How do you classify a non-flowering plant? There are two main groups of non-flowering plants. Plants that use spores to reproduce and plants that use seeds to reproduce. The non-flowering plants that use seeds are called gymnosperms. Gymnosperm means “naked seeds”. What is an example of a non-flowering plant? Examples of some of the most […]
Why does pressure only depend on depth?
Why does pressure only depend on depth? Pressure within a liquid depends only on the density of the liquid, the acceleration due to gravity, and the depth within the liquid. The pressure exerted by such a static liquid increases linearly with increasing depth. How do I calculate the depth of my water tank? Tank Volume […]
Are heat lamps safe outside?
Are heat lamps safe outside? Electrical smarts: Plug your heat lamp into an AFCI or GFCI-equipped outlet that can handle its wattage, and keep it sheltered from water. (Outdoors, make sure it’s designed to be used outside, and that it’s safe from wind and weather.) How do you keep ducklings warm without a lamp? Having […]
What are the functions of the four lobes of the cerebral cortex?
What are the functions of the four lobes of the cerebral cortex? Each side of your brain contains four lobes.

Do I weigh less when the moon is overhead?
Do I weigh less when the moon is overhead? When the moon is directly overhead, you will weigh slightly less. The gravitational force of the Moon acting directly above the object reduces the gravitational force of Earth a little. This is the reason, Weight (force of gravity acting on the object) reduces when Moon is […]
