How do bones muscles and joints work together? Muscles can pull bones, but they can’t push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint. Then, when the movement is completed, the flexor relaxes and the extensor contracts to […]

What is the charge on the other plate of the capacitor? Capacitors do not store charge. Capacitors actually store an imbalance of charge. If one plate of a capacitor has 1 coulomb of charge stored on it, the other plate will have −1 coulomb, making the total charge (added up across both plates) zero. How […]

Which is equal to 0.0079 in scientific notation? Therefore, the decimal number 0.0079 written in scientific notation is 7.9 × 10-3 and it has 2 significant figures. What is the scientific notation for 140000000? Why is 140,000 written as 1.4 x 105 in scientific notation? How do you write 0.72 in scientific notation? Therefore, the […]

Which ocean has strongest currents? Antarctic Circumpolar Current What happens if deep ocean currents stop? The ocean currents carry warmth from the tropics up to these places, which would no longer happen. If the currents were to stop completely, the average temperature of Europe would cool 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. There would also be […]

What is the difference between amplitude and frequency modulation? The main difference between both modulations is that in frequency modulation, the frequency of the carrier wave is modified as per the transmit data, while in amplitude modulation, the carrier wave is modified according to the data. What is the frequency of AM? The frequency band […]

Why does your hair stand on end when you touch a Van de Graaff? When the Van de Graaff generator starts charging, it transfers the charge to the person who is touching it. Since the person’s hair follicles are getting charged to the same potential, they try to repel each other. This is why the […]

How do machines help us in everyday life? Simple machines make the things in everyday life work. These simple machines are used in more complex devices every day, making tasks much easier. Simple Machines. Simple machines make tasks simpler by reducing the amount of effort it takes for humans to perform certain tasks. What are […]

What is the side of your eye called? Iris: the colored part. Cornea: a clear dome over the iris. Pupil: the black circular opening in the iris that lets light in. Sclera: the white of your eye. Is the black part of your eye a hole? The pupil is a black hole located in the […]

What type of meter is 3 2? 3/2 and 3/8 are also simple triple. 4/4 time is classified as simple quadruple due to its four beats which can be divided into two notes. 4/2 and 4/8 are also simple quadruple. Notice that a time signature in simple meter will always have a 2, 3, or […]

What is the permittivity of a medium? Definition of Permittivity The approximate value for permittivity is 8.85 X 10-12 Faraday/meter, which is found in vacuum medium. The permittivity measures the number of charges needed for generating a unit of electric flux in a specific channel. What is electric intensity in physics? What is Electric Field […]
