Analyzing Exploding Carts - Lab Activity Objectives We will study the relationship of force and the duration of the collision. In doing so we will observe the max force experienced by an accelerating cart when it impacts another cart with a spring. A stiff spring will be used. We will collect the information through two items. We will use distance and time as information collectors. This will measure the acceleration‚ velocity‚ and position of the cart as it moves down the track. The most

Introduction Water is known as a vital component to sustain life. When one is confronted with the fact that water is considered a renewable resource in the short term but only 3% is usable (N.Gray)‚ precautions must be taken to ensure the conservation of water. The agriculture industry consumes approximately 70% of the planet’s usable water globally. At large scale the water footprint arguably cannot be reduced‚ raising the question on whether our water is being used to its full potential. Water

Recommended Methods for Determining Soil Cation Exchange Capacity Donald S. Ross and Quirine Ketterings The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of a soil is a measure of the quantity of negatively charged sites on soil surfaces that can retain positively charged ions (cations) such as calcium (Ca2+)‚ magnesium (Mg2+)‚ and potassium (K+)‚ by electrostatic forces. Cations retained electrostatically are easily exchangeable with cations in the soil solution so a soil with a higher CEC has a greater capacity

Dissipation of pretilachlor in soil and field water The dissipation behaviour of pretilachlor from ready mix formulation in paddy grown field soil at all three different doses of application was studied. The mean pretilachlor recovered from the soil and field water at different time intervals from various doses applied treatments are presented in table 4. The amount of herbicide recovered on 0th day (2 hrs after application) was ranged from 104 – 247 µg / kg in soil and 12.2 -13.1 µg / mL in field
