I need a detailed solution for the multi part question

A motorist enters a freeway at 25 mi/h and accelerates uniformly to 65 mi/h. From the odometer in the car, the motorist knows th

Helga [31]

Answer:

a) 2.2 m/s² b) 8 s

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the acceleration is constant, we can use any of the kinematic equations to solve the question.

As we don´t know the time needed to accelerate, we can use the following equation:

vf2 – vo2 = 2*a*∆x

At first, we can convert the values of vf, vo and ∆x, to SI units, as follows:

vf = 65 mi/h* (1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 29 m/s

vo = 25 mi/h *(1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 11.2 m/s

∆x = 0.1 mi*(1,605 m / 1mi) = 160.5 m

Replacing these values in (1), and solving for a, we have:

a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 321 m = 2.2 m/s2

b) In order to obtain the time needed to reach to 65 mi/h, we can rearrange the equation for the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vf = vo + at

Replacing by the values already known for vo, vf and a, and solving for t, we get:

t = vf-vo /a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 2.2 m/s = 8 sec

Match the military operation to the category of satellite that would perform it.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

1. Location of enemy ground troops - EARTH OBSERVING.

Using earth observing satellite imagery, the military can observe vast expanses of land and in so doing, find the location of enemy ground troops.

2. Routine reconnaissance of an unfamiliar climate - WEATHER

In other to find out more about the climate of an area, a weather satellite can be used to observe the areas and its changing weather patterns.

3. Analyze waterways in an unfamiliar location - NAVIGATION

Using navigation satellites, navigation conduits such as roads and waterways can be observed.

4. Provide warning of an attack - COMMUNICATION.

Communications satellites enable people to communicate over great distances and so can be used by the military to warn of an impending attack.

g A steel water pipe has an inner diameter of 12 in. and a wall thickness of 0.25 in. Determine the longitudinal and hoop stress

zvonat [6]

Answer:

a) $\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}$

$\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 0}$

b) $\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}$

$\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}$

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter d = 12 in

thickness t = 0.25 in

the radius = d/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 in

r/t = 6/0.25 = 24

24 > 10

Using the thin wall cylinder formula;

The valve A is opened and the flowing water has a pressure P of 200 psi.

So;

$\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = 0$

$\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{200(12)}{2(0.25)}$

$\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}$

b)The valve A is closed and the water pressure P is 250 psi.

where P = 250 psi

$\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

$\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{250*(12)}{2(0.25)}$

$\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}$

$\sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t} \\ \\ \sigma _2 = \frac{250(12)}{4(0.25)}$

$\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}$

What 2 forces move the secondary piston ahead?

jekas [21]

Answer:

The primary piston activates one of the two subsystems. The hydraulic pressure created, and the force of the primary piston spring, moves the secondary piston forward.
