Concept explainers
Power and energy Power and energy are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. Energy is what makes matter move or heat up and is measured in units of joules (J) or Calories (Cal), where 1 Cal = 4184 J. One hour of walking consumes roughly 106 J, or 250 Cal. On the other hand, power is the rate at which energy is used and is measured in watts (W; 1 W = 1 J/s). Other useful units of power are kilowatts (1 kW = 103 W) and megawatts (1 MW = 106 W). If energy is used at a rate of 1 kW for 1 hr, the total amount of energy used is 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh), which is 3.6 × 106 J.
Suppose the power function of a large city over a 24-hr period is given by
where P is measured in megawatts and t = 0 corresponds to 6:00 P.M. (see figure).
- a. How much energy is consumed by this city in a typical 24-hr period? Express the answer in megawatt-hours and in joules.
- b. Burning 1 kg of coal produces about 450 kWh of energy. How many kg of coal are required to meet the energy needs of the city for 1 day? For 1 year?
- c. Fission of 1 g of uranium-235 (U-235) produces about 16,000 kWh of energy. How many grams of uranium are needed to meet the energy needs of the city for 1 day? For 1 year?
- d. A typical wind turbine can generate electrical power at a rate of about 200 kW. Approximately how many wind turbines are needed to meet the average energy needs of the city?

- (Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft). Eisthemodulesofelasticity( lbs/f t 2 ).Iisthesecondmomentofinertia( f t 4 ). For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forwardPart 6: Boolean Logic Expressions Boolean expressions are types of logical operations that we can perform on true and false values. Note that the word Boolean is always capitalized because it was named after its inventor, George Boole. Boolean algebra is a very important topic in computer science, and if you haven't learned it before you definitely will in the future. However, for our purposes we are only interested in how we can use them to manipulate binary numbers. The way we use them on binary numbers is by treating 1 as true and 0 as false. From this point on I will be using 0 and 1 instead of false and true. There are many types of Boolean expressions, but the three most important ones are AND, OR, and NOT. AND takes 2 operands and will output 1 if they are both 1, or 0 otherwise OR takes 2 operands and will output 1 if either one is 1, or 0 if neither is 1 NOT takes 1 operand and reverses it: 1 becomes 0, and 0 becomes 1 We can represent this behavior using something called a…arrow_forwardThe total nuclear binding energy is the energy required to split a nucleus of anatom in its component parts: protons and neutrons, or, collectively, the nucleons.It describes how strongly nucleons are bound to each other. When a high amountof energy is needed to separate the nucleons, it means nucleus is very stableand the neutrons and protons are tightly bound to each other.The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) is the number of protons foundin the nucleus of an atom. The sum of the atomic number Z and the number ofneutrons N gives the mass number A of an atom. The approximate nuclear binding energy Eb in million electron volts, of an atomicnucleus with atomic number Z and mass number A is calculated using thefollowing formula: Eb = ((a1*A) - (a2*(A**2/3)) - (a3*(Z**2/A**1/3)) - (a4*(((A-2Z)**2)/A )) + (a5/(A**1/2))) where, a1 = 15.67, a2 = 17.23, a3 = 0.75, a4 = 93.2 and a5 = 0 if A is odd Or a5 = 12 if A and Z are both even Or a5 = -12 if A is even and Z is odd The…arrow_forward
- Context: Measuring Air Quality Levels of various air borne pollutants such as Nitrogen Monoxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (also called particle pollution) are all major contributors to the measure of overall air quality. For instance, NO2 is measured using micrograms in each cubic metre of air (㎍/m3). A microgram (㎍) is one millionth of a gram. A concentration of 1 ㎍/m3 means that one cubic metre of air contains one microgram of pollutant. To protect our health, the UK Government sets two air quality objectives for NO2 in their Air Quality Strategy The hourly objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of one hour. The annual objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of a year. The following table shows the colour encoding and the levels for Objective 1 above, the mean hourly ratio, adopted in the UK.

Before carrying out skydiving activities, Bibi will always ask the name, height, and age of the participants. Bibi's participants is always 2 people. To make it easier to remember their identities, Bibi gave them a paper to write down their identity. But because they are very enthusiastic in doing skydiving, they write their identity in a single line only (for both of the participants), so it wasn't quite neat and it made difficult for Bibi to see it, and resulted in the skydiving process being disturbed. As one of the organizer committee, you do not want this activity to be disturbed and plan to provide a program that provides their identity neatly to Bibi. Format Input Input consists of 1 line. It contains the identity of 2 people in a row Ni, Ti, Ui - the name, height, and age of the i-th participant. Format Output The output consists of 6 lines. The first line, "Name 1: N1". The second line, "Height 1: T1". The third line, "Age: U1". For…arrow_forwardGive Authentic and Relevant Answer. Software Engineering Question: The client's ultimate objective is to have an online software system that gives information about the movies that the client sells to customers online. The system gives information about movies and actors/actresses. That is, the system should be accessed online. Each movie is identified by title and year of release. A movie has a genre (drama, comedy, etc.), a running time, and one director. A movie is made at a movie studio and may have multiple producers (people in charge of the movie production). A movie studio has a unique name and address, and may make one or more movies. Producers are identified by name and date of birth and produce one or more movies. Directors are also identified by name and date of birth and direct one or more movies. Assume that directors don’t act or produce movies. Actors are identified by name and date of birth, and may appear in one or more movies. An actor who appears in a movie, has a…arrow_forward

This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR. The calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is: WBMR = 655 + (4.3 × weight in pounds) + (4.7 × height in inches) − (4.7× age in years) The calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is: MBMR = 66 + (6.3 × weight in pounds) + (12.9 × height in inches) − (6.8 × age in years) A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories. Write a java program that allows the user to input his or her weight in pounds, height in inches, and age in years. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars that should be consumed to maintain one’s weight for both a woman and a man of the input weight, height, and age. NOTE: This is an application of a selection statement!

Meteorologists use the following formula to compute the windchill factor, W: W = 35.74 + 0.6215 × T - 35.75 × V0.16 + 0.4275 × T × V0.16 where V is the wind speed in miles per hour and T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Instructions Write a program that prompts the user to input the wind speed in miles per hour, and the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The program then outputs the current temperature and the windchill factor. Your program must contain at least two functions: one to get the user input and the other to determine the windchill factor.arrow_forward

Most chemistry occurs in water (that is, is aqueous); under these circumstances, neutralization leads to water with no excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions present. Neutralization can most simply be expressed as acid + base → salt + water For example, HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O The stoichiometry of the reaction depends on how much hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion each reactant provides. In this case, each molecule of HCl provides one hydrogen ion, and each molecule of NaOH provides one hydroxide ion. The one hydrogen and one hydroxide ion combine to form one molecule of water. For this assignment, suppose that you have been presented with several solutions of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and some of the most popular bases for wastewater treatment: magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), calcium oxide (CaO), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and ammonia…arrow_forward
