Can tsunamis be stopped? Tsunamis could be stopped before they hit the coastline, a Welsh mathematician has proposed in a study of deep-ocean sound waves. Dr Usama Kadri, from Cardiff University’s School of Mathematics, has suggested that firing deep-ocean sound waves at an oncoming tsunami could save lives and reduce on-shore damage. What disaster will […]
Is 1 degree Celsius cold or hot?
Is 1 degree Celsius cold or hot? In the Celsius scale there are 100 degrees between the freezing point and the boiling point of water compared to 180 degrees in the Fahrenheit scale. This means that 1 °C = 1.8 °F (check the section about temperature differences below). What is the coldest Fahrenheit temperature? The […]
What are 3 uses of beryllium?
What are 3 uses of beryllium? Beryllium is alloyed with copper or nickel to make springs, gyroscopes, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes and non-sparking tools, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry. Other beryllium alloys are used in high-speed aircrafts and missiles, as well as spacecraft and communication satellites. Why is beryllium so expensive? Beryllium is […]
How do you know if a gas is produced in a chemical reaction?
Why do they say feels like temperature?
Why do they say feels like temperature? The “feels like” temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold it really feels like outside. For example, skin that is exposed to wind and cold temperatures will make a person feel that it is colder outside than it really is because heat is drawn away from […]
Can atoms be broken down into smaller pieces?
Can atoms be broken down into smaller pieces? Under normal circumstances an atom can be broken down into any smaller particles, but we humans, have devised ways to break the atom apart. An atom itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. How many atoms are […]
What is the coefficient of static friction?
What is the coefficient of static friction? The coefficient of static friction is the ratio of the maximum static friction force (F) between the surfaces in contact before movement commences to the normal (N) force. How do you find the minimum coefficient of static friction? To find the minimum coefficient of static friction between two […]
Can you reproduce by budding?
Can you reproduce by budding? Budding, in biology, a form of asexual reproduction in which a new individual develops from some generative anatomical point of the parent organism. However, a number of metazoan animals (e.g., certain cnidarian species) regularly reproduce by budding. What are examples of budding? Examples of Budding Budding is a type of […]
How many PSI is a brake line?
How many PSI is a brake line? Metal brake lines must withstand 5000 psi tests, and most burst around 15,000 psi. Typical full-lock operating pressures on conventional OEM-style automotive hydraulic-brake systems are 900–1,000 psi (69 bar) with manual brakes and 1,400-plus psi (96 bar)with power-assisted brakes. Is it illegal to use compression fittings on brake […]
