What holds a nucleus together? The strong nuclear force. At extremely short range, it is stronger than electrostatic repulsion, and allows protons to stick together in a nucleus even though their charges repel each other. Remember that the size of the nucleus is really small compared to the size of an atom. What makes a […]
What is the formula for calculating core area?
What is the formula for calculating core area? The equation you will need to use is: A = L x W. This answer will be in millimeters squared, and effective core area is always reported in millimeters squared (mm^2), so you have no factor conversion to make here. How do you find the cross sectional […]
How do we measure the depth of the sea?
How do we measure the depth of the sea? The depth of the ocean is calculated by knowing how fast sound travels in the water (approximately 1,500 meters per second). This method of seafloor mapping is called echosounding. Echosounders can use different frequencies of sound to find out different things about the ocean. What’s the […]
What will happen if we lose mangroves?
What will happen if we lose mangroves? Research shows that mangroves play a key role in carbon sequestration – removing about 1,000 tonnes of carbon per hectare – over thousands of years. The loss of mangroves contributes to nearly one-fifth of global emissions from deforestation. Climate change also affects their survival. How many mangroves are […]
How many times do pulsars spin?
How many times do pulsars spin? The fastest known millisecond pulsars can rotate more than 700 times per second. How do pulsars die? Since the light energy escapes, the production of the energy beam robs energy from the pulsar, so the pulsar’s rotation slows down (angular momentum does slowly decrease). Eventually, the pulsar dies away […]
How did the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 increase state power?
How did the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 increase state power? Welfare reform has undoubtedly greatly reduced reliance on welfare. Second, the Welfare Reform Act actually increased federal power over state welfare programs by requiring them to meet quotas or suffer severe financial penalties for failing to move enough welfare recipients off the rolls. What […]
Is electricity the movement of electrons?
Is electricity the movement of electrons? Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. Why do electrons move from negative to positive? A: Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets […]
What force pulls the moon and Earth together?
What force pulls the moon and Earth together? Gravity Is Gravity present on moon? The Moon’s surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second. The Moon’s surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. You do not have the same weight on Earth as […]
What is the difference between primary and secondary winding?
What is the difference between primary and secondary winding? The primary winding is the coil that draws power from the source. The secondary winding is the coil that delivers the energy at the transformed or changed voltage to the load. Usually, these two coils are subdivided into several coils in order to reduce the creation […]
