Aluminum
Aluminum siding is out of date and really has no advantages in today’s market. It dents, it’s difficult to keep clean, and it’s hard to update it once it’s installed. Aluminum siding is not recommended, and most professional contractors won’t even install it.

Vinyl
Today’s mainstream siding material is vinyl. It is the most economical type of siding, coming in at $4 to $5 per square foot.

Available in a wide variety of colors, vinyl siding not only protects your home, it can make a statement. You can choose from whites, ivories, grays, browns, reds, greens and even blues — there’s a color for everyone.

In addition, vinyl is a complete self-flushing water-exclusion system. It is made to be water repellent and durable in any kind of weather. Its lightweight footprint makes it easy to install, which minimizes expenses.

Vinyl is low-maintenance and requires only periodic cleaning with a power washer every few years – more if you want it to really shine.

Premium vinyl
A step up from regular vinyl, premium vinyl gives you a more wood-like appearance. It’s usually a thicker vinyl that looks more rigid because it has no oil canning, as lighter vinyl does.

The upgrade to premium gives you more strength and longer lifespan. Many premium vinyl sidings also have integrated insulation or r-values (insulation grade) of 5 to 6.

Premium vinyl cost is generally higher than vinyl, at around $7 to 8 per square foot. Premium vinyl also comes in a rainbow of colors for customization and personalization

Natural wood
Wood siding provides a more rustic look for your home, with a more customized result.

The siding can be in long horizontal pieces or it can be shaped to suit your individual design needs. That’s the beauty of wood. You may want the look of clapboard – overlapping pieces of wood installed horizontally – or shingles – smaller pieces of wood overlapping like a shingled roof. Wood siding is a good choice for this façade.

Fiber cement siding
Finally, you may hear about fiber cement siding. Today’s version is a combination of wood pulp, cement, clay and sand. It can be made to look like wood siding, and it is installed and wears much like wood siding.

This is different from the fiber cement siding that was used in homes built prior to the late 1980s. Those older sidings contain asbestos, and any work with them should be done by a specialized asbestos-removal professional. Today’s fiber cement siding is safer and longer-lasting, if you’re willing to pay the price.

Fiber cement siding can be ordered pre-colored, eliminating the need to paint the siding. If you prefer to paint it, that is still an option, because the material does accept paint rather easily. Fiber cement siding requires a periodic recaulk of butt joints at trim terminations, which is a little more maintenance than a vinyl siding.

When to replace siding
When should you replace your siding? It should be replaced if it has any kind of water damage, mold or rotting. If it hasn’t been properly maintained, it might be time for new siding. And, of course, if you simply want a new look, new siding can be a side show for the neighborhood.

Consider a steady-state experiment in which the observed current due to reduction of Ox to R is 85 mA/cm2. What is the concentra
Elanso [62]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Surface Concentration: In electrochemistry, there is an important distinction between the concentration of a species at the electrode’s surface and its concentration at some distance from the electrode’s surface (in what we call the bulk solution). Suppose we place an electrode in a solution of Fe3+ and fix the potential at 1.00 V. At this potential Fe3+ is stable—the standard state reduction potential for Fe3+ to Fe2+ is +0.771 V, the concentration of Fe3+ remains the same at all distances from the electrode’s surface.

Bulk Concentraton: If we change the electrode’s potential to +0.500 V, the concentration of Fe3+ at the electrode’s surface decreases to approximately zero. The concentration of Fe3+ increases as we move away from the electrode’s surface until it equals the concentration of Fe3+ in bulk solution. The resulting concentration gradient causes additional Fe3+ from the bulk solution to diffuse to the electrode’s surface.

The radial component of acceleration of a particle moving in a circular path is always:________ a. negative. b. directed towards
lesya [120]

Answer:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

There are two components of acceleration for a particle moving in a circular path, radial and tangential acceleration.

The radial acceleration is given by;

a_r = \frac{V^2}{R}

Where;

V is the velocity of the particle

R is the radius of the circular path

This radial acceleration is always directed towards the center of the path, perpendicular to the tangential acceleration and negative.

Therefore, from the given options in the question, all the options are correct.

d. all of the above

A man weighs 145 lb on earth.Part ASpecify his mass in slugs.Express your answer to three significant figures and include the ap
adell [148]

Answer:

<em>a) 4.51 lbf-s^2/ft</em>

<em>b) 65.8 kg</em>

<em>c) 645 N</em>

<em>d) 23.8 lb</em>

<em>e) 65.8 kg</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Weight of the man on Earth = 145 lb

a) Mass in slug is...

32.174 pound = 1 slug

145 pound = x slug

x = 145/32.174 = <em>4.51 lbf-s^2/ft</em>

b) Mass in kg is...

2.205 pounds = 1 kg

145 pounds = x kg

x = 145/2.205 = <em>65.8 kg</em>

c) Weight in Newton = mg

where

m is mass in kg

g is acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s^2

Weight in Newton = 65.8 x 9.81 = <em>645 N</em>

d) If on the moon with acceleration due to gravity of 5.30 ft/s^2,

1 m/s^2 = 3.2808 ft/s^2

x m/s^2 = 5.30 ft/s^2

x = 5.30/3.2808 = 1.6155 m/s^2

weight in Newton = mg = 65.8 x 1.6155 = 106

weight in pounds = 106/4.448 = <em>23.8 lb</em>

e) The mass of the man does not change on the moon. It will therefore have the same value as his mass here on Earth

mass on the moon = <em>65.8 kg</em>

A sample of wastewater is diluted 10 times. The diluted solution has an ultimate biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Lo, of 30 mg/L
zzz [600]

Answer:

474.59 mg/L

Explanation:

Given that

BOD = 30 mg/L

Original BOD  = 30 mg/L × dilution factor

Original BOD  = 30 mg/L  × 10 = 300 mg/L

L_o = \frac{BOD}{1-e^{-5t}}

here L_o is the ultimate BOD ; BOD is the  biochemical oxygen demand ;  t = 0.20 /day

L_o = \frac{300}{1-e^{-5(0.20)}}

L_o = 474.59 \ mg/L
