Why light shines off of a mirror? A mirror is a surface that reflects light more perfectly than ordinary objects. Most objects reflect light at varying angles. This is more accurately called refraction, because the rays of light bend when they hit the object and move off in varying directions. This allows us to see […]

What does it mean if a girl says Nevermind? “Never mind.” means “I don’t really know how to explain this in a way you’ll understand.” “Nothing.” means “Something, but I’m going to test you to see how you react.” “So, who is she?” means “Okay, I’m trying really hard to not sound jealous, but I’m […]

Is Bedrock Real? Bedrock is the hard, solid rock beneath surface materials such as soil and gravel. Bedrock can extend hundreds of meters below the surface of the Earth, toward the base of Earth’s crust. The upper boundary of bedrock is called its rockhead. Above the rockhead, bedrock may be overlain with saprolite. Is Bedrock […]

Is 19 km/h wind strong? 10 to 19 km/h Weather wanes will move, leaves will rustle, and you’ll feel a breeze on your face. Situation normal. 20 to 29 km/h Strong enough to straighten flying flags and shake small tree branches. How much is 70 km in miles per hour? Convert 70 Kilometers per Hour […]

What causes hydrogen gas to glow when an electric current is passed through it? Terms in this set (62) What gives gas-filled lights their colors? An electric current passing through the gas in each glass tube makes the gas glow with its own characteristic color. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return […]

Is it safe to swim to a sandbar? The trough can be a gentle swim, but the sandbars around it can also shift to create the rip currents — channeled rushes of water pulling away from shore — that have caused so many drownings and near drownings over the years. “You are always going to […]

Is a woodchuck and a beaver the same thing? The woodchuck and the beaver belong to the same rodent species, and are closely related to the squirrel family. Though they exhibit certain resemblance like the ever-growing teeth, gnawing habits, and ability to regulate temperature, there are a lot of differences in their habitats, breeding and […]

What is the pressure at the bottom of a swimming pool that is 3 meters in depth? 29,400 pa What is the pressure at the bottom of a pool? The chart shows that 2.31 feet of water will create one PSI. So in CPO class, I ask the students: “How much pressure is at the […]

Which is best analog or digital? Digital recordings can have a greater signal-to-noise ratio depending on the bit depth of the recording. This jump in elevation can create a digital noise. The smooth analog signal matches the recorded sound wave better than the steps of a digital recording. What are the three components of a […]

What is the effect of temperature on the viscosity of liquids? The result is that liquids show a reduction in viscosity with increasing temperature. With high temperatures, viscosity increases in gases and decreases in liquids, the drag force will do the same. What is viscosity how it varies with temperature? In general, the viscosity of […]
