Why is there no screaming on roller coasters? No screaming on roller coasters? Not exactly. As California counties continue reopening business sectors in the wake of falling case numbers, the state’s Attractions and Parks Association recommended that park officials “mitigate the effects of shouting” on rides. Can you scream in California? The bad news is […]
Is a snow hurricane possible?
Is a snow hurricane possible? Since that time, there has been only one other confirmed snowfall event as a result of a tropical cyclone while still considered to be tropical, which was caused by Hurricane Ginny in 1963, generating accumulations of 13 in (33 cm) in Maine. Has there ever been an ice hurricane? In […]
What are the 5 factors that affect solubility?
What are the 5 factors that affect solubility? Factors affecting solubility Temperature. Basically, solubility increases with temperature. Polarity. In most cases solutes dissolve in solvents that have a similar polarity. Pressure. Solid and liquid solutes. Molecular size. Stirring increases the speed of dissolving. What are the 4 steps in the dissolving process? Introduction Step 1: […]
What can be found in the thermosphere?
What can be found in the thermosphere? In the upper thermosphere, atomic oxygen (O), atomic nitrogen (N), and helium (He) are the main components of air. Much of the X-ray and UV radiation from the Sun is absorbed in the thermosphere. When the Sun is very active and emitting more high energy radiation, the thermosphere […]
Can tension ever zero?
Can tension ever zero? Zero tension is slack. A string or rope is often idealized as one dimension, having length but being massless with zero cross section. Does negative stress mean compression? Compressive stress has stress units (force per unit area), usually with negative values to indicate the compaction. Compressive stress is defined in the […]
How do athletes get energy?
How do athletes get energy? Carbohydrates or “carbs” (found in pasta, bread, cereal, rice, grains, potatoes, fruit, vegetables, milk, yogurt, etc.) are especially important for athletes because they supply the body with glucose for energy. Extra glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen, your energy reserve. How do I get energy to […]

What light Cannot cause skin cancer?
What light Cannot cause skin cancer? Most skin cancers are caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. When you don’t protect your skin, UV rays from sunlight or tanning beds can damage your skin’s DNA. When the DNA is altered, it can’t properly control skin cell growth, leading to cancer. Can UV LED lights cause […]
What is the biggest challenge facing farmers over the next decade?
What is the biggest challenge facing farmers over the next decade? The following five challenges to the future of agriculture and food security exist on almost every continent in one form or another: constraints on resources from fossil fuel to water to phosphorus; land management problems resulting from tillage to monoculture to improper grazing practices; […]
Why does metal heat up fast?
Why does metal heat up fast? Why do metals conduct heat so well? The electrons in metal are delocalised electrons and are free moving electrons so when they gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around, this means that they can pass on the energy more quickly. Does glass or metal heat […]
