Did Michael Faraday invent electricity? In 1825 he isolated and described benzene. What’s more, in 1821 he invented the first electric motor, and in the early 1830s he discovered a way to convert mechanical energy into electricity on a large scale, creating the first electric generator. Who invented the first electric engine? Michael Faraday What […]
Can you diffract a human?
Can you diffract a human? Since Plank’s constant is on the order of 10-34, the de Broglie wavelength is virtually undetectable for large amounts of matter. There is much evidence of matter possessing such a de Broglie wavelength. Well, theoretically, since all matter possess wave-like properties, so do humans, and cats, and whatever you please. […]
Can you use the quadratic formula for inequalities?
Can you use the quadratic formula for inequalities? In other words, a quadratic inequality is in standard form when the inequality is set to 0. Just like in a quadratic equation, the degree of the polynomial expression is two. This method of solving quadratic inequalities only works if the quadratic factors. What is the purpose […]
Why we should not ban smoking?
Why we should not ban smoking? Scientists agree that smoking is dangerous. Tobacco smoke can cause cancer, strokes and heart disease. Smoking does not just harm the smoker – it also harms people nearby, who breathe in the smoke (this is called “passive smoking”). Smokers choose to smoke, but people nearby do not choose to […]
Why do pennies sink in water?
Why do pennies sink in water? The reason the pennies sink in water is because of an idea called density. The pennies have more density than the water, and so the pennies sink. Anything with more density than water will sink in water, but other objects that have less density than water will float. What […]
What is the size of a plane mirror to see the full view of yourself?
What planet spins the fastest?
What planet spins the fastest? Jupiter What determines how fast a planet spins? The rotational speed is normally determined by the initial angular momentum when the planet formed, but may also be altered subsequently by large collisions (as for example the collision of the earth with another planet which gave us our moon). Why Jupiter […]
What are three properties of acids?
What are three properties of acids? Acids Aqueous solutions of acids are electrolytes, meaning that they conduct electrical current. Acids have a sour taste. Acids change the color of certain acid-base indicates. Acids react with active metals to yield hydrogen gas. Acids react with bases to produce a salt compound and water. How many types […]
What does a black triangle mean?
What does a black triangle mean? The Black Triangle. Just as gay men were forced to wear pink triangles in the concentration camps, many lesbians were forced to wear black triangles, which signified that they (like prostitutes and unmarried women of the streets) did not live according to the Nazis’ ideas of correct female behavior.
