What does a mechanical interlock do? Mechanically interlocked circuit breakers are intended to prohibit both power sources from being simultaneously connected to the load. The interlocking system disables one circuit breaker by mechanically preventing handle movement from the Off position while the other circuit breaker is in the On position. How does an interlock control […]
What does the intake air temperature IAT sensor measure?
What does the intake air temperature IAT sensor measure? The Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT) is used by the ECU to determine the temperature of the air entering the engine. This is used in conjunction with the MAP sensor to determine the density and volume of air entering the engine to make the proper fuel […]
How is the brain different from a computer?
How is the brain different from a computer? The brain uses chemicals to transmit information; the computer uses electricity. Even though electrical signals travel at high speeds in the nervous system, they travel even faster through the wires in a computer. A computer uses switches that are either on or off (“binary”). Is the human […]
What are major types of control for robots?
What are major types of control for robots? There are two basic types of control systems: (1) the point-to-point control system and (2) the continuous path control system. Point-to-point control system. With point-to-point control, the robot records the point where it picks up a part and the point where it releases that part. What are […]
How many seconds of arc are in a degree?
What does speed change when it comes to a collision?
What does speed change when it comes to a collision? Excess speed is defined as exceeding the speed limit. — An increase in average speed of 1 km/h typi- cally results in a 3% higher risk of a crash involving injury, with a 4–5% increase for crashes that result in fatalities. — Speed also contributes […]
How many types of actuators are present in hydraulic systems?
How many types of actuators are present in hydraulic systems? 1. Linear actuator: For linear actuation (hydraulic cylinders). 2. Rotary actuator: For rotary actuation (hydraulic motor). Which type of pumps can give discharge even at high pressure? Explanation: Rotary pumps are positive displacement pumps. Rotary pumps have two or more rotating components. The discharge of […]
How do you calculate an adjustment for an allowance?
How do you calculate an adjustment for an allowance? The adjustment for allowances is calculated as the product of the number of allowances (in the employee information section), the allowance deduction amount (in the model assumptions), and the employee tax rate (calculated in task 10). Calculate the net federal income tax. How do the number […]
What is the glass transition temperature Tg of a polymer?
What is the glass transition temperature Tg of a polymer? The glass transition temperature is the temperature range where the polymer substrate changes from a rigid glassy material to a soft (not melted) material, and is usually measured in terms of the stiffness, or modulus. How do you determine the glass transition temperature of a […]
What determines the number of valence electrons?
What determines the number of valence electrons? For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom’s main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in […]
