Four race cars are traveling on a 2.5-mile tri-oval track. The four cars are traveling at constant speeds of 195 mi/h, 190 mi/h,

185 mi/h, and 180 mi/h, respectively. Assume that you are an observer standing at a point on the track for a period of 30 minutes and are recording the instantaneous speed of each vehicle as it crosses your point.
What are the time-mean speed and space-mean speed for these vehicles for this time period?

Answer:

Explanation:

1) The number of times, the car with the speed of  195 mph will cross the given point is equal to 30 minutes divided by the time taken by car to cross the 2.5 miles.

0 .5*195/2.5 = 39

Likewise, the car with the speed of 190 mph crosses the point 38 times; the car with the speed of 185 mph crosses the point 37 times

and car with the speed of 180 mph crosses it 36 times

here, the time-mean speed, vt is given below,

vt = (39*195 +38*190+37*185+36*180)/(39+38+37+38)

= 186.433 mph

and space mean speed is given by,

= (39+38+37+36)/(39/195+38/190+37/1850+36/180)

1) The number of times, the car with the speed of  195 mph will cross the given point is equal to 30 minutes divided by the time taken by car to cross the 2.5 miles.

0 .5*195/2.5 = 39

Likewise, the car with the speed of 190 mph crosses the point 38 times; the car with the speed of 185 mph crosses the point 37 times

and car with the speed of 180 mph crosses it 36 times

here, the time-mean speed, vt is given below,

vt = (39*195 +38*190+37*185+36*180)/(39+38+37+38)

= 186.433 mph

and space mean speed is given by,

= (39+38+37+36)/(39/195+38/190+37/1850+36/180)

=187.5 mph

2)  There would be only four number of observations when the aerial photo is given, therefore time mean speed, vt in that condition will be calculated as

Vt = 195+190+185+180/4

  = 187.5

Vs= 4/(1/195+1/190+1/185+1/180)

= 188.36 mph

2)  There would be only four number of observations when the aerial photo is given, therefore time mean speed, vt, in that condition will be calculated as

Vt = 195+190+185+180/4

  = 187.5

Vs= 4/(1/195+1/190+1/185+1/180)

= 188.36 mph

In order to fill a tank of 1000 liter volume to a pressure of 10 atm at 298K, an 11.5Kg of the gas is required. How many moles o
lesya [120]

Answer:

The molecular weight will be "28.12 g/mol".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Pressure,

P = 10 atm

  = 10\times 101325 \ Pa

  = 1013250 \ Pa

Temperature,

T = 298 K

Mass,

m = 11.5 Kg

Volume,

V = 1000 r

   = 1 \ m^3

R = 8.3145 J/mol K

Now,

By using the ideal gas law, we get

⇒ PV=nRT

o,

⇒ n=\frac{PV}{RT}

By substituting the values, we get

       =\frac{1013250\times 1}{8.3145\times 298}

       =408.94 \ moles

As we know,

⇒ Moles(n)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molecular \ weight(MW)}

or,

⇒        MW=\frac{m}{n}

                   =\frac{11.5}{408.94}

                   =0.02812 \ Kg/mol

                   =28.12 \ g/mol

An equal-tangent sag vertical curve (with a negative initial and a positive final grade) is designed for 55 mi/h. The PVI is at
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

Explanation:

Length of curve is given as

L=2(PVT-PVI)\\L=2(242+30-240+00)\\L=2(230)\\L=460 ft

G_2 is given as

G_2=\frac{E_{PVT}-E_{PVI}}{0.5L}\\G_2=\frac{127.5-122}{0.5*460}\\G_2=0.025=2.5 \%

The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as

A=\frac{L}{K}\\A=\frac{460}{115}\\A=4

A is given as

-G_1=A-G_2\\-G_1=4.0-2.5\\-G_1=1.5\\G_1=-1.5\%

With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is

E_{PVC}=E_{PVI}+G_1(L/2)\\E_{PVC}=122+1.5%(460/2)\\E_{PVC}=125.45 ft\\

The station is given as

St_{PVC}=St_{PVI}-(L/2)\\St_{PVC}=24000-(230)\\St_{PVC}=237+70\\

Low point is given as

x=K \times |G_1|\\x=115 \times 1.5\\x=172.5 ft

The station of low point is given as

St_{low}=St_{PVC}-(x)\\St_{low}=23770+(172.5)\\St_{low}=239+42.5 ft\\

The elevation is given as

E_{low}=\frac{G_2-G_1}{2L} x^2+G_1x+E_{PVC}\\E_{low}=\frac{2.5-(-1.5)}{2*460} (1.72)^2+(-1.5)*(1.72)+125.45\\E_{low}=124.16 ft

So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
