Answer:

of 150 pounds per square inch

Explanation:

Note that the unit for measuring water pressure is called pounds per square inch (psi)

In the case of sprinklers and standpipe systems, a pressure of 150 pounds per square inch was used initially.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The condition is true when their voltage and current specifications with their impedance are matched or complementary to each other.

Explanation:

Solution

Yes it is possible or true to interface an IC with a different technology like the TTL to HCS12 ports. but the condition is that their current and voltage specifications should be matched and their impedance and power also should be matched.

What this implies is that both their voltage and current requirements should be complementary to each other so as their impedance.

The nuclear reactions resulting from thermal neutron absorption in boron and cadmium are 10B5 + 1 n0 ï 7Li3 + 4He2 113Cd48 + 1

kirill115 [55]

Solution :

The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :

$^{10}\textrm{B}_5 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{7}\textrm{Li}_3 + ^{4}\textrm{He}_2$

And the reaction for Cadmium is :

$^{113}\textrm{Cd}_48 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{114}\textrm{Cd}_48 + \gamma [5 \ \textrm{MeV}]$

We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.

To compute the energy used by a motor, multiply the power that it draws by the time of operation. Con- sider a motor that draws

ehidna [41]

Answer:

E=52000Hp.h

E=38724920Wh

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must multiply the engine power by the time factor expressed in h / year, to find this value you must perform the conventional unit conversion procedure.

Finally, when you have the result Hp h / year you convert it to Ftlb and Wh

$E=(12.5hp)(\frac{16h}{day} )(\frac{5 days}{week} )(\frac{52week}{year} )\\$

E=52000Hp.h

$E=52000Hp.h(\frac{744.71Wh}{Hp.h} )\\$

E=38724920Wh

$E=52000Hph(\frac{1977378.4 ft lb}{1Hph}$

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Which of the following would require the filing of an EIS? a. expansion of an airport in a national park b. allowing snowmobiles

alekssr [168]

Answer:

d. All of the above would require an EIS.

Explanation:

A document prepared with the aim of describing the impacts of suggested operations on the environment is an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). There was a mistake. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is therefore a report describing the environmental effects resulting from a current action. All of the activities above would have an effect on the environment and therefore must fill an EIS
