The derivation of maximum power transfer theorem for purely resistive DC circuits. V_L= E x R_L/(R_L+r) P_L= 〖V_L〗^2/R_L = (E^2 〖R_L〗^2/〖(R_L+r)〗^2 )/R_L = (E^2 R_L)/〖(R_L+r)〗^2 Calculating the most favourable value of the load resistor for maximum power transfer from a DC source with a internal resistance. When any arbitrary load resistance may be selected. Let R_L= kr ( k is a positive number) P_L= kr/〖(kr+r)〗^2 E^2= k/〖(k+1)〗^2 E^2/r f = k/〖(k+1)〗^2 = 1/(k+2+k^(-1) )…

Built Ford Tough. When one thinks of a company that manufactures pickup trucks, one would envision a company that builds the toughest, meanest, longest lasting truck ever- huge four wheel drive off road machines, with poor gas mileage-a tool to get the job done. This is definitely what I envisioned. Similarly, one could assume the target audience for a pick-up would be brawny, blue-collared construction workers or farmers who tow huge loads on dirt roads with ruts galore. They require a…

The impact of environmental change on the automobile industry has been significant and widespread. There has been widespread and fast changes in the environment in the past decade which is causing the need for the executives and leaders of auto makers to be cutting edge in their decision making and the pace at which there companies innovate. In the past the business model was clear and the companies felt safe with no direct completion. With the advent of global and international commerce the…

A sprawl is a land consumption, isolated, auto dependent land expansion made up of regular uses such as housing shopping plazas, subdivisions, office and business parks. (Palen, 2015). Sprawl is a form of urbanization well-known by low density, commercial strips and public open space. Sprawl, is inherently economically in efficient, wasteful of time and resources, and destructive of the environment (Palen, 2015).The development of suburbs was a solution for many families to begin a new…

Using the data obtained through the Labquest2 computer system, my group and I calculated exactly the initial momentum and kinetic energy, final momentum and kinetic energy, and percent of momentum and kinetic energy that was lost through these collisions. To calculate momentum we used the equation p_i=p_f which expands to m_1 v_1i+m_2 v_2i=m_1 v_1f+m_2 v_2f. We can say that our first hypothesis was accepted since in collisions 1 and 2 the total initial and final momentum was similar values.…

There are so many positives to self-driving cars, but that doesn’t mean they don’t me nervous. Article: In January 2016, the Obama administrations set aside 4 billion dollars to fast-forward the development and implementation of self-driving vehicles through real-world pilot projects. Without a doubt, self-driving vehicles will be safer than any cars driven by humans. In fact, it’s estimated that autonomous vehicles will reduce traffic accidents by 94 percent. So, whether you’re for or against…

Pallet Jacks – Effective Material Handling Equipment Each warehouse has its similarities and differences. They are all about moving and storing products of every shape and size imaginable. If there is one tool that made life easier in a workplace it would be the pallet jack. Pallet Jacks allow you to move whole loaded pallets without having to use a Forklift. They are a huge time saver, the process is easy you slide the pallet truck underneath the pallet and then jack the pallet up. From there…

Describe what an autonomous vehicle is, and predict some of the challenges the vehicles might face in this Grand Challenge road race. An autonomous vehicle is one that can drive itself through the use of sensors, algorithms, and basic components of a normal vehicle (engine, transmission, axles, and wheels). My predictions for the challenge is that the vehicles will face hills, uneven terrain, sharp turns, software failure, hardware failure, and other mechanical failures. How did the teams…
