What is the relationship between length and period? The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.) Is period directly proportional to […]

Is gold plating toxic? Although some of the active components in the 24K Bright Gold Plating Solution are toxic, they are present at very low concentrations in the final product. If symptoms of exposure are experienced as result of using this product, call 911 or your local emergency response number. How much is a 24K […]

What makes a pendulum stop swinging? The main reason the pendulums stop is due to air friction and the friction at the point of rotation. To see a pendulum that removes one of these sources of friction, you can see a Coriolis force clock. These are pendulums that swing but instead of being on a […]

Can you sue for IV infiltration? Most victims who have suffered a serious case of IV infiltration need to seek financial compensation through a claim or lawsuit to hold those negligent accountable for their actions. Skilled attorneys can build a strong case, proving negligence when the patient suffers serious medical complications. What does blowing a […]

Do cats run away if they are unhappy? Although in some cases cats running away is associated with anger, more often than not it is related to pure fear. Perhaps the cat just doesn’t trust you enough yet. When cats are scared, they often freeze up as an automatic reaction — causing them to bolt […]

How many types of temperature are there? The three main temperature scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Temperatures can be converted from one scale to another using temperature conversion equations. What are the different types of temperature measuring devices? 7 Basic Types of Temperature Measuring Sensors Thermocouples. Thermocouples are voltage devices that indicate temperature measurement […]

What is an autocrine factor? The ability of cancer cells to produce and to respond to their own growth factors (autocrine secretion) has become a central concept linking oncogene and growth factor research. Antagonists of positive autocrine growth factors can inhibit growth of cancer cells in experimental animals. What is the purpose of autocrine signaling? […]

What happens if you connect a car battery the wrong way round? When the jumper cables were connected backward, this fuse blew. More than one fuses can blow. Once you replace this fuse, start up the car. In most cases, the car should start right up. What happens if you put jumper cables on in […]

What is the efficiency of a Carnot engine? The Carnot Efficiency is the theoretical maximum efficiency one can get when the heat engine is operating between two temperatures: The temperature at which the high temperature reservoir operates ( THot ). The temperature at which the low temperature reservoir operates ( TCold ). What are the […]

What is the lowest math class in high school? Pre-Algebra What math comes after trigonometry? Most people take pre-calculus then calculus because they know their trig identities from pre-calculus and then those trig identities are reinforced during calculus, so they are not forgotten while they go through their calculus course. Can you take Algebra 2 […]
