Answer:

the state of the circuit is a function of the voltage level. The interpretation is up to the user.

Explanation:

A binary digital circuit adopts one of two states, depending on whether the voltage level is above or below some threshold that depends on the design of the circuit. Within each state, the voltage may have some typical range. When the voltage is near the threshold, the state of the circuit may actually be "indeterminate".

The internal/output voltage is a function of the state of the circuit. The interpretation of that voltage as a true/false or 1/0 or other meaning is up to the user of the circuit.

The circuit interprets a given input voltage as intending to convey a particular input signal state according to the circuit specifications. Input voltages near the threshold between states may cause unexpected or even destructive results.

In order to conserve space, some digital circuits use more than 2 different voltage levels to signify more than 2 different states.

A homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time. Determine the average cost per k

Llana [10]

Answer:

16.2 cents

Explanation:

Given that a homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time.

Where Base monthly charge of $10.00. First 100 kWh per month at 16 cents/kWh. Next 200 kWh per month at 10 cents/kWh. Over 300 kWh per month at 6 cents/kWh.

For the first 100 kWh:

16 cent × 100 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

Since 1 dollar = 100 cents

For the remaining energy:

260 - 100 = 160 kwh

10 cents × 160 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

The total cost = 10 + 16 + 16 = 42 dollars

Note that the base monthly of 10 dollars is added.

The cost of 260 kWh of energy consumption in July is 42 dollars

To determine the average cost per kWh for the month of July, divide the total cost by the total energy consumed.

That is, 42 / 260 = 0.1615 dollars

Convert it to cents by multiplying the result by 100.

0.1615 × 100 = 16.15 cents

Approximately 16.2 cents

A tool chest has 650 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

erica [24]

Answer:

the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Explanation:

The first diagram attached below shows the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is sliding.

Let start out by calculating the friction force

$F_f= \mu N_2$

where :

$F_f =$ friction force

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$N_2$ = normal friction

Given that:

$\mu$ = 0.3

$F_f =$ 0.3 $N_2$

Using the equation of equilibrium along horizontal direction.

$\sum f_x = 0$

P - $F_f =$ 0

P = 0.3 $N_2$ ----- Equation (1)

To determine the moment about point B ; we have the expression

$\sum M_B = 0$

0 = $N_2*70-W*35-P*100$

where;

P = horizontal force

$N_2$ = normal force at support A

W = self- weight of tool chest

Replacing W = 650 N

0 = $N_2*70-650*35-100*P$

$P = \frac{70 N_2-22750}{100} ----- equation (2)$

Replacing $\frac{70 N_2-22750}{100}$ for P in equation (1)

$\frac{70N_2 -22750}{100} =0.3 N_2$

$N_2 = \frac{22750}{40}$ $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$

Plugging the value of $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$ in equation (2)

$P = \frac{70(568.75)-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{39812.5-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{17062.5}{100}$

P =170.625 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

b) From the second diagram attached the free body diagram; the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is tipping about point A is also shown below:

Taking the moments about point A:

$\sum M_A = 0$

-(P × 100)+ (W×35) = 0

P = $\frac{W*35}{100}$

Replacing 650 N for W

$P = \frac{650*35}{100}$

P = 227.5 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P, when the tool chest tipping about point A is 227.5 N

We conclude that the motion will be impending for the lowest value when P = 170.625 N and when P= 227.5 N

However; the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Why is the face of the claw on a claw hammer usually a smooth curve? Why isn't it straight or some other shape?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The face of the claw on the claw hammer is usually a smooth curve so as to improve the ease with which nails are removed when removing nails because as the nail held between the V shaped split claw is being pulled out from the wood, it slides more and more towards cheek, reducing the distance of the nail from the cheek which is the fulcrum, thereby increasing the mechanical advantage because the location of the hand on the grip remains unchanged
