Joe is a chemical engineer whose plant discharges heavy metals into the local river. By the test authorized by the city governme

nt, the amount of heavy metals is under the legal limit imposed by the city. By a new and more accurate test, the discharge is above the legal limit, that is, the discharge is in violation of environmental rules. Joe argues with his manager that the plant should reduce its discharges to comply with the newer and more accurate test.
The case contains a conceptual issue insofar as:


A.the issue is whether present emission rates constitute a violation of city regulations.


B.the issue is what is meant by “violation.”


C.the issue is how Joe should balance his obligations to his employer against his obligations to city residents.


D.the issue is whether the heavy metals presently emitted by the plant pose a threat to the health of the community.

Answer:

B probably

Explanation:

Because the prompt doesn't specify what sort of violation it could be anything maybe when they release the metals during the day and so on.

I am trying to create a line of code to calculate distance between two points. (distance=[tex]\sqrt{ (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}) My li
k0ka [10]

Answer:

point_dist = math.sqrt((math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) + math.pow(y2 - y1, 2))

Explanation:

The distance formula is the difference of the x coordinates squared, plus the difference of the y coordinates squared, all square rooted.  For the general case, it appears you simply need to change how you have written the code.

point_dist = math.sqrt((math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) + math.pow(y2 - y1, 2))

Note, by moving the 2 inside of the pow function, you have provided the second argument that it is requesting.

You were close with your initial attempt, you just had a parenthesis after x1 and y1 when you should not have.

Cheers.

If welding is being done in the vertical position, the torch should have a travel angle of?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Between 35°– 45°

Explanation:

In the vertical position, Point the flame in the direction of travel. Keep the flame tip at the correct height above the base metal. An angle of 35°–45° should be maintained between the torch tip and the base metal. This angle may be varied up or down to heat or cool the weld pool if it is too narrow or too wide

If there are 16 signal combinations (states) and a baud rate (number of signals/second) of 8000/second, how many bps could I sen
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 bits/seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

there are 16  signal combinations (states) = 2⁴

bits  n = 4

and a baud rate (number of signals/second) = 8000/second

Therefore; the number of bits per seconds can be calculated as follows:

Number of bits per seconds = bits  n × number of signal per seconds

Number of bits per seconds =  4 × 8000/second

Number of bits per seconds = 32000 bits/seconds

Suppose that you can throw a projectile at a large enough v0 so that it can hit a target a distance R downrange. Given that you
viktelen [127]

Answer:

\theta_1=15^o\\\theta_2=75^o

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

In projectile motion, there are two separate components of the acceleration, velocity and displacement. The horizontal component has zero acceleration (assuming no friction), and the acceleration in the vertical direction is always the acceleration of gravity. The basic formulas are shown below:

V_x=V_{ox}=V_ocos\theta

Where \theta is the angle of launch respect to the positive horizontal direction and Vo is the initial speed.

V_y=V_{oy}-gt=V_osin\theta-gt

The  horizontal and vertical distances are, respectively:

x=V_{o}cos\theta t

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

The total flight time can be found as that when y = 0, i.e. when the object comes back to ground (or launch) level. From the above equation we find

\displaystyle t_f=\frac{2V_osin\theta}{g}

Using this time in the horizontal distance, we find the Range or maximum horizontal distance:

\displaystyle R=\frac{V_o^2sin2\theta}{g}

Let's solve for \theta

\displaystyle sin2\theta=\frac{R.g}{V_o^2}

This is the general expression to determine the angles at which the projectile can be launched to hit the target. Recall the angle can have to values for fixed positive values of its sine:

\displaystyle \theta_1=\frac{asin\left(\frac{R.g}{V_o^2}\right)}{2}

\displaystyle \theta_2=\frac{180^o-asin\left(\frac{R.g}{V_o^2}\right)}{2}

Or equivalently:

\theta_2=90^o-\theta_1

Given Vo=37 m/s and R=70 m

\displaystyle \theta_1=\frac{asin\left(\frac{70\times 9.8}{37^2}\right)}{2}

\theta_1=15^o

And

\theta_2=90^o-15^o=75^o
