Why are glass buildings bad?

Why are glass buildings bad? Problems with glass buildings While glass buildings have been shown to cut back on heating costs due to natural sunlight, they can also cause higher than average cooling expenses to combat all that daylight. Is Glass expensive in construction? Developers and brokers say that an all-glass building will cost between […]

What are the 3 mechanisms of energy transfer?

What are the 3 mechanisms of energy transfer? The Three Mechanisms of Heat Transfer: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. What are the 4 types of energy transfer? There are 4 ways energy can be transferred; Mechanically – By the action of a force. Electrically – By an electrical current. By radiation – By Light waves or […]

How do you compare acid strengths?

How do you compare acid strengths? The bond strength of an acid generally depends on the size of the ‘A’ atom: the smaller the ‘A’ atom, the stronger the H-A bond. When going down a row in the Periodic Table (see figure below), the atoms get larger so the strength of the bonds get weaker, […]

What are the characteristics of a helicopter?

What are the characteristics of a helicopter? A helicopter is a type of aircraft that uses rotating, or spinning, wings called blades to fly. Unlike an airplane or glider, a helicopter has wings that move. Unlike a balloon, a helicopter is heavier than air and uses an engine to fly. How many types of helicopters […]

How is blood alcohol measured?

How is blood alcohol measured? To calculate BAC, the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream is measured in milligrams (mg) of alcohol per 100 milliliters (ml) of blood. It is usually expressed as a decimal such as 0.08 or 0.15. For example, a BAC of 0.10% means that an individual’s blood supply contains one part […]

Why do bimetallic strips bend?

Why do bimetallic strips bend? A bimetallic strip is made of two separate strips of metal stuck together. These two strips expand to a different extent when heated. So, when the strip is heated, one strip will be longer than the other. Therefore, the bimetallic strip will bend. What determines heat transfer direction? The distribution […]
