Is the Milky Way going to collide with Andromeda? Previous simulations have suggested that Andromeda and the Milky Way are scheduled for a head-on collision in about 4 billion to 5 billion years. But the new study estimates that the two star groups will swoop closely past each other about 4.3 billion years from now […]

What animals are extinct due to climate change? Here’s a list of 10 species that may become extinct due to climate change. Polar Bear. Ringed Seal. Monarch Butterfly. Atlantic Cod. […]
Where is the potential energy of a simple pendulum is maximum?
Where is the potential energy of a simple pendulum is maximum? At maximum displacement from the equilibrium point, potential energy is a maximum while kinetic energy is zero. At the equilibrium point the potential energy is zero and the kinetic energy is a maximum. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the pendulum? The kinetic […]
How many receptors do we have?
How many receptors do we have? Research published in the May 11, 2017, issue of the journal Science suggests that humans can discriminate among 1 trillion different odors; it was once believed that humans could take in only 10,000 different smells. Humans have 400 smelling receptors. What are the four basic touch receptors? Within the […]
Does water have the same mass as water vapor?
What direction do convection currents move?
What direction do convection currents move? 1 Answer. Actually the convection currents are thought to move both left and right as they reach the surface. Why do convection currents turn left? Also this point is where the fluid in the convection begins to heat up, before rising to point B where it cools. This causes […]
Why do we use scientific names?
Why do we use scientific names? Scientific names are informative Every recognized species on earth (at least in theory) is given a two-part scientific name. This system is called “binomial nomenclature.” These names are important because they allow people throughout the world to communicate unambiguously about animal species. What are the four functions of scientific […]
What is standard of measurement?
What is standard of measurement? In metrology (the science of measurement), a standard (or etalon) is an object, system, or experiment that bears a defined relationship to a unit of measurement of a physical quantity. Standards are the fundamental reference for a system of weights and measures, against which all other measuring devices are compared. […]
How does a contact switch work?
How does a contact switch work? The Contact Switch performs the switch function by mechanically switching contact points. The products adopting the Contact Switch include the Micro Switch, Limit Switch and Electromagnetic Relay. On the other hand, the products using the Non-contact Switch include the Solid State Relay (SSR). What is a normally closed contact? […]
Which is stronger neap or spring tides?
Which is stronger neap or spring tides? Spring tides have higher high tides and lower low tides whereas neap tides have lower high tides and higher low tides. Hence, the range (difference in water level between high and low tide) is much larger in a spring tide than in a low tide. What months do […]
