There are several methods for mounting a rail to form a track for the railway engineer. For the following methods, state the advantages and disadvantages and describe where they would most likely be used:

(i) Timber sleeper

(ii) Steel sleeper

(iii) Mono-bloc concrete sleeper

(iv) Twin-bloc concrete sleeper

(v) Slab track

In a three-phase circuit the balanced delta load of (36 +j54) ohms is fed by impedance conductors (5 +j70) ohms. If the generator voltage is 120 V angle 0° phase A, calculate a) the bc voltage on the load, b) the powers in the conductors, c) the bc voltage of the delta load and d) the power delta on the load.

A ball of putty with mass 500 g and negligible size is moving at a speed of v = 3.2 m/s before it strikes a stationary rod of length L = 42 cm and mass 2 kg that is allowed to pivot around its center. What is angular speed of the putty and rod system if the putty sticks to the rod?

A solid disk with r = 1m and M = 1kg falls from unwinding string (as in a primitive yo-yo).

(a) use conservation of energy to find linear speed v once the disk lowers by h = 50cm.

(b) from h = v2/2a find the linear acceleration a

(c) find α, the angular acceleration

3. THE HOMINID PROGRESSION 7.0 -1.0 MYA (i) The Ape Human transition (ii) The first Hominid candidates (iii) The Rise of the genus Homo (iv) Early Homo Lifestyle (v) Who was Homo erectus? (vi) Is Homo floresiensis a distinct type of hominid and if so where do they fit in the hominid progression?

please answer this in a simple python code

1. Write a Python program to construct the following pattern (with alphabets in the reverse order). It will print the following if input is 5 that is, print z one time, y two times … v five times. The maximum value of n is 26. z yy xxx wwww vvvvvv

Download the following zip file Bag and complete the program. You will need to complete files MyBag and .

MyBag uses the java API class ArrayList as the underline data structure. Using the class variables given, complete the methods of the MyBag class.

In your BagHand class you should

• set appropriate default values for select class variables in the constructor
• in the add method, use the MyBag object to add a PlayingCard type to the bag and find and set the appropriate rank of the playing card so you can keep track of the total value of the hand.
  • Jack, Queen, and King should be valued at 10 and and ace(1) should be valued at 11.
• your print statement should return BLACKJACK if the value of the hand is equal to 21, BUST if the values of the hand is over 21, or just print out the value of the hand as well as each card in the hand.

The given driver should run without change.
