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 […]

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 […]

Is rural living safe?
Is rural living safe? Compared to cities and suburban areas, rural locations are the most dangerous places to live. A study found that “your risk of death is actually about 22 percent higher in the most rural counties in America than in the most urban ones.” Death rates in the exurbs are higher for a […]
Is humidity affected by temperature?
Is humidity affected by temperature? Home humidity has a number of effects on temperature, indoor air quality, health and the structural elements of your house. Temperature affects how much moisture can exist as humidity in the air, but humidity also has an effect on temperature. Humid air holds heat more efficiently than dry air. Does […]
How do you identify uranium?

The most common isotopes in natural uranium are 238U (99.27%) and 235U (0.72%). What is the most common use for uranium? A radioactive, silvery metal. Uranium is a very important element […]
What makes the taiga unique?
What makes the taiga unique? The taiga has several characteristics that distinguish it from the other forest biomes: Evergreen trees – This forest is covered with evergreen, or coniferous, trees.
