Does the initial velocity affect acceleration? Initial velocity is independent of the slope of the graph; that is, the acceleration. Does a heavier object hit the ground first? In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both […]
Why do they say feels like temperature?
Why do they say feels like temperature? The “feels like” temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold it really feels like outside. For example, skin that is exposed to wind and cold temperatures will make a person feel that it is colder outside than it really is because heat is drawn away from […]
How do you know if a gas is produced in a chemical reaction?
Are combustion engines more efficient?
Are combustion engines more efficient? How efficient are engines? Combustion engines are stupefyingly inefficient. Most diesel engines do not even have a thermal efficiency of 50%. Of every gallon of diesel burned by a combustion engine, less than half of the energy generated becomes mechanical energy. How long will internal combustion engines be around? The […]
Is a piece of information that is used to support a main idea?
Is a piece of information that is used to support a main idea? Evidence. Evidence is any piece of information used to support an idea or argument. Although evidence is not necessarily based in quantifiable fact, it is used to reinforce the idea of an argument, topic sentence, or main idea. When you look for […]
How many PSI is a brake line?
How many PSI is a brake line? Metal brake lines must withstand 5000 psi tests, and most burst around 15,000 psi. Typical full-lock operating pressures on conventional OEM-style automotive hydraulic-brake systems are 900–1,000 psi (69 bar) with manual brakes and 1,400-plus psi (96 bar)with power-assisted brakes. Is it illegal to use compression fittings on brake […]
Does energy have momentum?
Does energy have momentum? Light indeed carries energy via its momentum despite having no mass. Public Domain Image, source: Christopher S. Baird. In the above equation, E is the total energy of the particle, p is the momentum of the particle (which is related to its motion), c is the speed of light, and m […]
What is the L quantum number?
Can tsunamis be stopped?
Can tsunamis be stopped? Tsunamis could be stopped before they hit the coastline, a Welsh mathematician has proposed in a study of deep-ocean sound waves. Dr Usama Kadri, from Cardiff University’s School of Mathematics, has suggested that firing deep-ocean sound waves at an oncoming tsunami could save lives and reduce on-shore damage. What disaster will […]
What is range of normal distribution?
What is range of normal distribution? The area under each curve is one but the scaling of the X axis is different. Note, however, that the areas to the left of the dashed line are the same. The BMI distribution ranges from 11 to 47, while the standardized normal distribution, Z, ranges from -3 to […]
