Does kinetic energy increase temperature? When the temperature of an object increases, the average kinetic energy of its particles increases. When the average kinetic energy of its particles increases, the object’s thermal energy increases. Therefore, the thermal energy of an object increases as its temperature increases. Is kinetic energy dependent on temperature? Temperature affects the […]

How many elements are there in the transition metals? 35 elements What group number is transition metals? Many scientists describe a “transition metal” as any element in the d-block of the periodic table, which includes groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table. In actual practice, the f-block lanthanide and actinide series are also considered […]

Which way is lefthand thread? Screw handedness refers to the direction that a screw’s thread wraps around its shaft. Right-handed threads run clockwise, and left-handed threads run counterclockwise. Are crank arms reverse thread? Remember, the left pedal spindle is reverse threaded. Turn it clockwise to remove the pedal when facing the crank arm. The right […]

What plants are in the tropical dry forest? Drought-resistant epiphytes (orchids, bromeliads and cacti) may be abundant. The trees have thicker, more ridged, bark; deeper roots without buttresses; much more variable leaves, including many compound-leaved legumes; and more species with thorns. How do humans affect the tropical dry forest? Deforestation and farming land for cattle […]

What are 3 types of weathering? It does not involve the removal of rock material. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical and biological. What are the 5 main causes of physical weathering? Physical weathering, also known as mechanical weather, is the process of rocks and minerals on Earth’s surface breaking down or dissolving […]

What is the myth behind Draco? In the myth, Draco represents Ladon, the dragon that guarded the golden apples in the gardens of the Hesperides. The golden apple tree was a wedding present to Hera when she married Zeus. She planted the tree in her garden on Mount Atlas and tasked Atlas’ daughters, the Hesperides, […]

Which of the following is a correct pair between the name and function of organelles? Hence, the correct answer is ‘Golgi apparatus: Modification and glycosylation of proteins’. Was this answer helpful? What are the 3 differences between plant and animal cells? Major structural differences between a plant and an animal cell include: Plant cells have […]

What happens when you overcharge a capacitor? Once a capacitor has more than rated voltage applied to it the chances for a catastrophic even increase. The first signs of overvoltage are a swelling of the capacitor case and leakage of the electrolyte ( in the case of a capacitor with an electrolyte such as aluminum […]

Is it possible for humans to walk on water? There’s a simple reason you can’t walk on water: Humans are so big that the force of gravity overcomes the so-called surface tension of water, making us sink. By vigorously rowing along the surface, striders create swirls that help propel them forward, all without rupturing the […]
