(a) The functional unit used to compare is 20,000,000 lumen hours of light having a wavelength range of 450 nm to 600 nm

(b) 50,000 miles of use of each vehicle to convey passengers

(c) A proper functional unit is the annual safety and maintenance record estimated by the number of incidents recorded and maintenance performed per calendar year

Explanation:

The function of a product is the unambiguous action it is meant to perform or the satisfaction it is meant to provide

Functional unit is a measure of the amount of a product function required to result in identified environmental impacts

(a) The functional unit used to compare CFL light bulb versus LED light bulb is 20,000,000 lumen hours of light having a wavelength range of 450 nm to 600 nm

The LED's lamp life span illumination is about and the wavelength is in the visible region

(b) Honda Civic Sedan versus Ford F150 Pickup

The functional unit here can be the the output input functions such as wear of the brake and tire, the amounts of emissions produced per amount of gasoline consumed multiplied by the function unit of 50,000 miles of use to convey passengers

(c)Suspension Bridge Connecting Italy and Sicily versus Underwater Tunnel connecting Italy and Sicily

A proper functional unit is the annual safety and maintenance record estimated by the number of incidents recorded and maintenance performed per calendar year.

Answer from: Quest

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about

Answer from: Quest

answer:

d. attempt to find the owner, then leave your information if you cannot find them.

explanation:

d. represents both (b) and (c).

more logical as well.

b and c are to complicated.

glad i could , give me a follow, so if you need with any other question, im here.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
