A commuter train traveling at 50 mi/h is 3 mi from a station. The train then decelerates so that its speed is 15 mi/h when it is

jonny [76]

Answer:

a) $t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$ , b) $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ , c) $a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

a) The deceleration experimented by the commuter train in the first 2.5 miles is:

$a=\frac{[(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}-[(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}}{2\cdot (2.5\,mi)\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )}$

$a = -0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

The time required to travel is:

$t = \frac{(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{-0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$

b) The commuter train must stop when it reaches the station to receive passengers. Hence, speed of train must be $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ .

c) The final constant deceleration is:

$a = \frac{(0\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{(2.875\,min)\cdot (\frac{60\,s}{1\,min} )}$

$a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

Hidden lines

Used to describe the in shown lines (like diagonals inside cubes)

Extension lines:-

Used to explain the expansion of structures like building

A thin-walled tube with a diameter of 6 mm and length of 20 m is used to carry exhaust gas from a smoke stack to the laboratory

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mean temperature is given by

$T_mean = \frac{T_i + T_ \infinity}{2}\\\\T_mean = \frac{200 + 15}{2}$

Tmean = (Ti + T∞)/2

$T_mean = 107.5^{0}$

Tmean = 107.5⁰C

Tmean = 107.5 + 273 = 380.5K

Properties of air at mean temperature

v = 24.2689 × 10⁻⁶m²/s

α = 35.024 × 10⁻⁶m²/s

$\mu$ = 221.6 × 10⁻⁷N.s/m²

$\kappa$ = 0.0323 W/m.K

Cp = 1012 J/kg.K

Pr = v/α = 24.2689 × 10⁻⁶/35.024 × 10⁻⁶

= 0.693

Reynold's number, Re

Pv = 4m/πD²

where Re = (Pv * D)/ $\mu$

Substituting for Pv

Re = 4m/(πD $\mu$ )

= (4 x 0.003)/( π × 6 ×10⁻³ × 221.6 × 10⁻⁷)

= 28728.3

Since Re > 2000, the flow is turbulent

For turbulent flows, Use

Dittus - Doeltr correlation with n = 0.03

Nu = 0.023Re⁰⁸Pr⁰³ = (h₁D)/k

(h₁ × 0.006)/0.0323 = 0.023(28728.3)⁰⁸(0.693)⁰³

(h₁ × 0.006)/0.0323 = 75.962

h₁ = (75.962 × 0.0323)/0.006

h₁ = 408.93 W/m².K

"A communication between two devices is over the maximum limit of an ethernet frame size. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP

Sliva [168]

COmmunication Devices

Explanation:

TCP/IP, or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet. TCP/IP can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (an intranet or an extranet).

The sequence number in a header is used to keep track of which segment out of many this particular segment might be. The next field, the acknowledgment number, is a lot like the sequence number. The acknowledgment number is the number of the next expected segment.

The 32 bit sequence number field defines the number assigned to the first byte of data contained in this segment. TCP is a stream transport protocol. To ensure connectivity, each byte to be transmitted is numbered.

Identify and describe the three stages of a life cycle analysis.

sesenic [268]

The LCA process is a systematic, phased approach and consists of four components: goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. The standards are provided by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in ISO 14040 and 14044, and describe the four main phases of an LCA: Goal and scope definition. Inventory analysis. Impact assessment.

Hope this is helpful
