Answer: True

Explanation:

The east-west row planting orientation helps in the maximize the light absorption by plants which then brings about an efficient photosynthesis activity.

Also, it helps in the shading of weeds that can be found in the inter-row space. Also, it brings about an improvement on drop yield crop yield.

Therefore, the answer to the above is true.

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) Metamorphic Rocks

Explanation:

Zoisite, which is also referred to saualpite, is a metamorphic rock which is a hydroxy sorosilicate mineral formed from other types of rocks such as sedimentary, metamorphic and ingenious rocks in the process of their metamorphism under the presence high temperatures and pressures and mineral fluids which are hot

Zoiste is named after Sigmund Zois by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1805 when Sigmund Zois sent Abraham Gottlob Werner the mineral specimen from Saualpe in 1805

The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

$COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}$

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

$COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}$

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

$COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

$\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}$

Rearrange the equation

$\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0$

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.6 mm; the spe

ankoles [38]

Answer:

F = 8849 N

Explanation:

Given:

Load at a given point = F = 4250 N

Support span = L = 44 mm

Radius = R = 5.6 mm

length thickness of tested material = 12 mm

First compute the flexural strength for circular cross section using the formula below:

σ $_{fs} = F_{f} L / \pi R^{3}$

σ = FL / π R³

Putting the given values in the above formula:

σ = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / π ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 (44 x 1 /1000 )) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 11 / 250 ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 1 / 1000 ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 (0.0056)³

= 338943767.745358

= 338.943768 x 10⁶

σ = 338 x 10⁶ N/m²

Now we compute the load i.e. F from the following formula:

$F_{f}$ = 2 σ $_{fs}$ d³/3 L

F = 2σd³/3L

= 2(338 x 10⁶)(12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3(44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338 x 1000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 1/1000 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 3 / 250 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 27 / 15625000 ) / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 146016 / 125 / 3 ( 44 x 1 / 1000 )

= ( 146016 / 125 ) / (3 ( 11 / 250 ))

= 97344 / 11

F = 8849 N

How do you use the brakes in an airplane?

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

When a pilot pushes the top of the right pedal, it activates the brakes on the right main wheel/wheels, and when the pilot pushes the top of the left rudder pedal, it activates the brake on the left main wheel/wheels. The brakes work in a rather simple way: they convert the kinetic energy of motion into heat energy.
