Answer:

The golfer is at greater risk.

Explanation:

The golfer is holding a metal club. Metal is a good conductor for electricity (lightning), meaning electrons can pass through easily. Her caddy is at lesser risk because she is holding a plastic handled umbrella. Plastic is an insulator, which does not easily allow the movement of electrons to pass.

What is the connection between the air fuel ratio and an engine running rich/poor? please give clear examples and full sentances
gavmur [86]

Explanation:

Air fuel ratio:

 Air fuel ratio is the ratio of mass of air to the mass of fuel.So we can say that

Air\ fuel\ ratio=\dfrac{mass\ of\ air}{mass\ of\ fuel}

As we know that fuel burn in the presence of air that is why we have to maintain a proper amount of air fuel ratio.

When we need more power then we have supply more fuel and to burn this fuel ,require a specified amount of air.So for different loading condition of engine different air fuel ratio is required.

When air is less and fuel is more then it is called rich air fuel ratio .when air is more and fuel is less then it is called poor air fuel ratio.

At an impaired driver checkpoint, the time required to conduct the impairment test varies (according to an exponential distribut
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Average time required = 60 seconds

Therefore,

The maximum capacity that can be accommodated on the system, μ = 60 veh/hr

Average Arrival rate, λ = 30 vehicles per hour

Now,

The average time spent by the vehicle is given as

⇒ \frac{1}{\mu(1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu})}

thus,

on substituting the respective values, we get

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-\frac{30}{60})}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30} hr/veh

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30}\times60 min/veh

[ 1 hour = 60 minutes]

thus,

Average time spent by the vehicle = 2 min/veh

Hence,

Option (d) 2 min/veh

What is a combination circuit? A combination circuit:
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Combination circuit; The basic strategy for the analysis of combination circuits involves using the meaning of equivalent resistance for parallel branches to transform the combination circuit into a series circuit.

Example:

The use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuit.

A cylindrical metal specimen having an original diameter of 12.8 mm and gauge length of 50.80 mm is pulled in tension until frac
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

%Reduction in area = 73.41%

%Reduction in elongation = 42.20%

Explanation:

Given

Original diameter = 12.8 mm

Gauge length = 50.80mm

Diameter at the point of fracture = 6.60 mm (0.260 in.)

Fractured gauge length = 72.14 mm.

%Reduction in Area is given as:

((do/2)² - (d1/2)²)/(do/2)²

Calculating percent reduction in area

do = 12.8mm, d1 = 6.6mm

So,

%RA = ((12.8/2)² - 6.6/2)²)/(12.8/2)²

%RA = 0.734130859375

%RA = 73.41%

Calculating percent reduction in elongation

%Reduction in elongation is given as:

((do) - (d1))/(d1)

do = 72.14mm, d1 = 50.80mm

So,

%RA = ((72.24) - (50.80))/(50.80)

%RA = 0.422047244094488

%RA = 42.20%
