Length is call vector or scalar quantity

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Scalar quantity

Explanation:

Scalar quantities give a magnitude, while vector quantities give a magnitude and a direction. The answer will be a measurement that does not change, regardless of the direction of action. Displacement is a measure of length in a given direction; distance is the scalar version of displacement. hence length is scalar quantity

11. Name and explain four ways that we can increase food production.

Bond [772]

First, improving nutrition and minimizing the environmental footprint of the food system by making food supplies more diverse, nutritious and sustainable is essential. This means rebalancing production from mono crops and cereals, dairy and meat towards the more diverse production of fruit, vegetables and semi-arid nutritious crops that use less water and are more tolerant of heat. Smallholder farmers, who are often among the most malnourished, and who lack the technology and knowledge necessary to be more efficient and sustainable, are crucial stakeholders in diversifying the food system.

Second, urgent action must be taken to tackle the growing burden of obesity and NCDs in the region. Changing the increasingly obesogenic environment must become a top priority, ensuring everyone has access to healthy and affordable food. A new policy framework aimed at protecting consumers – especially children – from diets that are high in added salt, sugar and saturated fats, and low in micronutrients, is vital. Furthermore, measures and incentives to ensure that healthy, diverse and sustainably produced foods become easily available and affordable must be developed.

Third, investment is needed to facilitate innovations and development of interventions that can improve nutrition in a cost-effective, sustainable way. Fortifying staple foods and condiments with nutrients, for example, is both effective and cheap, costing as little as a few cents per person, per year. There has been significant progress in the region since Saudi Arabia first made adding iron, folic acid and vitamin A to wheat flour mandatory in 1978. Afghanistan, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Oman and Yemen are now all using fortification to reduce micronutrient deficiencies among vulnerable groups. But, there is still much to be done to expand these programmed.

Finally, the private sector needs to be engaged in a meaningful way in finding solutions to a more sustainable and nutritious food system. The food industry is a key stakeholder and a major catalyst for change, so it is important that businesses are included. This will enable policy-makers to create regulatory frameworks that encourage the private sector to step up to the nutrition challenge and invest in more sustainable business operations.

The air parcel above has a temperature of 30 deg C on the surface. Its Dew Point temperature is 20 deg C. The dry adiabatic laps

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Once the external force is removed , the air parcel will remain at that level.

Yes a cloud will form

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature of the air parcel $T_a$ = 30 ° C

Dew point temperature = 20 ° C

Dry adiabatic lapse rate D = 10° C/Km

Moist adiabatic lapse rate M= 4° C/Km

external force lifting the air parcel from surface to the attitude = 1 km

Let first calculate the air temperature T at the top of the mountain

T = $T_a - (D*1 \ km) - (M * 1 \ km)$

T = 30 ° C - ( 10 ° C/Km × 1 km ) - ( 4° C/Km × 1 km )

T = 30 ° C - 10 ° C - 4 ° C

T = 30 ° C - 14 ° C

T = 16 ° C

The temperature at the top of the mountain is 16 ° C

What will happen to the air parcel once the external forcing is removed?

Once the external force is removed , the air parcel will remain at that level.

This is because, from the information given: air temperature will drop to .20° C by the dry adiabatic lapse rate of 10° C/km at an altitude of 1 km.

Since both the air parcel temperature and the external temperature are taking place at 1 km ; then no external force is applied thus, they will remain at that level.

Will a cloud form?

Yes, a cloud will form

GIven that ; the Dew point temperature = 20 ° C , the air parcel will no be able to either sink or rise. Therefore condensation of vapor to water will occur which in turns form a cloud.
