What happens when things are heated differently? When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object […]

What does the 2 stand for in li2o? The ionic formula for Lithium Oxide is Li2O . This makes oxygen a O−2 anion. Ionic bonds form when the charges between the metal cation and non-metal anion are equal and opposite. This means that two Li+2 cations will balance with one O−2 anions. What is the […]

What is the pH level of a banana? 4.50 – 5.20 What fruit has the highest pH? Here are the 13 most acidic fruits and their pH value as observed by the Clemson University: Lemon Juice (2.00 – 2.60) Limes (2.00 – 2.80) Blue Plums (2.80 – 3.40) Grapes (2.90 – 3.82) Pomegranates (2.93 – […]

Can the velocity of a particle change even if its speed is constant give examples? Give example. Yes. Even though its speed is constant, if it is not traveling in a straight line, the velocity can vary. Can an object have zero velocity but non zero acceleration? Acceleration is the change in velocity, not the […]

What is the highest on Richter scale? In theory, the Richter scale has no upper limit, but, in practice, no earthquake has ever been registered on the scale above magnitude 8.6. (That was the Richter magnitude for the Chile earthquake of 1960. The moment magnitude for this event was measured at 9.5.). Where is the […]

What products increase friction? There are two methods of increasing friction: one is by making the surfaces rough and the other by increasing the mass of the object that is moving. For example, the tyres of vehicles have treads (these are the ‘designs’ that you can see on the tyre surface), which increase the friction […]

Should you lean forward while skiing? You only need to lean forwards enough to put your centre of gravity over the middle of the ski. The reason that this has become a myth is that one of the most common mistakes made by people learning to ski, is that they lean back, and that instructors […]

What best compares radiation and conduction? The statements that best compares radiation and conduction are the following: both transfer thermal energy from warm objects to cooler objects and both can transfer energy through matter. The difference is that conduction is through direct heat transfer; whereas, radiation transfers heat through waves. What describes how radiation moves? […]

Which planet has the greatest eccentricity? Mercury How is Earth’s eccentricity calculated? The formula to determine the eccentricity of an ellipse is the distance between foci divided by the length of the major axis. What is the maximum allowed value for eccentricity? 0.057 Is Earth’s orbital eccentricity large or small? The eccentricity of Earth’s orbit […]

What is tertiary motion? Tertiary motion is sequence motion. It is determined by the specific use oi one or several ofthese transition devices: the cut, the jump cut, the dissolve, the wipe, the fade, and special transitional effects. The cut is an instantaneous change from one image to another. What are the primary motions? For […]
