How does electrostatic occur? Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged. The rubbing of certain materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons. […]
What will happen if the air pressure increases?
What will happen if the air pressure increases? For example, if air pressure increases, the temperature must increase. If air pressure decreases, the temperature decreases. It also explains why air gets colder at higher altitudes, where pressure is lower. Which prediction is most likely when the air pressure increases? If air pressure rises, a high […]
Can light be a reference frame?
Can light be a reference frame? In all reference frames that actually exist, light travels through space and time in a normal way just like any other object. According to Special Relativity, as a frame goes faster, it shortens more in the direction of motion, relative to the stationary observer. How did Einstein know that […]

Which mineral test is shown in the image 2 points image showing minerals that have been rubbed against a white board leaving different colored lines on the board? Streak test is a method to determine what color would the mineral had if it’s being transformed into a powdered form. This test is being done by […]
What is the change in momentum of a 3 kg object accelerating from rest to 12 m s?
Can two electrons attract each other?
Can two electrons attract each other? Show animations and explain that protons and electrons have opposite charges and attract each other. Project the animation Protons and Electrons. Explain to students that two protons repel each other and that two electrons repel each other. But a proton and an electron attract each other. What happens when […]
Did Newton agree with Galileo?
Did Newton agree with Galileo? Galileo determined the laws of gravity and explored the laws of motion on earth. Newton first conclusively affirmed the laws of motion and linked them with Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. Galileo had suggested this, but was censored by the Church before he was able to do further work to […]
What is the most reliable way to identify a mineral?
What is the most reliable way to identify a mineral? The most reliable way to identify a mineral using color is the streak test. It is more reliable because even though the color of a specimen can vary its streak is usually the same. Which properties are used to identify minerals select 3 choices? Magnetism, […]
What happens if you get caught climbing the pyramids?
What happens if you get caught climbing the pyramids? According to Ahram Online, an Egyptian newspaper, Egypt’s parliament made it illegal last year for anyone to climb “any antiquity without obtaining a license.” The penalty for doing so can be up to a month in jail and/or a fine ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 Egyptian […]
