6 0

Answer:

Yes there are different kinds of can openers

Explanation:

Its mainly due to the way it have to be opened. Depending on the mechanism used to cut into the can, the openers are categorized into different types. However, each of these openers have a sharp object that helps cut into the lid of the can, thus, ripping it apart.

Explain what a margin of safety is in driving as well as how it can help minimize risk.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant

Explanation:

A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down

Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way

1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication

2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted

3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system

4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc

5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle

Steam at 4 MPa and 350°C is expanded in an adiabatic turbine to 125kPa. What is the isentropic efficiency (percent) of this turb
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%

Explanation:

First, we will find actual properties at given inlet and outlet states by the use of steam tables:

AT INLET:

At 4MPa and 350°C, from the superheated table:

h₁ = 3093.3 KJ/kg

s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K

AT OUTLET:

At P₂ = 125 KPa and steam is saturated in  vapor state:

h₂ = h_{g\ at\ 125KPa} = 2684.9 KJ/kg

Now, for the isentropic enthalpy, we have:

P₂ = 125 KPa and s₂ = s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K

Since s₂ is less than s_g and greater than s_f at 125 KPa. Therefore, the steam is in a saturated mixture state. So:

x = \frac{s_2-s_f}{s_{fg}} \\\\x = \frac{6.5843\ KJ/kg.K - 1.3741\ KJ/kg.K}{5.91\ KJ/kg.K}\\\\x = 0.88

Now, we will find h_{2s}(enthalpy at the outlet for the isentropic process):

h_{2s} = h_{f\ at\ 125KPa}+xh_{fg\ at\ 125KPa}\\\\h_{2s} = 444.36\ KJ/kg + (0.88)(2240.6\ KJ/kg)\\h_{2s} = 2416.088\ KJ/kg

Now, the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can be given as follows:

\eta_{turbine} = \frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2684.9\ KJ/kg}{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2416.088\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{408.4\ KJ/kg}{677.212\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%

A sum of $500,000 will be invested by a firm two years from now. If money is worth 12%, what will be the worth of this investmen
notka56 [123]

Answer:

investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .

Explanation:

given data

sum = $500,000

rate = 12% =0.12

total time = 10 year

solution

as present value After 2 years from now is $500,000

so time period is now = 8 year  ( 10 - 2 )

so we apply future value formula that is

Future value  = present value × (1+r)^{t}   ............1

put here value we get

Future value  = $500,000 × (1+0.12)^{8}  

Future value  = $500,000 × 2.476

Future value  = $1,238,000  

so investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .
