Humans have been eating meat for many generations. In the beginning, it was in the case of survival, especially in the winter when the earth didn’t provide for any plants.

The fur you could use as a blanket to get yourself warm, and the meat could get a whole family feel full for a week, but this was also a way to show respect for the animal.

The Ford mustang Lee Iococca had asked his team to create a new 2 seat vehicle. He needed a car that would give all the other European cars and the American Chevrolet Corvette a run for their money. Iococca was the General manager of Ford. Donald Frey and his design team formed the project, which was called the T-5. Lee was anxious about this car because his last car, The Ford Thunderbird had not been quite as much of a success. Lee Iococca did not enjoy the work that was happening and hired Davis

Introduction This project used four different exothermic reactions to boil one litre of water, in doing this the reactions’ economic and environmental friendliness were tested and compared. The following exothermic reactions were tested: the combustion of charcoal, the combustion of wood, the combustion of propane gas and the combustion of hydrogen gas. It is important to note that we did as much as possible to carry out all the experiments fairly, however we faced a few difficulties and were not

changing of rpm. Before LT4, Corvette used LT1 and there are vital differences between its old engine (LT1) and new engine (LT4). As Mraz (2014) stated, the new LT4 engine produces 37% more horsepower and 40% more torque than old LT1 owing to the 1.7 litre supercharger. The new system is one inch taller and 20 lb lighter than prior supercharger (para. 8). Generating more horsepower and torque with lighter new supercharger system contributes to increase engine

rocket travelled 0.46 m/s. Doing this required lots of fuel and power. The first stage of the rocket uses 770,000 litres of kerosene fuel and 1.2 million litres of liquid oxygen to be able to combust at take-off. The second stage uses 984,000 litres of liquid hydrogen fuel and 303,000 litres of liquid oxygen. The third stage uses 252,750 litres of liquid hydrogen fuel and 73,280 litres of liquid oxygen. Each of these stages discarded at certain stages after

was again an increase of 5.32% in 2013-14 as compared to the previous year. It is also important to note that emission due to diesel is more as compared to emission from petrol as use of diesel has been more as diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel fuel has no lead emissions of the regulated pollutants (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), which are significantly lower than those from petrol cars without a catalyst are. Thus, it should be noted that the emissions

Drivers wage = $25/h Fuel = $1.30/L Truck maintenance = $15/h The truck consumes a single litre of fuel every 5km, however, this increases by 0.2L every 1km/h increase in speed after 110km/h. Using this information, it is possible to calculate the cost of the trip, if the truck were to travel at an average 110km/h. The time of the trip can be

Introduction - Animal agriculture is defined as the science of breeding animals, feeding and tending domestic animals for the production of animal products and recreational purposes (McLachlan, 2012). Animal agriculture and farming occurs all around the world and without it the human race would remain without meat.

mmended Energy Policies for Nunavut Nunavut is currently powered almost solely by 25 stand alone, inefficient and old diesel generating stations in remote hamlets across the nearly 2 million km2 territory. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. With significant wind, solar and hydro resources and a population that is becoming increasingly educated and passionate about climate change and energy efficiency every day, the future of clean energy in Nunavut is promising. The Government

August 21, 1991 little after 2 pm, when an explosion occurred on Coode Island, a 600,000 litre chemical storage tank that was filled with acrylonitrile caught on fire and exploded. The fire burned extreme hazardous chemicals including, methyl ethyl ketone, acrylonitrile, and benzene forming clouds of toxic black smoke more than 18 miles from the site, prompting the closure of roads and evacuation of Schools, nearby buildings and ships. All residents were told to stay inside with doors and windows

hay cubes or other high-fibre source daily. Water -Water requirements depend largely on environmental conditions and amount of work or physical activity being performed. The minimal intake of water a day for a 100kg horse body weight should be 5 litres, assuming the horse is consuming at least 1.5% of its body weight in feed dry matter. However a 500-kg horse will usually drink 21–29 L of water per day when fed a mixed hay/grain ration

2.1.4 Estimate quantities to a tolerance acceptable in the context of the estimation Example 1: Estimating and measuring length Question John needs to measure the width of a window, to find out how much material he needs to buy to make a curtain. The curtain material costs R 55 per metre. John estimates the width of the window (using his arm) to be 1,9 metres wide. If Carl goes to the shop with this estimate: 1. How many metres of material would he need to buy? 2. How much would the material cost

We have been engaged by Sydney Water to convince a target audience to drink tap water rather than purchasing bottled water. We have targeted teenagers as they are the largest group of Australian consumers of bottled water and we believe they would be most sensitive to the benefits that come with switching to tap water.

Secondly, it should be mandatory that business have a water strategy carefully outlined and disclosed to the government. This helps the government to understand how businesses are making use of their water

Hydration Hydration during the growing years is often a concern for many parents. Children are exposed to soft drinks, juices, iced teas and energy drinks on numerous occasions per day and the ingestion of pure water often takes the back seat. However, water intake during the growing years is of cardinal importance as water is the transporter of nutrients around the body and towards the exercising muscles. In addition to this, the ingestion of soft drinks extracts calcium from the athlete’s bones
