Is anyone lost in space? A total of 18 people have lost their lives either while in space or in preparation for a space mission, in four separate incidents. Given the risks involved in space flight, this number is surprisingly low. The two worst disasters both involved NASA’s space shuttle. What are the risks of […]

What are two main sources of the sediment that rivers and streams carry? The two main sources of the sediment carried by the streams and rivers are from the mass movement and runoff. What is the largest river on Earth? Nile River Which is the smallest river in the world? Roe River Which country has […]
What are the basic differences and similarities between a generator and an electric motor What are the basic differences and similarities between a generator and an electric motor?
What are the basic differences and similarities between a generator and an electric motor What are the basic differences and similarities between a generator and an electric motor? Both the motor and generator are similar in construction; they consist of a stator and rotor parts. However, in a motor, electrical energy is the input, while […]

How does the shockwave of an explosion kill?
How does the shockwave of an explosion kill? Blast Effects Most damage comes from the explosive blast. The shock wave of air radiates outward, producing sudden changes in air pressure that can crush objects, and high winds that can knock objects down. For the most part, a nuclear blast kills people by indirect means rather […]

What are the sources of error in this experiment?
What are the sources of error in this experiment? You are measuring against a standard, using an instrument that can never perfectly duplicate the standard, plus you’re human, so you might introduce errors based on your technique. The three main categories of errors are systematic errors, random errors, and personal errors. What is meant by […]
Do bulbs in series have the same brightness?
Do bulbs in series have the same brightness? Placing cells in series increases the voltage in the circuit by 1.5 V for each cell. Increasing the number of bulbs in a series circuit decreases the brightness of the bulbs. In a series circuit, the voltage is equally distributed among all of the bulbs. Bulbs in […]
What is flux in electric field?
What is flux in electric field? Electric flux, property of an electric field that may be thought of as the number of electric lines of force (or electric field lines) that intersect a given area. The negative flux just equals in magnitude the positive flux, so that the net, or total, electric flux is zero. […]
