What happens when a capacitor is short circuited? A short circuit here means that there is no resistance (impedance) between the two terminals of the shorted capacitor. The vertical wire drawn next to the vertical capacitor shorts the two terminals of the capacitor. This means you can ignore the shorted capacitor — it has no […]

What is the conversion factor between km H 2 and M S 2? 1 Kilometer per Hour Squared: Acceleration of 1 kilometer per hour per hour. 1 Kilometer per hour squared is equal to 1/12960 meters per second squared (SI unit). 1 km/h2 = 0.000 077 160 4938 m/s2. What is a conversion formula? The […]

Is jumping a normal force? When we jump, the chemical energy in our muscles get converted to kinetic energy that exerts a force on the ground (that using Newton’s 3rd law), will trigger a reaction that will ‘push’ us up- and thus a jump. This resultant normal force = Mass x Distance of jump. Is […]

What is dependent and independent variable in regression? The outcome variable is also called the response or dependent variable, and the risk factors and confounders are called the predictors, or explanatory or independent variables. In regression analysis, the dependent variable is denoted “Y” and the independent variables are denoted by “X”. How do you know […]

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases quizlet? As air pressure decreases altitude increases. As air pressure decreases so does density. What happens to air pressure and density as altitude increases? Altitude and Density The density of air decreases with height. There are two reasons: at higher altitudes, there is less air pushing down […]

Which element has a mass of 24? Chromium Why are lanthanides Coloured? Lanthanides or more precisely lanthanides ions are coloured mainly because of their partly filled f orbitals. This allows a certain wavelength from the visible region of the spectrum to be absorbed which leads to the formation of f-f transition. Is lanthanides are Colourless? […]

What is the net external force on an object in free fall? The net external force is just the weight of the object (F = W). Substituting into the second law equation gives: a = W / m = m * g / m = g . The acceleration (change of velocity) of the object […]

How do you decline a kiss? Let the person down easy. Look for a way to respectfully and tactfully decline. Try saying, “I’m sorry, but I’m not romantically interested in you.” Say, “I love our friendship, but I’m not ready to take it to the next level.” Say, “Thank you, but no thank you,” or […]

How liquid is measured? noun. the system of units of capacity ordinarily used in measuring liquid commodities, as milk or oil. English system: 4 gills = 1 pint; 2 pints = 1 quart; 4 quarts = 1 gallon. Metric system: 1,000 milliliters = 1 liter; 1,000 liters = 1 kiloliter (= 1 cubic meter). How […]

What is the error in saying the source of electrons? The drift velocity is the average speed of the electrons as they flow through an electric circuit. What is the error in saying the source of electrons in a circuit is the battery or generator? The source of the electrons in a circuit is the […]
