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).

A bus travels the 100 miles between A and B at 50 mi/h and then another 100 miles between B and C at 70 mi/h.

stira [4]

Answer:

c. less than 60 mi/h

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the bus, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the bus, as well as the total time of travel of the bus.

Total Distance Traveled = S = 100 mi + 100 mi

S = 200 mi

Now, for total time, we calculate the times for both speeds from A to b and then B to C, separately and add them.

Total Time = t = Time from A to B + Time from B to C

t = (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) + (100 mi)(70 mi/h)

t = 2 h + 1.43 h

t = 3.43 h

Now, the average speed of bus will be given as:

Average Speed = V = S/t

V = 200 mi/3.43 h

It is clear from this answer that the correct option is:

Answer:

Gc(s) = $\frac{0.1s + 0.28727}{s}$

Explanation:

comparing the standard approximation with the plot attached we can tune the PI gains so that the desired response is obtained. this is because the time requirement of the setting is met while the %OS requirement is not achieved instead a 12% OS is seen from the plot.

When you learned about the Highway Transportation system you learned about 6 different types of people as

Musya8 [376]

Answer: 3 different types of people using Highway Transportation system are :

1. Pedestrians - should be given priority while driving.

2. Cyclists - should be given enough space on road.

3. Motorcyclists- should be given enough space on road.

Explanation:

1. Pedestrians - Most of pedestrians use to walk on the footpath along side road that keeps them on a safe side. But there are places without footpath along side road, in that case they have to walk on the road itself. Here, we need to take care for them. We need to wait in case they are crossing road and also check for them while taking a turn.

2. Cyclists - They travel on road but are tough to figure out. They travel at a slower pace compared to cars. To avoid any accident with them, we are supposed to give them enough space which should be equivalent to a car's space.

3. Motorcyclists - They can pass by very closely and also come between lanes. Most of the things to be considered here are same as that of cyclists. Here also, we need to check for them carefully while taking a turn. Also, need to give them enough space.

How would you describe what would happen to methane if the primary bonds were to break?

erastova [34]

Answer:

All the bonds in methane (CH4CH4) are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of the dissociation is methyl radical (CH3CH3). All the bonds in methyl radical are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of that dissociation is methylene (CH2CH2). All the bonds in methylene are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of that dissociation is methyne (CHCH) .

The C-H bonds in methane do not have the same dissociation energy as C-H bonds in methyl radical, which in turn do not have the same dissociation energy as the C-H bonds in methylene, which are again different from the C-H bond in methyne.

If (by some miracle) you were able to get all four bonds in methane to dissociate absolutely simultaneously, they would all show the same dissociation energy… but that energy, per bond broken, would be different than the energy required to break just one C-H bond in methane, because the products are different.

(In this case, it’s CH4→C+4HCH4→C+4H versus CH4→CH3+HCH4→CH3+H.)

To alter hydrocarbons you add enough energy to break a C-H bond. Why does only one bond break? What concentrates the energy on one C-H bond?

the weakest CH bond is the one that breaks. in plain alkanes it has to do with the molecular orbital interactions between neighboring carbon atoms. look at propane for example. the middle carbon has two C-C bonds, and each of those C-C bonds is strengthened by slight electron delocalization from the C-H bonds overlapping with the antibonding orbitals of the adjacent carbons.

since the C-H bonds on the middle carbon donate electron density to both of its neighbors, those two are weakest.

one of them will break preferentially.

which one actually breaks depends on the reaction conditions (kinetics). frankly it's whichever one ramdomly approaches a nucleophile first. when the nucleophile pulls of one of the H's, the other C-H bonds start to share (delocalize) the negative charge across the whole molecule. so while the middle C feels the majority of the negative charge character, the other two C's take on a fair amount as well...

by the way, alkanes don't really like to break and form anions like that.

a better example would be something like isopropyl iodide, where the C-I bond breaks and the I carries away the electron pair, forming a carbocation (also not particularly stable, but more so than the carbanion).
