Two hicers are 13 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 2 hours. Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walk

s 1.7 mph faster than the other.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let r be the rate of the slower walker in mph

[r + (r + 1.7)](2) = 13

(2r + 1.7)(2) = 13

4r + 3.4 = 13

4r = 9.6

r = 2.4 mph

r + 1.7 = 4.1 mph

Describe why cars are inefficient machines in terms of thermodynamics.

Alina [70]

Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.

Answer:

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6 to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{534\times( 485g)\times( 10^3mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3) \times (100in^2)\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=37.4mpy

mm/yr

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{87.6\times (485g)\times (10^3 mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3)\times (100in^2)\times(2.54cm/in)^2\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.
