Can we charge an insulator? Charge cannot flow along or through an insulator, so its electric forces remain for long periods of time. (Charge will dissipate from an insulator, given enough time.) Do conductors attract insulators? If the insulator started with positive charge on it, that means electrons are missing inside of it. The electrons […]
In what direction is the net force exerted on the moon?
In what direction is the net force exerted on the moon? We know from Newton’s second law of motion that an object experiencing a net force undergoes acceleration. In the case of the moon orbiting the Earth (or any object orbiting another object to which it is attracted by some force), the net force on […]
What type of research is a descriptive study?
What type of research is a descriptive study? Descriptive research is a type of research that describes a population, situation, or phenomenon that is being studied. It focuses on answering the how, what, when, and where questions If a research problem, rather than the why. What type of descriptive research study measures a population at […]
How do you know if alkene is symmetrical?
How do you know if alkene is symmetrical? A symmetrical alkene is an alkene in whose molecule the doubly bonded carbons bear the same ligands. eg. 1: In 1, each double bonded carbon bears two methyl groups. How do you identify asymmetric carbon? A carbon atom is asymmetric if it has four different chemical groups […]
What is the difference between indication and contraindication?
What is the difference between indication and contraindication? In medicine, a contraindication is a condition that serves as a reason to not take a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the patient. Contraindication is the opposite of indication, which is a reason to use a certain treatment. What are contraindications […]
How old is the oldest living thing on earth?
How old is the oldest living thing on earth? 5,000 years old What animal on earth lives the longest? Ming, a quahog clam, died at the age of 507 when researchers tried to dredge the bivalve up from Icelandic waters. The quahog’s life-span is usually about 225 years. (Also see “405-Year-Old Clam Called Longest-Lived Animal.”) […]
Who invented inches?
Who invented inches? The old English ynce was defined by King David I of Scotland about 1150 as the breadth of a man’s thumb at the base of the nail. To help maintain consistency of the unit, the measure was usually achieved by adding the thumb breadth of three men—one small, one medium, and one […]
What is the process of an electromagnet?
What is the process of an electromagnet? An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the center of the coil. […]
Can the resultant of 3 vectors be zero?
Can the resultant of 3 vectors be zero? Answer. Three vectors are coplanar which means all three vectors are in the same plane. If direction of resultant of those two vectors is exactly opposite to the direction of the third vector. If all above conditions are satisfied, then the resultant of three vectors will be […]
