How quickly does Peat form? Peat is formed by decomposition and accumulation process of plant materials that grow on the land which is influenced by dry and wet season period. Peat formation occurs in a long period with the formation rate of about 1 mm per year (Charman, 2002), which means 1 m deep peat […]
What type of system is a hydraulic system?
What type of system is a hydraulic system? A hydraulic system is a drive technology where a fluid is used to move the energy from e.g. an electric motor to an actuator, such as a hydraulic cylinder. The fluid is theoretically uncompressible and the fluid path can be flexible in the same way as an […]
What are the factors affecting the solubility?
What are the factors affecting the solubility? Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of […]
What are examples of an unbalanced force?
What are examples of an unbalanced force? Practically anything that moves is a result of the exertion of unbalanced forces on it. If you kick a football and it moves from one place to another, it means that unbalanced forces are acting upon it. Ball moves from one place to another after kicking it. This […]
What is the basic source of magnetism?
What is the basic source of magnetism? The source of magnetism is the electric charges. The movement of the electric charge causes magnetism. Substances are made from tiny atoms. These atoms have protons, electrons and neutrons. Where is magnetism found? A very common source of magnetic field found in nature is a dipole, with a […]
Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water?
Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water? Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water? Temperature. Salinity. How temperature affects the movement of ocean water? Water expands when it warms up – heat energy makes its molecules move around more and take up more […]
Why does sand burn your feet?
Is oxygen a donor or acceptor?
Is oxygen a donor or acceptor? Oxygen is an oxidizing agent (electron acceptor) and hydrogen is a reducing agent (electron donor). What are the best electron donors? When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in […]
What is a matrix material?
What is a matrix material? The matrix is basically a homogeneous and monolithic material in which a fiber system of a composite is embedded. It is completely continuous. The matrix provides a medium for binding and holding reinforcements together into a solid. What is the benefit of composite matrix? Advantages of Composite Materials Low cost […]
What is the lowest order of the Butterworth?
What is the lowest order of the Butterworth? What is the order N of the low pass Butterworth filter in terms of KP and KS? Explanation: We know that, [\frac{Ω_P}{Ω_C}]^{2N} = 10^{-K_P/10}-1 and [\frac{Ω_P}{Ω_C}]^{2N} = 10^{-K_S/10}-1. Which is better FIR or IIR? The advantage of IIR filters over FIR filters is that IIR filters usually […]
