Does acceleration due to gravity depend on mass? The acceleration due to gravity does not depend on the mass of the object falling, but the force it feels, and thus the object’s weight, does. Why does mass resist acceleration? The more mass an object has the more weight it will have. Weight is caused by […]
Can we charge an insulator?
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?

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 […]

Does anything have 100 efficiency?
Does anything have 100 efficiency? A system can never be 100% efficient. The reason behind this is because of heat and sound energy are lost in some amount in every system. No matter they are waste or not. So a system doesn’t exist, with 100% efficiency. Is human body energy efficient? Alas, our bodies are […]
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 […]
