answer these questions

1.Describe the essential aspects of Leopold’s ethics

2.What – exactly – is the land ethic?

3.Describe in some depth the meaning of the story within the reading “Thinking like a Mountain”

 

separate question Please follow the guidelines to the Case Study Prep as outlined in Module 1. You have basically one page – 200 to 250 words – to write your overview, bullets and to seeking to apply Leopold’s Ethics, those of Deep Ecology and Eco-feminist ethics to the cases. It is probably best to write to two separate responses with the title of the case at the start of each of your responses.

L2 Maths and Physics Short Task

This report will produce a poster showing the relationship between the temperature scales of Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin using equations and graphs including an evaluation of the usefulness of each.

Temperature Scales

The three different temperature scales used today are Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin.

Fahrenheit (°F)

Fahrenheit temperature scale, developed in 1724 by Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, is based on 32 for the freezing point and 212 for the boiling point of water (Three Big Temperature Scales, n.d.). The interval between freezing point and boiling point is divided in 180 equal parts. The absolute zero for the Fahrenheit temperature scale is at -459.67 °F. It is a non-metric temperature scale. Meteorologists in the United States use it to record surface temperature measurements. Medical practitioners use it to record human body temperature.

Celsius (°C)

Celsius temperature scale, invented in 1742 by the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, is the modern system of measuring temperature and is based on 0 for the freezing point and 100 for the boiling point of water. The interval between freezing point and boiling point is divided in 100 equal parts. The absolute zero for the Celsius temperature scale is at -273.15 °C. It is a metric temperature scale. Both Fahrenheit and Celsius are used to record weather temperatures.

Kelvin (K)

Kelvin temperature scale is an extension of the degree Celsius scale down to&nbsp.absolute zero (Metric system temperature, n.d.). In this scale, water freezes at the value 273.15 and boils at 373.15. The absolute zero for the Celsius temperature scale is at 0 K. It is a metric temperature scale and is used in most of science (Units of Temperature, n.d.). Kelvin scale has been adopted as the international standard for scientific temperature measurement.&nbsp.

Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion

The equation to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is given by

The above equation is related to the straight line equation, y = mx + c. The value of slope constant, m is 1/1.8 or 5/9 and the value of intercept constant c is 32/1.8 or 160/9 = 17.78.

Fahrenheit to Kelvin Conversion

The equation to convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin is given by

The above equation is related to the straight line equation, y = mx + c. The value of slope constant, m is 1/1.8 or 5/9 and the value of intercept constant c is 273 + 32/1.8 or 2617/9 = 290.78.

Kelvin to Celsius Conversion

The equation to convert Kelvin to Celsius is given by

The above equation is related to the straight line equation, y = mx + c. The value of slope constant, m is 1 and the value of intercept constant c is -273.

Conversion Graph for Fahrenheit to Celsius and Fahrenheit to Kelvin

Figure 1 shows a graph with lines that shows the conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius (green line) and Fahrenheit to Kelvin (maroon line). As shown in figure 1, both lines are straight line.

Write 8 pages thesis on the topic car transport trailer design. Small car engines have a lower capacity and do not perform well if the load is attached to them. However, engines of more than 2.0 litters are considered good for car transport trailers. Off-road SUVs with engine capacity of 2.5 to 3.5, litters perform really well when attached with the car transport trailers.

Write 8 pages thesis on the topic car transport trailer design. Small car engines have a lower capacity and do not perform well if the load is attached to them. However, engines of more than 2.0 litters are considered good for car transport trailers. Off-road SUVs with engine capacity of 2.5 to 3.5, litters perform really well when attached with the car transport trailers.

The wheelbase is the exact distance from the centre of the front wheel to the centre of the rare wheel from any one of two sides. The track is the distance between the front wheels or the rare wheels. The distance is measured from the centre of the tires. Ground clearance is the height of the car from the ground up to the lower body of the car or a clear space from the ground until silencer or any other car part. Ground clearance influences the centre of gravity of the vehicle. If the centre of gravity is above the ground, the vehicle will lose control on edges and while moving to steer. Lower ground clearance is better but it is set according to practicality and available size dimension.

Previously only metal beams and sheets are used to manufacture a car transport trailer but modern car transport trailers are manufactured with fibreglass or aluminium alloy materials. However, the base is still manufactured with solid steel. The use of the material is selected according to the designed weight-bearing ability of the car transport trailer. The selection of the material depends on various factors like availability, cost of the material, rigidity and durability required and practicality.

Materials play an important role in determining the strength of a design. Steel is always considered the best material to achieve durability and rigidity. Steel has a larger index of elasticity and it suits the designs that require rigidity and durability. Steel is a term used to represent iron that has been mixed with little quantities of carbon, manganese, nickel or other elements and compounds to enhance its physical as well as chemical properties.
