Can dog whistles damage human ears? Some sounds (such as gunfire or standing next to a helicopter) are so loud (120-160 dB), that any brief exposure to them without wearing earmuffs or earplugs can damage hearing. (This means that the dog whistles are at a very high frequency but that they do not move the […]

What is CP CV called? The Cp/Cv ratio is also called the heat capacity ratio. (i.e.) Heat Capacity ratio = Cp/Cv = Heat capacity at constant pressure/ Heat capacity at constant volume. How do you calculate CP in thermodynamics? cp = cv + R The specific heat constants for constant pressure and constant volume processes […]

Is AlCl3 a Lewis acid or base? Aluminum chloride (AlCl3) is a Lewis acid because the aluminum atom has an open valence shell. When aluminum chloride is under discussion it is called a Lewis acid or an electrophile. Is Oh Lewis acid or base? A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, […]

Can an electric field be infinite? 3 Answers. So there is no infinity. In two dimensions (or in one), the electric field falls off only like 1r so the potential energy is infinite, and objects thrown apart get infinite speed in the analogous two-dimensional situation. Does electric field increase with distance? Electric field strength is […]

What are the types of GPS? Types of GPS Tracking Devices Personal or Wearable GPS Trackers. This type is often the size of a wristwatch and is used by hikers or hunters in case of an emergency. Vehicles and Equipment. These are slightly larger and are typically used for boats, trailers, cars, or semi-trucks. Plug […]

Are heat and temperature inversely proportional? (a) The amount of heat transferred is directly proportional to the temperature change. To double the temperature change of a mass m, you need to add twice the heat. (c) The amount of heat transferred depends on the substance and its phase. How will the difference in temperature of […]

Do humans need enrichment? Ultimately for humans, enrichment needs to make us feel valued and good about the contribution we are making. As with animals, there is not one form of enrichment that works for all. What is the primary source of enrichment for rats? For rats and mice, I place high-fiber rabbit food in […]

Does the brain sit in fluid? Being surrounded by CSF helps the brain float inside the skull, like a buoy in water. Because the brain is surrounded by fluid, it floats like it weighs only 2% of what it really does. If the brain did not have CSF to float in, it would sit on […]

What are the different levels of a food pyramid called? There are six categories in the Food Pyramid: the bread, cereal, rice, and pasta group (grains), the fruit group, the vegetable group, the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts group (protein), the milk, yogurt, and cheese group (dairy), and the fats, oils, and […]

Is 30 minutes of cardio a day enough to lose weight? A new study shows 30 minutes of exercise a day works just as well as an hour in helping overweight adults lose weight. Can you burn fat without cardio? That’s right – you can cut without doing traditional cardio. There’s no denying that sprints […]
