Question
Explain, how efficiency of irrigation can be increased.

Answer

The efficiency of irrigation can be increased by:
  1. Drip and sprinkler system: It increases the efficiency of irrigation as it sprays water through pipes and a sprinkler.
  2. River lift system: It is useful in those areas where canal flow is insufficient or irregular due to inadequate water release. The water is directly drawn from the rivers for supplement irrigation.

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
