Summary

Students learn about the variety of materials used by engineers in the design and construction of modern bridges. They also find out about the material properties important to bridge construction and consider the advantages and disadvantages of steel and concrete as common bridge-building materials to handle compressive and tensile forces.

This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Engineering Connection

When designing structures such as bridges, engineers carefully choose the materials by anticipating the forces the materials (the structural components) are expected to experience during their lifetimes. Usually, ductile materials such as steel, aluminum and other metals are used for components that experience tensile loads. Brittle materials such as concrete, ceramics and glass are used for components that experience compressive loads.

Learning Objectives

After this lesson, students should be able to:

List several common materials used the design and construction of structures.

Describe several factors that engineers consider when selecting materials for the design of a bridge.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of common materials used in engineering structures (steel and concrete).

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The code is attached.

Explanation:

I created a string s including 6 colors with spaces in between. Then I converted the string into a list x by using split() method. I used three different methods for removing elements from the list. These methods are remove(), pop() and del.

$\\$ Then I used methods append(), insert() and extend() for adding elements to the list.

$\\$ Finally I converted list into a string using join() and adding space in between the elements of the list.

An 1800-W toaster, a 1400-W electric frying pan, and a 75-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15-A, 120-V circuit. The

Mila [183]

Answer:

a) Current drawn by the toaster = 15A

Current drawn by the electric frying pan = 11.67A

Current drawn by the lamp = 0.625A

b) This combination will blow the 15A fuse as the total current requirement for this setup exceeds the 15A rating of the fuse.

Explanation:

a) For parallel connection, there exists, the same voltage and different currents across all the devices.

Voltage cross each of the 3 devices = outlet voltage of 120V

From their respective power rating, current drawn by each device will be calculated.

P = IV

For the toaster, P = 1800 W, V = 120V

I = 1800/120 = 15A

For the electric frying pan, P = 1400 W, V = 120 V

I = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

For the lamp, P = 75 W, V = 120V

I = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b) Total current in a parallel connection setup = Sum total of all the currents.

Total current drawn by all 3 devices = 15 + 11.67 + 0.625 = 27.295A = 27.3 A

This total current requirement surpasses the 15A current rating of the fuse, therefore, this combination will blow the fuse.

Hope this Helps!!!

Complete function PrintPopcornTime(), with int parameter bagOunces, and void return type. If bagOunces is less than 3, print "To

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void PrintPopcornTime(int bagOunces) {

if(bagOunces < 3){

cout << "Too small";

cout << endl;

}

else if(bagOunces > 10){

cout << "Too large";

cout << endl;

}

else{

cout << (6 * bagOunces) << " seconds" << endl;

}

int main() {

PrintPopcornTime(7);

return 0;

}

Explanation:

Using C++ to write the program. In line 1 we define the header "#include <iostream>" that defines the standard input/output stream objects. In line 2 "using namespace std" gives me the ability to use classes or functions, From lines 5 to 17 we define the function "PrintPopcornTime(), with int parameter bagOunces" Line 19 we can then call the function using 7 as the argument "PrintPopcornTime(7);" to get the expected output.
