The motion detector we used in class measures distance to the nearest object by using a speaker and a microphone. the speaker clicks 30 times a second. the microphone detects the sound bouncing back from the nearest object in front of it. the computer calculates the time delay between the making of the sound and receiving the echo. it knows the speed of sound (about 343 m/s at room temperature) and from that, it can calculate the distance to the object from the time delay. a. if the nearest object in front of the detector is too far away, the echo will not get back before a second click is emitted. once that happens, the computer has no way of knowing that the echo isn't an echo from the second click and the detector doesn't give correct results anymore. how far away does the object have to be before that happens? (give your answer to three significant figures.) . the speed of sound changes a little bit with temperature. let's try to get an idea of how important this is. at room temperature (72°f) the speed of sound is about 343 m/s. at 62°f it is about 1% smaller. suppose we are measuring an object that is really 1.5 meters away at 72°f. what is the time delay δt that the computer detects before the echo returns? suppose the temperature is 62°f. if the computer detects a time delay of δt but (because it doesn't know the temperature) calculates the distance using the speed of sound appropriate for 72°f, how far away would the computer report the object is? (give your answer to 3 significant figures.) . in the box below, explain your reasoning for parts a and b.

Asatellite component is in the shape of a cube with 10cm edges, has an evenly distributed mass of 2 kg and one bolt hole at each of four corners. if the maximum predicted random vibration environment is 10 grms, what bolt size would be a good choice for restraint? what other factors might drive bolt size besides force/stress?

Air is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kpa and 20°c at a rate of 0.6 m^3/s. the combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kj/kg°c) enter at 160°c at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 95°c. determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.

The drag force, fd, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity v is given by fd = cdaρv 2/2 where cd is a constant called the drag coefficient, a is the projected frontal area of the vehicle, and ρ is the air density. an automobile is moving at v = 80 kilometers per hour with cd = 0.28, a = 2.3 m2, and ρ = 1.2 kg/m3.
