An automobile having a mass of 1700 kg (chevy volt with one person) is traveling at 15 m/s. on average, it gets an "electric mileage" of 300 wh/km and the battery-to-wheel efficiency is 90%. a. what is its kinetic energy in kj? how much work must be done to bring it to a stop?
b. assume the vehicle is able to recapture half of the kinetic energy through a generator into the battery, and that this happens 50 times over 100 km of driving. how much further was the car able to travel because of regenerative braking?

Classify the following soils according to the uscs classification system. provide appropriate uscs designations. a) this sample of well-graded gravel with sand was obtained from a large earthen dam in vancouver, canada. the sample has 73% fine to coarse sub-angular gravel, 25% fine to coarse sub-angular sand and 2% fines. the maximum size of the particles is 75 mm. the coefficient of curvature is 2.7, while the uniformity coefficient is 12.4. b) this dark brown and wet soil with a “strong organic odor” has 100% passing the no. 200 sieve. the liquid limit of the material is 32% when not dried and is 21% when oven-dried. the plastic index is 21% when not dried. c) this sand has 61% predominantly fine sand, 23% silty fines, and 16% fine sub-rounded gravel size. the maximum size is 20 mm. the liquid limit is 33% and the plastic limit is 27%. d) this soil has 74% fine to coarse sub-angular reddish sand and 26% organic and silty dark brown fines. the liquid limit is 37% when not dried and is 26% when oven dried. the plastic index is 6% when not dried.
