Yazid wants to make compost from leaves, sawdust, and food scraps. Leaves have 2% N, C:N 22.5, and MC 77%. Sawdust has 30% C, C:N 300, and MC 20%, whereas food scraps have 2% N, C:N 20, and 50% MC. If the amount of leaves used is 15 kg, determine how much food scraps and sawdust should be added to get a compost mixture with an ideal ratio of C:N 30:1 and moisture content 60%?

- A spring within a spring launcher is compressed a distance, x, and locked into position by a pin at point P. A spherical ball M is placed onto the compressed spring. When the pin is removed, the spring accelerates the ball upwards until the ball then reaches some maximum height above the spring, HM. Assume the compression of the spring is small in comparison to the maximum height reached by the launched ball. The ball is then replaced by a ball with a quarter 1 of the mass, M. The same spring is 4 compressed the same distance, x, and the new ball is launched. HM In terms of HM, determine the maximum height reached by the lighter ball.arrow_forwardHi Please Help me answer this with complete solution thank you very mucharrow_forwardHi Please Help me answer this with complete solution thank you very mucharrow_forward

Potassium occurs naturally in our environment (and thus our bodies) as three isotopes: Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Their current abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%. A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass. How much Potassium-40 is present in a person with a mass of 80 kg? If, on average, the decay of Potassium-40 results in 1.10 MeV of energy absorbed, determine the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80-kg body. Assume an RBE of 1.2. The half-life of Potassium-40 is 1.28 x 109 years.arrow_forward
