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 the youngest province in Virginia? Coastal Plain Which Virginia province has the most karst topography? Valley and Ridge province What is the largest province in Virginia? Piedmont Which Virginia province has the highest elevation? Mount Rogers is the highest natural point in Virginia, United States, with a summit elevation of 5,729 feet (1,746 […]

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 […]

How can groundwater erosion be prevented? mulch. Using straw, wood chips, saw dust, or some other material as ground cover can limit the effects of erosion until plants or crops can grow to the point of protecting the soil themselves. Are caves formed by erosion? Corrasional or erosional caves are those that form entirely by […]

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 […]

When the economy is at full employment the unemployment rate is zero? Full employment does not mean zero unemployment, it means cyclical unemployment rate is zero. At this rate, job seekers are equal to job openings. This is also called the natural rate of unemployment (Un) where real GDP is at its potential GDP. When […]

How do humans use radiant energy? Heat created by the body can be radiant energy. A surface heated by the sun converts the energy of the light into infrared energy which is a form of radiant energy. Cell phones utilize radiant energy to function. Magnetic motor generators that utilize neodymium magnets create radiant energy. What […]

What is the final velocity when a body is dropped from a height? Answer: final velocity of the object will be 0 m/s. What is the initial velocity when a body is dropped from a height? Initial velocity of a body when dropped from a height is zero, i.e., u=0. When an object is dropped […]

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 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 […]
