A growing trend in urban design is the concept of a rooftop garden. If every building in a city were to install a rooftop garden

, how might the urban heat island be affected? Describe and explain at least two different impacts you might observe.

Answer:The Urban heat island temperature will be REDUCED.

Two Impacts of Rooftop gardens

1) provision of shade against Sunlight.

2) It helps to purify the air around the building.

Explanation: Rooftop gardens are gardens made on top of the roofs of buildings, it is a Green initiative aimed at helping to improve the overall Environment.

Rooftop gardens have several significant benefits which includes

Reduction of the surrounding temperatures and the Urban heat Island temperatures.

Rooftop gardens helps to shade the roof from the direct impacts of harsh weather conditions.

Generally, plants are known as air purifiers as they remove the excess Carbondioxide around the environment through photosynthesis, and they also help to release water vapor which will help to improve the humidity of the environment.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct option is B) Balance Sheet

Explanation:

A Balance Sheet offers a description of a company's obligations, assets, and investments as well as net income over a given span of time such as a period of 6 months or 12 months, for instance.

Also known as the Statement of Financial Position, it contains sufficient information for investors and business owners to determine the company's financial performance in that period as well as to compare the performance of that company with industry norms or competition.

A rich industrialist was found murdered in his house. The police arrived at the scene at 11:00 PM. The temperature of the corpse

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The dude was killed around 6:30PM

Explanation:

Newton's law of cooling states:

$T = T_m + (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

where,

$T_0$ = initial temp

$T_m$ = temp of room

$T$ = temp after t hours

$k$ = how fast the temp is changing

$t$ = time (hours)

$T_0 = 31$ because the body was initlally 31ºC when the police found it

$T_m = 22$ because that was the room temp

$T = 30$ because the body temp drop to 30ºC after 1 hour

t = 1 because that's the time it took for the body temp to drop to 30ºC

$k=???$ we don't know k so we must solve for this

rearrange the equation to solve for k

$T = T_m + (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$T - T_m= (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$\frac{T - T_m}{(T_0-T_m)}= e^{kt}$

$ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})=kt$

$\frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{t}=k$

plug in the numbers to solve for k

$k = \frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{t}$

$k = \frac{ln(\frac{30 - 22}{31-22})}{1}$

$k=ln(\frac{8}{9})$

Now that we know the value for k, we can find the moment the murder occur. A crucial information that the question left out is the temperature of a human body when they're still alive. A living human body is about 37ºC. We can use that as out initial temperature to solve this problem because we can assume that the freshly killed body will be around 37ºC.

$T_0 = 37$ because the body was 37ºC right after being killed

$T_m = 22$ because that was the room temp

$T = 31$ because the body temp when the police found it

$k=ln(\frac{8}{9})$ we solved this earlier

t = ??? we don't know how long it took from the time of the murder to when the police found the body

Rearrange the equation to solve for t

$T = T_m + (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$T - T_m= (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$\frac{T - T_m}{(T_0-T_m)}= e^{kt}$

$ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})=kt$

$\frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{k}=t$

plug in the values

$t=\frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{k}$

$t=\frac{ln(\frac{31 - 22}{37-22})}{ln(8/9)}$

$t=\frac{ln(3/5)}{ln(8/9)}$

$t=\frac{ln(3/5)}{ln(8/9)}$

t ≈ 4.337 hours from the time the body was killed to when the police found it.

The police found the body at 11:00PM so subtract 4.337 from that.

11 - 4.33 = 6.66 ≈ 6:30PM

A spherical gas container made of steel has a(n) 17-ft outer diameter and a wall thickness of 0.375 in. Knowing that the interna

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Maximum Normal Stress σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = 4.08 Ksi

Explanation:

Outer diameter of spherical container D = 17 ft

Convert feet to inches D = 17 x 12 in = 204 inches

Wall thickness t = 0.375 in

Internal Pressure P = 60 Psi

Maximum Normal Stress σ = PD / 4t

σ = PD / 4t

σ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (4 x 0.375 in)

σ = 12,240 / 1.5

σ = 8,160 P/in

σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = PD / 8t

τ = PD / 8t

τ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (8 x 0.375 in)

τ = 12,240 / 3

τ = 4,080 P/in

τ = 4.08 Ksi
