Describe the information found in a VIN.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The information found in a VIN.

Explanation of Solution

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is present on the lower side/corner of the driver side of the windshield. It tells us about the kind of vehicle we are working on. VIN contains a character code of seventeen digits. This code tells about the manufacturers, place of manufacture and resembles the model number. Nowadays, most vehicles contain a scan code which is present just below the VIN.

It tells about the plant where a vehicle has been manufactured and the body style.

For example, 1G1YY36U665112555.

Here, the first character tells about the country where it has been manufactured.

For 1 or 4 − USA

2 − Canada

3- Mexico

J − Japan

K − Korea

S − England

W − Germany

The second character tells about the manufacturer and the tenth character tells about the model year.

Oxygen (molar mass 32 kg/kmol) expands reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston at a constant pressure of 3 bar. The volume initially is 0.01 m3 and finally is 0.03 m3; the initial temperature is 17°C. Calculate the work input and the heat supplied during the expansion. Assume oxygen to be an ideal gas and take cp = 0.917 kJ/kg K. For 1 bonus mark explain why (using your understanding of thermodynamics) that oxygen is used in this context rather than water vapour.

### To make a conclusion for a report of an experiment on rockets, in which the openrocket software was used for the construction and modeling of two rockets: one one-stage and one two-stage. First rocket (single-stage) reached a maximum vertical speed of 200 m/s and a maximum height of 1000 m The second rocket (two-stage) reached a maximum vertical speed of 250 m/s and a maximum height of 1800 m To make a simplified conclusion, taking into account the efficiency of the software in the study of rockets
