Carousel conveyors are used for storage and order picking for small parts. The conveyorsrotate clockwise or counterclockwise, as

necessary, to position storage bins at the storageand retrieval point. The conveyors are closely spaced, such that the operators travel timebetween conveyors is negligible. The conveyor rotation time for each item equals 1 minute;the time required for the operator to retrieve an item after the conveyor stops rotatingequals 0.25 minute. How many carousel conveyors can one operator tend without creatingidle time on the part of the conveyors

Answer:

the number of carousel conveyors that an operator can operate without any idle time is 5

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

first we express the equation for number of carousel conveyors that can be operated by an operator;

n' = \frac{(a + t)}{( a + b)}

where a is the concurrent activity time ( 0.25 minute )

b is the independent operator activity time

t is the independent machine activity time( 1 )

Now independent activity time is zero as the operator is not performing any inspection or packaging tasks.

So time taken for the operator to retrieve the finished item at the end of the process is the concurrent activity and independent machine activity time, the conveyor rotation time of each item

so

we substitute

0.25min for a, 1 for t and 0min for b

n' = \frac{(0.25min + 1min)}{( 0.25min+ 0 min)}

n' = 1.25 min / 0.25

n' - 5

Therefore, the number of carousel conveyors that an operator can operate without any idle time is 5

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)

What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ
Stolb23 [73]
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force


These are types of individual forces



Applied Force
Gravitational Force
Normal Force
Frictional Force
Air Resistance Force
Tensional Force

A piece of wood on top of an ocean wave stays in the same location, only moving up and down as the wave passes. It is energy tha
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Hey

Yes, this is true.

As some people have it wrong, waves in the water (ocean) are not waves of moving water, rather the wave is moving through the water. A wave is a disturbance of a medium not the meduim moving.

If the mass of an object stays the same and you apply more force what will happen to the objects motion
vovikov84 [41]

it will move the object if you apply force, because of that it will stay the same with newton's law.
