Captain John Smith never married Pocahontas. Pocahontas married Master John Rolfe in 1614.. What did the real John […]

What is able to melt the snow? Paraffin wax can help the roads melt snow on their own because of its nature. Made up of paraffin oil, it’s a phase change material, meaning as it moves from an liquid to a solid (as it cools down) it releases a thermal heat. Does rain melt lake […]

When we push a wall no work is done? In this case the wall does not displace from its position even though the force is applied and since displacement is zero work done is said to be zero. Is pushing against a wall work? Note that forces without motion do no work. For example, if […]

Which nerve sends to brain? For example, sensory neurons send information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body. Which finger connects to brain nerve? The fingers of our right hand are controlled by our Left brain while […]

What causes thermal noise? Thermal noise is generated as a result of thermal agitation of the charge carriers which are typically electrons within an electrical conductor. This vibration is dependent upon the temperature – the higher the temperature, the higher the agitation and hence the thermal noise level. How is thermal noise calculated? The magnitude […]

Does Russia still use the Red Star? State military units The Russian Air Force used this star as a roundel up to 2013, when Russia re-instated the Soviet-era red star. As of 2014 the Armed Forces of Belarus still use the old Soviet red star. What is the race of a Russian? The Russians (Russian: […]

Which fluid is present in ear? Endolymph is the fluid contained in the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear. The major cation in endolymph is potassium, with the values of sodium and potassium concentration in the endolymph being 0.91 mM and 154 mM, respectively. It is also called Scarpa’s fluid, after Antonio Scarpa. What does […]

What are the pros and cons of no-till farming? Here’s a short list of no-till pros and cons. Pro: Savings. Con: Special Equipment Costs. Pro: Water Conservation. Con: Fungal Disease. Pro: Less Herbicide Runoff. Con: More Herbicides. Pro: Higher Crop Yields. Con: You Need Patience. What are the disadvantages of no-till farming? Disadvantages With no-till […]

Why do clothes get wet? When light strikes any surface, some of it is reflected back into our eyes. But damp clothes have a thin layer of water on their surface (held in place by the material’s roughness), which leads to more of the reflected light rays being bent – ‘refracted’ – off-course. When a […]

How do you get activation energy? Activation Energy Problem Step 1: Convert temperatures from degrees Celsius to Kelvin. T = degrees Celsius + 273.15. T1 = 3 + 273.15. Step 2 – Find Ea ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R x (1/T1 – 1/T2) Answer: The activation energy for this reaction is 4.59 x 104 J/mol or 45.9 […]
