This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood. How many organs are in […]

What is a Clothoid loop? A clothoid is a section of a spiral in which the radius is constantly changing. Unlike a circular loop in which the radius is a constant value, the radius at the bottom of a clothoid loop is much larger than the radius at the top of the clothoid loop. Why […]

How did Tilly know it was a tsunami? “What’s a tsunami?” her mother asked. Tilly explained that she had learned about tsunamis at school a few weeks ago. “They are strong waves caused by undersea earthquakes,” she said. “And they travel very fast.

What are 2 types of thermal energy? The three types of thermal energy transfer are conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction involves direct contact of atoms, convection involves the movement of warm particles and radiation involves the movement of electromagnetic waves. What will happen to Earth if there is no source of heat? Without the Sun’s […]

How do you find order of magnitude? Order of magnitude is usually written as 10 to the nth power. The n represents the order of magnitude. If you raise a number by one order of magnitude, you are basically multiplying that number by 10. If you decrease a number by one order of magnitude, you […]

If you don’t have your Brake Fluid changed as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer this will lead to Moisture Contamination in your brake reservoir where the Brake Fluid is stored. When you don’t change your brake fluid, your cars braking capabilities suffer greatly for it leading to […]

Is there a lava planet? There are no known lava worlds in the Solar System and the existence of extrasolar lava planets remains theoretical. Several known exoplanets are likely lava worlds, given their small enough masses, sizes, and orbits. Likely lava exoplanets include COROT-7b, Kepler-10b, and Kepler-78b. Who named Uranus the planet? Johann Elert Bode […]

How do birds stay in the air? Flapping: When birds flap, the stroke of their downbeat moves the wing tips forward and downward. And as they move forward, the rush of air on their airfoil wings causes more lift. But because flapping birds have smaller wings than soaring birds, they must move forward faster to […]

What are 2 types of organelles? 6 Cell Organelles Nucleus. nucleus; animal cell. Ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. Endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes on the outer surface of the endoplasmic reticulum play an important role in protein synthesis within cells. Golgi apparatus. Golgi apparatus. Chloroplasts. chloroplast structure. Mitochondria. Why do some organelles have […]

How long do lead aprons last? 10 years How often should lead aprons be checked? Lead aprons should be checked fluoroscopically at least on an annual basis for their shielding integrity. Rejecting an apron depends on the location, area size and number of flaws. It is best to keep the number of flaws to a […]
