How do you strengthen a magnet? Place your weak magnet within the magnetic field of a much stronger magnet. Setting it right next to the magnet will produce the best result. The stronger magnet will actually help realign electrons that have spun out of axis since it’s creation. Stroke the weak magnet with your larger, […]

Are peppered moths still black?
Are peppered moths still black? By 1970, in some polluted regions nearly 99 percent of peppered moths were now black. Still, scientists were puzzled as to how the black moths first came into being. Until now, that is. Researchers in England have traced the difference between a typica and carbonaria moth to a genetic tweak. […]
Can you get a shock from an earth wire?
Can you get a shock from an earth wire? You would get an electric shock if the live wire inside an appliance, such as a cooker, came loose and touched the metal casing. However, the earth terminal is connected to the metal casing so that the current goes through the earth wire instead of causing […]
What are the characteristics of mid-ocean ridges?
What are the characteristics of mid-ocean ridges? Principal characteristics. Oceanic ridges are found in every ocean basin and appear to girdle Earth. The ridges rise from depths near 5 km (3 miles) to an essentially uniform depth of about 2.6 km (1.6 miles) and are roughly symmetrical in cross section. They can be thousands of […]
Why protein is not a genetic material?
Why protein is not a genetic material? For a material to be genetic material, it has to replicate, it must be stable both structurally and chemically stable. Furthermore, it must be able to provide a scope for mutations eventually, key for evolution. Where are proteins made? Ribosomes Are proteins made in cytoplasm? Proteins all begin […]
How are matter and volume connected?
How are matter and volume connected? Matter is all the “stuff” that exists in the universe. It has both mass and volume. Mass measures the amount of matter in a substance or an object. Volume measures the amount of space that a substance or an object takes up. What is relation between volume and capacity? […]
How can an object accelerate towards the center without getting closer to the center?
How can an object accelerate towards the center without getting closer to the center? If an object is in uniform circular motion, then it is accelerating towards the center of the circle; yet the object never gets any closer to the center of the circle. It maintains a circular path at a constant radius from […]
What happens to the energy when you place a liquid in the freezer?
What happens to the energy when you place a liquid in the freezer? When water freezes it gives up some of the water’s energy. This energy that is given up is the latent heat of freezing. When the water was freezing latent heat of freezing energy was being released. Energy is being transferred even through […]
