What will happen if a bar magnet is broken in two pieces and why? If a bar magnet is broken into two pieces, each piece will behave as an individual magnet because the new poles are formed at the broken ends. If these pieces are broken further, the smaller pieces still remains as individual magnets […]

What do bacteria use for movement? flagellum What are two foods that bacteria help make? Bacteria are used to make food, such as cheese and yogurt, and they can also help us break down harmful substances in the environment. Scientists created a type of bacteria that could gobble up oil from oil spills. What are […]

What is the difference between reflective and reflexive? Reflection might lead to insight about something not noticed in time, pinpointing perhaps when the detail was missed. Reflexivity is finding strategies to question our own attitudes, thought processes, values, assumptions, prejudices and habitual actions, to strive to understand our complex roles in relation to others. What […]

Under which condition is no work done a force pushes an object? The force exerted by the person is an upward force equal to the weight of the box, and that force is perpendicular to the motion. If there is no motion in the direction of the force, then no work is done by that […]

What is the maximum displacement in SHM? Maximum displacement is the amplitude A. The angular frequency ω , period T, and frequency f of a simple harmonic oscillator are given by ω=√km ω = k m , T=2π√mk,andf=12π√km T = 2 π m k , and f = 1 2 π k m , where […]

How much HF is lethal? Hydrofluoric acid is one of the strongest acids known that has a strong lipophilic ability. Ingestions of more than 20 mg/kg body weight are considered a lethal dose. Even after dermal exposure, the fatal prognosis is caused by severe electrolyte disturbances, especially hypocalcemia. What does an HF burn feel like? […]

How much force does it take to move a railcar? First, a force of 2 to 5 pounds per ton of train weight is required to move on straight level track. At very slow yard speeds only 2 to 3 pounds is needed while increasing to about 5 pounds at higher speeds. This force is […]

What is the Bergeron process in simple terms? The process by which precipitation is initiated in a mixed cloud with a temperature below freezing. Because the equilibrium vapour pressure of water vapour with respect to ice is less than that with respect to liquid water, ice crystals grow at the expense of supercooled water droplets. […]

Which Jovian planets have rings? All Jovian planets have rings: Jupiter: faint, dusty rings. Saturn: bright, spectacular rings. Uranus: dark, thin rings. Neptune: dark, thin rings & ring arcs. How does Jupiter generates its internal heat? Internal Heat The jovian planets get their heat from the Sun and from their interiors. Jupiter creates a lot […]

What is the derivative of x? The derivative of a function y = f(x) of a variable x is a measure of the rate at which the value y of the function changes with respect to the change of the variable x. What does f ‘( x mean? The expression “f (x)” means “a formula, […]
