What two forces are balanced in any star? Gravitational forces act to contract the star. Fusion reactions and heat convection act to expand the star. The two forces are balanced and the star remains stable in size and reactions. What does it mean that the energy in the sun is balanced? What does it mean […]
What materials can you use for magnetic particle inspection?
What materials can you use for magnetic particle inspection? Common metallic materials like nickel, iron, steel, and cobalt are all ferromagnetic and perfect candidates for magnetic particle testing. Where is magnetic particle testing used? Magnetic particle inspection is used for detecting defects (discontinuities in surfaces and shallow subsurfacaes) in ferromagnetic materials. By magnetization of the […]
Is selective coordination required?
Is selective coordination required? Selective coordination is required for systems related to life safety (as defined in the NEC), and is achieved when an overcurrent on a circuit is interrupted and only the closest upstream device opens such that only the section of the electrical system with a problem is taken offline. What is selective […]
Is geothermal a source of electricity?
Is geothermal a source of electricity? Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because heat is continuously produced inside the earth. People use geothermal heat for bathing, to heat buildings, and to generate electricity. Is geothermal energy harmful to humans? When done properly, yes. As with any industrial project there are risks involved, but when […]
What happens when water cools below 4?
What happens when water cools below 4? Right when the water freezes to ice, the ice becomes significantly less dense than the water and continues to float on the lake’s surface. Below 4° Celsius, water becomes less dense as it gets colder, causing water about to freeze to float to the top. What happens when […]
How do you solve accuracy and precision?
How do you solve accuracy and precision? Find the difference (subtract) between the accepted value and the experimental value, then divide by the accepted value. To determine if a value is precise find the average of your data, then subtract each measurement from it. This gives you a table of deviations. Then average the deviations. […]
How do you find the internal diameter?
How do you find the internal diameter? Calculating the internal diameter depends on the outside diameter and the thickness of the outer circle. Find the total diameter of the object in question by taking a measurement from the outside wall of one side (the point of origination) straight across to the outside wall of the […]
What is the charge of so4?
Do divers breathe oxygen?
Do divers breathe oxygen? Contrary to popular belief, scuba divers don’t only breathe oxygen underwater. After all, we don’t breathe pure oxygen above water either. Divers go way deeper and explore much longer with mixtures such as nitrox, heliox, and hydrox as these are safer alternatives to simple compressed air. Can oxygen get you high? […]
What are protective strategies?
What are protective strategies? Protective behaviour strategies. Help the child identify who they can talk to if they don’t feel safe. Make sure the child knows what to do if they are in an unsafe situation. Kids should have their own safe place in the house – a place that is ‘theirs,’ where they can […]
