Will there be a early spring 2021? In 2021, the March equinox happens on Saturday, […]

What is the relation between CP CV and R? where cp is the specific heat coefficient at constant pressure, cv is the the specific heat coefficient at constant volume, gamma is the ratio of specific heats, and R is the gas constant from the equation of state. Is gamma CP a CV? gamma = cp […]

Is it bad if an extension cord gets hot? “If the cord gets warm or hot to the touch, you may have the wrong size cord or there may be a problem with the wiring in the cord,” Dodson said. “If the cord should handle the load of the item that is plugged in and […]

How do liquids compare to density? If you weigh equal amounts or volumes of two different liquids, the liquid that weighs more is more dense. If a liquid that is less dense than water is gently added to the surface of the water, it will float on the water. If a liquid that is more […]

What are three things that affect longshore currents? When a wave breaks at a more acute (steep) angle on a beach, encounters a steeper beach slope, or is very high, longshore currents increase in velocity. Conversely, a wider breaking angle, gentler beach slope, and lower wave height slows a longshore current’s velocity. What causes long […]

What is the relationship between light and photography? The relationship between the light, the subject and the viewer is at the heart of Lighting. The photographic subject can transmit, absorb or reflect photons (light particles). What is light and why it is important to photography? Lighting is a key factor in creating a successful image. […]

What is the difference between salt and sugar dissolving in water? The oppositely charged ends of polar water molecules attract the ions and pull them away, resulting in dissolving. Sugar is made from sucrose molecules which are larger and more complex than the ions in salt (See Teacher Background Lesson 1.2). When sugar dissolved in […]

What does left curve mean? The roadway ahead curves to the left. Slow your speed and keep well to the right. The sign may be accompanied by an advisory speed placard, helping you navigate the curve safely. What are the two classification of lines? How many types of lines are there? There are two basic […]

What is Brownian motion explain with diagram? The zigzag movement of the small particles suspended in a liquid or gas is called brownian motion. The best evidence for the existence and movement of particles in liquid was given by ROBERT BROWN. On looking through the microscope, it was found that the pollen grains were moving […]
