What is the difference between explosion and spontaneous combustion? The combustion in which substances suddenly burst into flames, without the application of any apparent cause is called spontaneous combustion. The combustion in which sudden reactions take place on ignition of some substances to produce heat, light, and sound is called explosion. Is combustion spontaneous or […]
How do you make fabric self healing?
How do you make fabric self healing? To obtain the self healing property, materials are dipped into squid teeth proteins, which were turned into a liquid form using yeast and bacteria. This coating process can be applied to a finished garment or to the threads first, before manufacturing. This simple procedure has a large impact […]
What are the side lengths of a 30 60 90 Triangle?
How many electrons does a 60 watt light bulb pass per second?
How long are muscle fibers?
How long are muscle fibers? Muscle fibers are typically large cells, some 20–100 μm in diameter and many centimeters long, with the longest fibers being about 12 cm. These cells are multinucleated, because they need many nuclei to govern protein synthesis and degradation. Does drinking water make muscles look bigger? This surge of fluids causes […]
Which is the basic unit of matter?
Which is the basic unit of matter? In turn, the atom is the fundamental unit of matter…, that is, of an element. The number of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons in an atomic nucleus account for most of the mass of an atom. Each negatively charged electron that orbits a nucleus is about 1/2000th […]
Who is credited with creating the first periodic table?
Who is credited with creating the first periodic table? British chemist John Newlands was the first to arrange the elements into a periodic table with increasing order of atomic masses. He found that every eight elements had similar properties and called this the law of octaves. How did Moseley establish more accurate periodic table? by […]
Can you still drive if power steering fails?
Can you still drive if power steering fails? Driving your car for extended periods without power steering fluid can damage the pump. While there’s nothing that physically stops you from driving your car if you have a power steering fluid leak, once the level drops, your pump runs dry. This causes increased friction and heat […]
What type of reaction forms disulfide bonds?
What type of reaction forms disulfide bonds? Disulfide bonds in proteins are formed between the thiol groups of cysteine residues by the process of oxidative folding. The other sulfur-containing amino acid, methionine, cannot form disulfide bonds. How are disulfide bonds broken? Disulfide bonds can be broken by addition of reducing agents. The most common agents […]
Is solid light possible?
Is solid light possible? Solid light, often referred to in media as “hard light” or “hard-light”, is a hypothetical material, made of light in a solidified state. It has been theorized that this could exist, and experiments claim to have created solid photonic matter or molecules by inducing strong interaction between photons. Can we produce […]
