Why electric field is created? Electric fields originate from electric charges, or from time-varying magnetic fields. The electric field is defined mathematically as a vector field that associates to each point in space the (electrostatic or Coulomb) force per unit of charge exerted on an infinitesimal positive test charge at rest at that point. What […]

What is the relationship between speed and torque? Torque is the rotational equivalence of linear force. Speed measures the distance covered in unit time. The relation between torque and speed are inversely proportional to each other. The torque of a rotating object can be mathematically written as the ratio of power and angular velocity. Why […]

Is a motorcycle a mechanical energy? Mechanical energy usually means the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy. So when you ride your bike you hope that the muscular (chemical) energy is converted mainly into mechanical energy. Unfortunately friction will produce heat and sound and will reduce the amount of mechanical energy that you […]

What is the importance of our nature? Why it’s important that we value nature Our forests, rivers, oceans and soils provide us with the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we irrigate our crops with. We also rely on them for numerous other goods and services we depend on for our health, […]

How much does it cost to fix a temperature gauge? To have this sensor replaced, you will pay somewhere between $95 and $140, depending both on the car you have and the mechanic’s fees. The labor should cost between $60 and $80, while parts can cost as little as $35 or as much as $65. […]

Is nuclear power bad for the environment? “Nuclear energy has perhaps the lowest impact on the environment — including air, land, water, and wildlife — of any energy source. It produces no harmful greenhouse gases, isolates its waste from the environment, and requires less area to produce the same amount of electricity as other sources. […]

What are seasons caused by? Seasons occur because Earth is tilted on its axis relative to the orbital plane, the invisible, flat disc where most objects in the solar system orbit the sun. Earth’s axis is an invisible line that runs through its center, from pole to pole. Earth rotates around its axis. What causes […]

At what temperature does road salt become ineffective? 10 degrees Is 34 degrees too cold for plants? Frost Advisory – This is when the temperature is expected to fall to 36 degrees to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Light freeze – 29° to 32° Fahrenheit will kill tender plants. Moderate freeze – 25° to 28° Fahrenheit is […]

What is the most common rock found in Canada? Igneous rock (granite, gneiss) forms when molten rock cools. The Canadian Shield’s igneous base abounds in copper, gold, iron, and nickel. Sedimentary rock (sandstone, limestone) consists of hardened layers of rock particles. Beneath the Prairies, sedimentary layers store oil, gas, and coal. What are the major […]

Which brand of AA battery lasts the longest? Energizer Ultimate Lithium Can I use AA batteries instead of AAA? All the same voltage, so all can substitute for each other. Larger cells just sag less and last longer. Do 18650 batteries explode? The safety problem of 18650 lithium-ion battery is burning or even exploding. The […]
