Comprehension
A.
Answer the following questions
a.
What is a hyperloop? How does it work?
👉A hyperloop is an ultra-high-speed ground
transportation system for passengers and cargo.
Hyperloop work on the idea envisioned by Elon that the passenger
pods or capsules travel through a tube, either above or below ground.
b.
How is the hyperloop more beneficial than the
traditional trains?
👉A hyperloop is cheaper, faster, and less
polluting than the traditional rails. It is also quicker and cheaper to build
than traditional rails. Also, it’s less expensive and uses less energy.
c.
Does the hyperloop have a successful history?
👉No, the history of the hyperloop wasn’t
successful because the original concept of the hyperloop was to use wagons and
pneumatic tubes to transport mail and parcels between buildings.
d.
Write the contributions of Robert Goddard and
Elon Musk for the development of the hyperloop.
👉Robert Goddard gave the concept of 'vactrain'
which was the predecessor of the hyperloop.
Elon Musk gave the concept of 'Hyperloop Alpha' which set out how
a modern system would work and how much would it cost.
e.
What relation does speed have with air
resistance?
👉Speed is directly proportional to air
resistance i.e. If speed is more the air resistance will be less but if the
speed is less the air resistance will be more.
f.
What are hyperloop capsules compared with? How
are they similar?
👉 Both Hyperloop and Boeing-747 accelerate at the same measure
of acceleration. So Hyperloop capsules are compared to Boeing-747.
g.
How do passengers feel while traveling via
hyperloop? What will be done to make it luxurious?
👉 Different people have different concepts about traveling through Hyperloop. According to Hyperloop critics, traveling in a Hyperloop can be uncomfortable due to nausea, while Virgin Hyperloop says that traveling through Hyperloop feels almost the same as traveling in an elevator or a passenger plane.
To make the Hyperloop luxurious, beautiful landscapes are shown in the cabin and every passenger has access to their personal entertainment system.
h.
Why does the writer doubt the success of the
hyperloop? What does success depend on?
👉The writer doubts the success of the hyperloop
because of the lack of technology.
The success of the hyperloop depends on the destinations, local
economics, and geography.
Critical thinking
a.
Is the hyperloop the
future of transportation or just a dream? What do you think?
Justify your opinion with suitable reasons.
👉 Hyperloop is an ultra-high-speed ground transportation system for passengers and cargo. It is a newer form of transportation that is currently being researched and developed by various companies. The concept of the Hyperloop has been around for many years, but the lack of technology makes these concepts very difficult to implement. Many intellectuals suggested the concept of the Hyperloop, including Robert Goddard's 'vactrain' and Elon Musk's Hyperloop alpha were two of them. These concepts determine how a modern system would work and how much it would cost. Costs.
Yes, I believe the Hyperloop will revolutionize the future of traffic. Before the Wright brothers invented airplanes, flying in the sky was just a dream. So everything is possible and we cannot see the hyperloop as a dream. It just takes more research and more investment to be successful. With
the development of the Hyperloop, travel will be much easier and cheaper, and pollution will be minimized. There are numerous benefits to having implemented Hyperloop, but there are many difficulties you may encounter while implementing it. Even if consumers like to be addressed in these tubes. Finding the right price for the service will also be crucial as people will no longer be able to pay just to travel.
Additionally, the Hyperloop's success will vary based on the destination, local economy, and geographic location. However, the Hyperloop is at an experimental stage, and it will take a lot of effort to make the Hyperloop available to the common people at a low cost.
b. The
number of private vehicles is increasing day by day in Nepal beyond the
capacity of our infrastructure. What do you think should be done to curb the
ever-growing number of private vehicles? Discuss.
👉 Transport vehicles are
becoming essential for people today. Who doesn't like to use private means of transport when they have some? After a rapid improvement in education, Nepalese are more likely to have better job opportunities. The improvement in the economic situation tends to increase daily expenses. People spend their money to meet their needs, private vehicles are convenient for traveling, for official jobs, so they seem to be a necessity, so the number of private vehicles in Nepal is
increasing day by day
The increasing number of private vehicles in Nepal must be restricted as the infrastructure in Nepal is so weak that it cannot handle several vehicles at the same time. In addition, increased pollution is the result of uncontrolled vehicle inspection, which leads to serious human health problems. To control the increasing number of personal vehicles, the government should restrict family purchases of more than one vehicle. A rule like an odd system introduced in Delhi where vehicles with odd or even numbers at the end of their license plate drive on the road for a second day should also be introduced in Nepal. The government can increase the tax on private vehicles, forcing people to travel in public vehicles. used properly.
After all, government and people must work closely together. Effective management is required to avoid an increase in the number of cars and the resulting negative effects. It is almost impossible to prevent people from buying and using private cars.

= Within the state of Arizona, Rob, along with his family, moves
frequently, from city to city within the state of Arizona. After his arrival,
one of his first tasks is to find an apartment close to work as he does not
have a car. Usually, there are many different places to choose from, and he
considers cost, location, and luxury. If one apartment has a washing machine
and dryer and costs four hundred dollars a month, he prefers to rent it over
another apartment that has significantly less rent located two blocks from a
Laundromat. Rob's family never wants to live in an apartment on the thirteenth
floor since all of them fear heights. He also tries to choose an apartment with
landlords recommended by former tenants. Everybody knows that it is important
to find a responsible landlord. Rob and his wife love to cook together when
both are free. So, he needs a spacious, well-equipped kitchen. Rob often also
looks for a place with an air conditioner because there are so many scorching
days and nights in Arizona. Whenever Rob finds a new apartment, all of his
concerns disappear. He feels relieved and calls his mother. Someone
understands!
