Is a change of temperature a chemical reaction? A change in temperature is characteristic of a chemical change. If temperature increases, as it does in most reactions, a chemical change is likely to be occurring. This is different from the physical temperature change. During a physical temperature change, one substance, such as water is being […]

How do neutrons kill? Since neutrons are scattered and absorbed by air, neutron radiation effects drop off rapidly with distance in air. The intense pulse of high-energy neutrons generated by a neutron bomb is the principal killing mechanism, not the fallout, heat or blast. Does a neutron bomb exist? A neutron bomb is actually a […]

Is it better to fast on full moon or new moon? As well as the day of the full moon and the dark night of the moon, the 2nd and 11th days in the moon’s cycle are the most suitable days for spiritual fasting, as on these days the influence of the moon is changing. […]

How do you calculate a mix ratio? Divide 1 by the total number of parts (water + solution). For example, if your mix ratio is 8:1 or 8 parts water to 1 part solution, there are (8 + 1) or 9 parts. The mixing percentage is 11.1% (1 divided by 9). How do you calculate […]

What makes hair follicles grow? Your hair begins growing from a root in the bottom of the follicle. Blood from the blood vessels in your scalp feeds the root, which creates more cells and makes the hair grow. How can I reopen my hair follicles naturally? Their proven benefits can help to stimulate growth and […]

Why is light red shifted? Light behaves like a wave, so light from a luminous object undergoes a Doppler-like shift if the source is moving relative to us. However, to be accurate, the red shifts observed in distant objects are not exactly due to the Doppler phenomenon, but are rather a result of the expansion […]

Why tidal energy is bad? Intermittent: Tidal energy can only be produce electricity during tidal surges, limiting electricity generation to 10 hours per day. Expensive: Technology for generating electricity from tidal energy is relatively new and not yet commercially profitable. Tidal power plants are also expensive to build and maintain. Why is tidal power not […]

What causes automatic transmission to jerk when shifting? Automatic transmissions that shift hard, jerk or shake during a shift change may mean your transmission fluid needs changed or fluid level is low. In manual transmission vehicles, abnormal gear shifts could indicate damaged gear synchros, worn clutches or other, more severe issues. Why does my car […]

What forces are used in a simple machine? A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. The machine can increase the amount of the output force, at the […]

What is the unit for carbon footprint? tonnes What is your water footprint? Your water footprint is the amount of water you consume in your daily life, including the water used to grow the food you eat, to produce the energy you use and for all of the products in your daily life – your […]
