What property of exoplanets will affect the amount of wobble that is detected? We all know that the chains of gravity shackle a planet to its star. That star’s enormous gravitational influence keeps its planetary family in orbit. But gravity works both ways: as the planets sweep around in their orbits, they tug on their […]
What are the symptoms of too much calcium in your blood?
What are the symptoms of too much calcium in your blood? What are the symptoms of a high calcium level? Loss of appetite. Nausea and vomiting. Constipation and abdominal (belly) pain. The need to drink more fluids and urinate more. Tiredness, weakness, or muscle pain. Confusion, disorientation, and difficulty thinking. Headaches. Depression. What foods to […]
What is the direction of velocity in circular motion?
What is the direction of velocity in circular motion? We will see that unlike linear motion, where velocity and acceleration are directed along the line of motion, in circular motion the direction of velocity is always tangent to the circle. This means that as the object moves in a circle, the direction of the velocity […]
What is a DNA code?
What is a DNA code? The DNA code contains instructions needed to make the proteins and molecules essential for our growth, development and health. The cell reads the DNA code in groups of three bases. Each triplet of bases, also called a codon, specifies which amino acid? will be added next during protein synthesis. What […]
Is there a natural law?
Is there a natural law? Natural law holds that there are universal moral standards that are inherent in humankind throughout all time, and these standards should form the basis of a just society. Human beings are not taught natural law per se, but rather we “discover” it by consistently making choices for good instead of […]
What is the formula for relative speed?
Does lowering a car increase drag?
Does lowering a car increase drag? Lowered vehicles are more aerodynamic. There’s less air hitting the wheels and tires (that are not streamlined shapes). This makes these cars faster. BUT, lowering a car too much will actually increase wind drag. Why is it important to reduce vehicles drag? Automotive manufacturers are placing a growing emphasis […]
What has disrupted the carbon cycle in the last 150 years?
What has disrupted the carbon cycle in the last 150 years? Since the industrial revolution in the 19th century, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen by 30%. Scientists have shown that this increase in carbon dioxide is a result of human activities that have occurred over the last 150 years, including the burning of […]
What are the examples of prefixes?
What are the examples of prefixes? A prefix is a group of letters placed before the root of a word. For example, the word “unhappy” consists of the prefix “un-” [which means “not”] combined with the root (or stem) word “happy”; the word “unhappy” means “not happy.” What are common prefixes? 12 Common Prefixes and […]
Is isolated ground necessary?
Is isolated ground necessary? An isolated ground, if installed correctly, can reduce some electrical noise. However, complete power conditioning and protection usually requires additional devices such as a surge protector or an uninterruptible power supply. If the receptacle is not installed correctly, it can create a dangerous installation. What is the difference between a grounded […]
