What is a Fourier power spectrum? The power spectrum of a time series. describes the distribution of power into frequency components composing that signal. According to Fourier analysis, any physical signal can be decomposed into a number of discrete frequencies, or a spectrum of frequencies over a continuous range. What is voltage spectrum? VSpec calculates […]

Can an electric eel power a light bulb? Electric eels can release between 10 to 850 volts, with one big jolt able to light up to a 40-watt DC light bulb. How long do electric eels live for? The average lifespan of electric eels in the wild is still unknown. In human care, males typically […]

How do I know my PNP and NPN sensor? Watch the meter display as you force the sensor to output. If the readout changes to a number between 10 and 30, then the sensor output is a PNP type, also known as “sourcing.” If the meter display remains at “0”, then the sensor output is […]

Is reduction Exergonic or Endergonic? The dehydrogenase enzyme reduces acetaldehyde to ethanol, which is an endergonic (energy-requiring) reaction: The reduction of acetaldehyde is coupled to the oxidation of NADH to NAD+, which is an exergonic reaction. Do oxidation and reduction always occur together? So oxidation and reduction always occur together; it is only mentally that […]

How does bullet kill? Concentrated into a tiny surface area at the bullet tip, it can easily break through your skin. And once it does, that energy and momentum tears through your body, ripping a hole through blood vessels, muscle, and potentially vital organs. No wonder it can kill you. Does a headshot kill instantly? […]

Which jet stream is responsible for burst of monsoon? Easterly Jet Stream How jet streams are formed? Jet streams are currents of air high above the Earth. They move eastward at altitudes of about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles). They form where large temperature differences exist in the atmosphere. Cooler, heavier air […]

How does stick flex affect your shot? The higher the flex number, the stiffer the hockey stick. Flex has a lot to do with how fast a player’s slap shot is. In the act of making a slap shot, the player will scrape the blade on the ice a few inches behind the puck. This […]

How is water turned into ice instantly? Sharply knock a bottle of supercooled liquid water on the table and it instantly turns to slushy ice before your eyes. You put a plastic bottle of soda pop or water in the freezer for a few minutes to get it ice cold. How long does it take […]

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical bar graphs? The title of the horizontal bar graph tells about the data being represented by the graph. The vertical axis represents the data categories. The horizontal axis represents the values corresponding to each data value. When using the bar graph the width of the bars must […]
