The advantages that can be associated to

drawings and symbols over written descriptions in engineering design and prototyping process are;

Communicate design ideas as well as technical information to engineers.

Symbols and drawings can be universal which means it is easy to interpret any where by professionals.

An engineering drawing serves as complex dimensional object and symbol use by engineer to communicate.

Drawings and symbols makes it easier to communicate design ideas and technical information to engineers and and how the process will go.

Therefore, drawings and symbols is universal to all engineer unlike written one.

The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a mass unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf and a water content

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Given information

Bulk unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf

Water content of 7.3%,=0.073

Specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.62

Specifications

Dry unit weight is 113 lb/cf

Water content is 6%.

Volume of embankment is 440,000-cy

Borrow material

$Dry_{unit,weight}=\frac {bulk_{unit,weight}}{1+water_{content}}=\frac {107}{1+0.073}= 99.72041 lb/cf$

Embankment

Considering that the volume of embankment is inversely proportional to the dry unit weight

$\frac {V_{embankment}}{V_{borrow}}=\frac {Dry_{borrow}}{Dry_{embankment}}$

Therefore, $V_{borrow}=V_{embankment} *\frac {Dry_{embarkement}}{Dry_{borrow}}$

$V_{borrow}=440,000-cy*\frac {113 lb/cf }{99.72041 lb/cf }= 498594-cy$

Therefore, volume of borrow material is 498594-cy

(b)

The weight of water in embankment is found by multiplying the moisture content and dry unit weight.

Assuming that all the specifications are achieved, weight of water in embankment=0.06*113=6.78 lb/cf

Since $1 yd^{3}= 27 ft^{3}$

The embankment requires water of 6.78*27*440000= 80546400 lb

Borrow materials’ water will also be 0.073*99.72041=7.27959 lb/cf

Borrow material requires water of 7.27959*27*498594=97998120 lb

Extra water between borrow material and embankment=97998120 lb-80546400 lb=17451720 lb

$Unit_{weight}=\frac {17451720}{498594}=35.00186 lb$

1 gallon is approximately $8.35 yd^{3}$ hence

$\frac {35.00186 lb/yd^{3}}{8.35}=4.19184 gallons/yd^{3}$

That's approximately 4.2 gallons

About what thickness of aluminum is needed to stop a beam of (a) 2.5-MeV electrons, (b) 2.5-MeV protons, and (c) 10-MeV alpha pa

Nana76 [90]

The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>Thickness of the aluminum</h3>

The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.

$K.E = \frac{2KZe^2}{r}$

where;

Z is the atomic number of aluminium = 13
e is charge
r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

<h3>For 2.5 MeV electrons</h3>

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{2.5 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

<h3>For 2.5 MeV protons</h3>

Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>

Charge of alpah particle = 2e

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (2 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{10 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE A:</u>

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE B:</u>

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The correct answer is At least two of the stimulants will have different effects on the mean time spent awake.

Explanation:

The null hypothesis exposed leads to consider an alternative hypothesis that differs from the behavior of the 4 stimulants. In this case it is related to the effects on patients, since in practice at least one will present differences compared to the others, influencing the sleep time of consumers.
