Does drag force increase as velocity increases? The downward force of gravity remains constant regardless of the velocity at which the person is moving. However, as the person’s velocity increases, the magnitude of the drag force increases until the magnitude of the drag force is equal to the gravitational force, thus producing a net force […]

How many valence electrons are present in the sodium atom? one valence electron How many valence electrons are present in sodium? Why does sodium have one valence electron? Sodium has one valence electron. The element has a full innermost electron shell of two electrons and a full shell of eight electrons in the next shell. […]

What is the most reliable way to identify a mineral? The most reliable way to identify a mineral using color is the streak test. It is more reliable because even though the color of a specimen can vary its streak is usually the same. Which properties are used to identify minerals select 3 choices? Magnetism, […]

What does the summer solstice mean spiritually? Here, at the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, we are fully awake. Our spirits are alive, refreshed, renewed, energized; all that good, juicy, rich stuff we feel in the sun. On these long days of summer our spirits yearn to be out, to feel alive, […]

Can you feel when your brain is touched? How much you empathize with other people seems to reflect how strongly your brain—your primary somatosensory cortex—“feels with” them when you see them being touched. Of course, all these claims require further investigation. And, of course, empathy is a complex phenomenon. Does the brain touch the skull? […]

Can two electrons attract each other? Show animations and explain that protons and electrons have opposite charges and attract each other. Project the animation Protons and Electrons. Explain to students that two protons repel each other and that two electrons repel each other. But a proton and an electron attract each other. What happens when […]

What frequency makes you smarter? The highest frequency brain waves are apparently called gamma waves. These waves can have a frequency of anywhere between 25 and 100 Hz. People whose brains produce more gamma waves are said to have greater ability to concentrate, focus and experience higher levels of cognition. Will reading increase IQ? It […]

What is the purpose of a spectrograph? A spectrograph is an instrument that separates incoming light by its wavelength or frequency and records the resulting spectrum in some kind of multichannel detector, like a photographic plate. Many astronomical observations use telescopes as, essentially, spectrographs. What are spectral features of an image? Spectral features of images, […]

What are 3 physical properties of nickel? Properties Of Nickel Nickel is silvery-white, hard, malleable, and ductile metal. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity. It is bivalent, that is it has a valency of two. The metal dissolves slowly in dilute acids. It’s melting point is 1453 °C and boiling point is […]

Can depreciation be deferred? Depreciation is the loss in value an asset sustains over its useful life. However, depreciation can not be deferred. Why is depreciation a deferred tax liability?
