Bugatti Veyron @ 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds

12 or over but most policemen say about 14 or 13

If an object's velocity-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis, then the object's acceleration is zero. This means that the object is moving at a constant velocity.

X-43 is the fastest going Mach 9.5. However, it does not have a person inside, and it government funded (Don't know if that counts as military).

The fastest plane made by a private builder is the Tupolev Tu-144 going Mach 2.35 (1,550 mph)

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the color of your car influences how often birds will poop on it. Birds are more likely to target cars parked near trees or light posts, as they may mistake them for natural perching spots or sources of food. Factors like proximity to bird habitats and food sources are more likely to affect the likeliness of bird droppings on a car.

The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object. Since all three are traveling at the same velocity, the object with the largest mass (the dump truck) will have the highest kinetic energy, followed by the sports car, and then the bicycle.

A powerful engine can improve the acceleration and top speed of a car, making it faster and more responsive. It can also enhance the overall performance of the vehicle, allowing it to handle heavy loads or challenging terrain more easily. However, a powerful engine can also decrease fuel efficiency and increase maintenance costs.

The impulse can be calculated using the formula: Impulse = force × time. In this case, Impulse = 400 N × 1 s = 400 Ns.

To reduce the friction of axles rotating in the chassis of a mousetrap car, you can try using lubricants like graphite or silicone on the axles. Make sure the axle holes in the chassis are drilled accurately to reduce binding, and use smooth materials for the axle construction. Additionally, ensuring proper alignment and spacing of the wheels can help minimize friction.

A digital balance or electronic scale would be the most accurate and precise instrument to determine the mass of a toy car. These devices can measure mass to a high degree of accuracy and are commonly used in scientific settings for precise measurements.

Steel gas lines for Buicks are commonly used in the fuel system to transport gas from the fuel tank to the engine. These lines are durable and resistant to corrosion, which is important for safety and longevity. It is recommended to have them inspected regularly to prevent leaks or other issues.

The 5.4L V8 engine in the 2001 Expedition and the 1999 F150 are similar but not exactly the same. They may have differences in tuning, performance, and specific components due to the different vehicle applications. It's recommended to confirm compatibility with a mechanic or parts specialist before interchange.

The friction between the tires and the road surface is what prevents a car from skidding. This friction helps to maintain traction and control between the tires and the road, allowing the driver to steer and brake effectively. Factors such as tire quality, road conditions, and driving speed can all affect the amount of friction available to prevent skidding.

Most machines especially mechanical machines that don't use electricity rely heavily on physics. Gravity, air resistance, water resistance and other forces along with moments and mass.

Hope it helped.

The water pick-up ports on a stern drive and outboard are both located on each side of the gearcase. Some models have plastic screens on the outside of the housing, while some are located inside, visible through the pick-up holes.

The maximum efficiency of the carnot engine only depends on two factors:

1 - The temperature of the hot reservoir (TH)

2 - The temperature of the cold reservoir (TC)

And is given by (TH - TC) / TH « or » 1 - TC / TH So by that we can see the maximum efficiency (100%) would be when the difference of temperatures between the two reservoirs is infinite.

Two turbines will require duplication of the equipment which supports the turbines - the steam piping or gas burners to drive the turbines, the condensate or exhaust systems to handle the turbine discharge, the lube oil systems, and the instrumentation to monitor and control the two turbines. These are all cons since the cost of duplicated equipment is roughly double.

Two small turbines provide improved reliability over one large turbine since when the turbine has to be shut down for maintenance or repair, one of them can continue to operate. This is a pro for two turbines.

Ancient Greeks such as Empedocles and Heraclitus were among the first to theorize about combustion. However, the modern understanding of combustion as a chemical reaction involving oxygen was developed by scientists such as Robert Boyle and Antoine Lavoisier in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Steam turbine is comprising of stages, number and size of the stages depands upon the break horse power of the turbine.

The stage has set of moving and fixed blades. The moving blades are attached to the rotor while the stationary blades is called Diaphragm.

The diaphragm guides the steam to glide over the moving blades for producing rotary motion.

In railway control panels, the slot working mechanism is a method of assigning specific time slots for trains to pass through a particular section of the track. This helps in regulating train movements efficiently and avoiding conflicts by ensuring that only one train occupies a specific track section at a given time. For the station master, this system is useful as it facilitates better coordination of train movements, reduces the chances of collisions, and enhances overall safety on the railway network.

The undercoating color is determined by the manufacturer's choice and may not always be related to the exterior color of the car. The goal of the undercoating is typically to provide corrosion protection and sound insulation, rather than to be inconspicuous. Dark undercoating can sometimes provide a visual contrast to make it easier to inspect for any damage or corrosion.

The two main brake types on a bicycle are rim brakes and disc brakes. Rim brakes work by clamping brake pads against the wheel rim, while disc brakes use calipers to grip a rotor attached to the wheel hub. Each type has its own advantages and considerations in terms of performance and maintenance.

I don't work for the government but I can attempt to answer your question:

1) The US has an extremely powerful automotive industry which uses a tremndous amount of its financial profits to fund lawyers who argue the case for protecting their industry to the lawmakers in Washington DC who then in turn, control things from there. 2) Since the beginning (Ford's invention, 1904-1912)when the car replaced the horse, Americans have always loved the car. This is because American culture is deeply rooted in loving freedom and independence (on both the collective- societal level and also an individual level). Since at that time men controlled the purchasing power of the society, owning a car became as much a personal status symbol as a symbol of national economic power--Not only did we invent it, we promoted it more than anyone else, becasue we needed it more than others (such as the europeans who, have many small winding sttreets and crowded cramped cities). Remember-- Europe is much older than the US-- it was never designed for cars 1st becasue governments never expected the invention; second, becasue governments never expected a huge increases in population requiring more space and more people on the road. Our nation by contrast is quite spread out expecially iun Florida, Texas and California--Japan and France do not have the same landscape. 4) we are standing by to eventually purchase one, but need to wait for France, Japan and Germany to "iron out" the weaknesses in their systems before designing one which solves everybody's problems. Hope that helped!

The U.S. population is not dense, people are separated far across the nation. For this type of country, air travel is an advantage. High- speed rail will make better profits in high-density countries like China, Japan, Mexico, ets.....

Jets use kerosene as fuel because it provides a high amount of energy for its weight, allowing for more efficient and longer flights compared to other fuels. Kerosene also has a lower risk of freezing at high altitudes and is more stable during storage, making it a reliable choice for aircraft operations.

1. Park caravan no less than 10M away from a river/dam or other water source.

2. Plug pipe into chemical storage unit and throw other end into river.

3. pump out.

4. drive away in happiness

5. do it again
