Ice. The formation of ice in the myriad of tiny cracks and joints in a rock's surface slowly pries it apart over thousands of years. Frost wedging results when the formation of ice widens and deepens the cracks, breaking off pieces and slabs. Frost wedging is most effective in those climates that have many cycles of freezing and thawing. Frost heaving is the process by which rocks are lifted vertically from soil by the formation of ice. Water freezes first under rock fragments and boulders in the soil; the repeated freezing and thawing of ice gradually pushes the rocks to the surface.

What are the benefits of using the engineering design process
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Some of the benefits are tangible for they are visible in the design and production process, while the other benefits are intangible which may not be visible directly but result in improvement in the quality of product, better control over designing and production process, reduction of stress on the designers etc.

A heat pump operates on a Carnot heat pump cycle with a COP of 12.5. It keeps a space at 24°C by consuming 2.15 kW of power. Det
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a) T_{L} = 273.378\,K\,(0.228\,^{\textdegree}C), b) \dot Q_{H} = 26.875\,kW

Explanation:

a) The Coefficient of Performance of the Carnot Heat Pump is:

COP_{HP} = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

After some algebraic handling, the temperature of the cold reservoir is determined:

T_{H}-T_{L} = \frac{T_{H}}{COP_{HP}}

T_{L} = T_{H}\cdot \left(1-\frac{1}{COP_{HP}}  \right)

T_{L} = (297.15\,K)\cdot \left(1-\frac{1}{12.5}\right)

T_{L} = 273.378\,K\,(0.228\,^{\textdegree}C)

b) The heating load provided by the heat pump is:

\dot Q_{H} = COP_{HP}\cdot \dot W

\dot Q_{H} = (12.5)\cdot (2.15\,kW)

\dot Q_{H} = 26.875\,kW

To find the reactance XLXLX_L of an inductor, imagine that a current I(t)=I0sin(ωt)I(t)=I0sin⁡(ωt) , is flowing through the indu
Sophie [7]

Answer:

V(t) = XLI₀sin(π/2 - ωt)

Explanation:

According to Maxwell's equation which is expressed as;

V(t) = dФ/dt ........(1)

Magnetic flux Ф can also be expressed as;

Ф = LI(t)

Where

L = inductance of the inductor

I = current in Ampere

We can therefore Express Maxwell equation as:

V(t) = dLI(t)/dt ....... (2)

Since the inductance is constant then voltage remains

V(t) = LdI(t)/dt

In an AC circuit, the current is time varying and it is given in the form of

I(t) = I₀sin(ωt)

Substitutes the current I(t) into equation (2)

Then the voltage across inductor will be expressed as

V(t) = Ld(I₀sin(ωt))/dt

V(t) = LI₀ωcos(ωt)

Where cos(ωt) = sin(π/2 - ωt)

Then

V(t) = ωLI₀sin(π/2 - ωt) .....(3)

Because the voltage and current are out of phase with the phase difference of π/2 or 90°

The inductive reactance XL = ωL

Substitute ωL for XL in equation (3)

Therefore, the voltage across inductor is can be expressed as;

V(t) = XLI₀sin(π/2 - ωt)

Which of the following is NOT a provision of the Agricultural Adjustment Act? insurance for farmers alternative energy programs
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Farm equipment

Explanation:

Most people have heard claims that the US government pays farmers not to grow crops. The Agricultural Adjustment Act is the legislation that started this program. It was the first “Farm Bill.” The current farm bill provides for the following:

Subsidies for farmers

Insurance for farmers

Price supports

Food assistance for economically challenged Americans (the largest portion of the Farm Bill)

Forestry conservation programs

Alternative energy programs.
