How do you hand signal a right turn? For right turns, extend your left arm out the driver’s window with your elbow bent and point your hand to the sky with your palm facing forward. Again, it’s best to keep your arm in this position until you begin your right turn, just as you would […]

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.

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? […]
