How often does the House of Representatives get elected? Members of the U.S. House of Representatives serve two-year terms. All 435 members get elected every midterm and presidential election year. Why do Senators have 6 year terms? To guarantee senators’ independence from short-term political pressures, the framers designed a six-year Senate term, three times as […]
Does dark energy cause inflation?
Does dark energy cause inflation? Dark matter and dark energy may have driven inflation, the exponential expansion of the Universe moments after the Big Bang. A new cosmological model proposed by physicists, which takes dark inflation into account, is the first to outline a precise chronology of the main events during the early history of […]
What is a federally controlled water?
What is a federally controlled water? Federally controlled waters are waters on which vessels must observe federal requirements, including visual distress signal requirements. These waters include: Bodies of water connected directly to one of the above, up to a point where the body of water is less than two miles wide. What must be on […]
What are the three categories of adaptation?
What are the three categories of adaptation? There are three different types of adaptations: Behavioural – responses made by an organism that help it to survive/reproduce. Physiological – a body process that helps an organism to survive/reproduce. Structural – a feature of an organism’s body that helps it to survive/reproduce. What is a person who […]
What is an uncomfortable level of humidity?
What is an uncomfortable level of humidity? Forecasters watch the dew point, not relative humidity, because hot air can hold more moisture than cool air. At 90 degrees, we feel uncomfortable at dew points of 65-69 degrees. But the RH may be only 44 – 52 percent (half the atmosphere’s capacity). Dew points above 70 […]
How do most Heterotrophs directly contribute to the carbon cycle?
How do most Heterotrophs directly contribute to the carbon cycle? Heterotrophs acquire the high-energy carbon compounds from the autotrophs by consuming them, and breaking them down by respiration to obtain cellular energy, such as ATP. Gas exchange through the atmosphere and water is one way that the carbon cycle connects all living organisms on Earth. […]
What is Madonna the Queen of?
What is Madonna the Queen of? Madonna, the Queen of Pop, turned 62 on 16th August 2020 and has proved that age is just a number. Having been in the music industry for nearly 40 years, she is known for regularly reinventing herself as she’s become a pretty unstoppable force with Top 10 singles in […]
What happens when you separate the mixture of flour and sugar?
What happens when you separate the mixture of flour and sugar? The sugar in the flour will dissolve in the water. And the flour will continue to float on the surface of the water. Use a spoon (preferably a plastic one) to skim the flour particles from the surface of the container. Collect the flour […]
How do you calculate accelerating potential?
How do you calculate accelerating potential? The kinetic energy of an electron accelerated through a potential difference of V volts is given by the equation: ½ mv2 = eV where e is the electron charge (1.6×10-19 C) [You must be given the electron charge and Planck’s constant in order to answer this question]. What is […]
Why does voltage drop when resistance increases?
Why does voltage drop when resistance increases? Voltage and Resistance are the independent variables, the current is the dependent variable. If you increase the voltage, the current increases proportionally. If you hold the voltage constant but increase the resistance, the current decreases proportionally. What happens to the voltage if resistance increases and current is constant? […]
