Is running 3km a day enough? Your body will become increasingly able to run 3km. That’s not very far, in terms of exercise. A little under 2 miles, or, at most folk’s running pace, perhaps 16–20 minutes of work. That’s not bad… But for many people once you got to that point it would be […]
What is a good U value for insulation?
What is a good U value for insulation? The best insulating materials have a U-value of close to zero – the lower the better. Building regulations currently stipulate that for a new building, the elements must have maximum U-values as follows: Wall – 0.3 W/m2k. Roof – 0.15 W/m2k. What is the most energy efficient […]
Do turbo engines have more problems?
Do turbo engines have more problems? Turbo engines tend to have more problems in many cars, although there are turbocharged engines that are reliable. A turbocharged engine has more components than a naturally-aspirated (non-turbo) motor. A turbocharger itself is not uncommon to fail. The more parts, the more can go wrong. How long should you […]
What is voltage in a series circuit?
What is voltage in a series circuit? Voltage. In a series circuit, the voltage is the sum of the voltage drops of the individual components (resistance units). Is voltage the same in series capacitors? When capacitors are connected in series and a voltage is applied across this connection, the voltages across each capacitor are generally […]
What can be separated into several elements?
What can be separated into several elements? Compounds Can two elements form more than one compound? Law of multiple proportions, statement that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small […]
What happens during eversion?
What happens during eversion? Inversion involves the movement of the sole towards the median plane – so that the sole faces in a medial direction. Eversion involves the movement of the sole away from the median plane – so that the sole faces in a lateral direction. What causes eversion? When rotation is imparted to […]
What does a changing magnetic field causes?
What is the main reason for acid mine drainage?
What is the main reason for acid mine drainage? Acid mine drainage (AMD) is the runoff produced when water comes in contact with exposed rocks containing sulfur-bearing minerals that react with water and air to form sulfuric acid and dissolved iron. This acidic run-off dissolves heavy metals including copper, lead, and mercury which pollute ground […]
Which compound would have a stronger ionic bond?
Which compound would have a stronger ionic bond? Alf3 Why do some ionic compounds have low melting points? The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds. This is because the energy required to disrupt the intermolecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy […]
What is effective overburden pressure?
What is effective overburden pressure? When the soil is subjected to some load, it transfers the load to water in the pores and soil grains. This is defined as effective overburden pressure and otherwise will be called as inter-granular stress or effective stress. It increases with increasing depth of soil. What is Geostatic pressure? 1.
