1.3 × (-0.8/1.56) e^-t/1.56 A

Explanation:

In physics, the determination of the term " natural response" simply means that we want to know what happens in a circuit when the value of t = 0, that is to say after the circuit has been disconnected. Hence, the value of the voltage and the current can then be determined or Calculated;

For the the natural response of i in(t) we will be using the formula below;

I(t) = Vo × t/ R = Vo/R × e^-t/h.

Where h = 1/RC = time constant.

For t= 0^- = 0.8 × 1= 0.8 V.

1/Ctotal = 1/ 2 + 1/3 = 6/5

For t = 0^+;

h =( 0.8 + 0.5) × 6/5 = 1.56 seconds.

Hence, we will have;

Vin(t) = 0.8 × e^-t/1.56.

Iin(t) =1.3 × (-0.8/1.56) e^-t/1.56
