In 1923, the United States Army (there was no United States Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of
airplanes. Using two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 36 h. During the flight, the
refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers.
Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.35
and each refueling took 2.41 min to perform. Calculate the
velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle.
velocity:
m/s
Compact florescent light bulbs save energy when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Our green energy campaign includes efforts to get local residents to change their incandescent bulbs to florescent bulbs. Initially 184 households make the change. Market studies suggest that, in the absence of limiting factors, we could increase that number by 28% each month. In our target area, there are 246,744 households, which we take as the limiting value. Make a logistic model that gives the number of households converting to florescent bulbs after t months. (Use t as your variable. Round r to three decimal places.)
The average electricity consumption of a house in
Gainesville is known to be 1,036 kWh in a month
(One month = 30 days). They would like to install
solar panels of 30 % efficiency to generate this
electricity. Given that the average solar power
density in Gainesville is 5.47 kWh/m2/day, how much
surface area must the panels occupy? Calculate the
result in m² but do not write the unit. Round off you
E swer to a whole number (zero decimal place.)
