What happens to the particles when a liquid boils? Boiling. If a liquid is heated the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid. As the liquid gets warmer more particles have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid. Eventually even particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles […]

Which functions are continuous and differentiable everywhere? In mathematics, the Weierstrass function is an example of a real-valued function that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. It is an example of a fractal curve. Is every continuous function is integrable? What we get from this is that every continuous function on a closed interval is […]

How do I know if my tub is cast iron? If you can see the tub from underneath and it looks black it is probably cast iron. If it is more like bright metal it is steel. If you want, remove the overflow cover and popup lever from the head end of the tub and […]

What does 50% lung capacity mean? Likewise, if your FEV1 is 50%, your lungs are able to handle only half as much air as they should. If your FEV1 is 33%, your lungs are able to handle even less—only a third as much. The lower your FEV1 percentage, the less air your lungs are able […]

What is Joule formula? In equation form: work (joules) = force (newtons) x distance (meters), where a joule is the unit of work, as defined in the following paragraph. In symbols: W = F x d. In practical terms, even a small force can do a lot of work if it is exerted over a […]

Which of the following is a technique used to image the relative position of products? Perceptual mapping is a diagrammatic technique used by marketers in an attempt to visually display the perceptions of customers or potential customers. Typically the position of a product, product line, brand, or company is displayed relative to their competition. What […]

Is science absolute or relative? Scientific knowledge by itself is relative; but science can not be satisfied with its relative status, therefore it aspires to absolute, universal, to overcome its relative nature. This aspiration is expressed in extrapolation. Are theories always true? A theory will always remain a theory; a law will always remain a […]

Where do you look for blind spots? Blind spots are the areas to the sides of your car that can’t be seen in your rear mirror or side mirrors- to make sure these spots are clear before changing lanes, you’ll have to physically turn around and look to see what kind of crazy stuff is […]

What is the formula for aluminum oxide and why? Aluminum oxide has a chemical formula Al2O3. It is amphoteric in nature, and is used in various chemical, industrial and commercial applications. How do you activate aluminum oxide? The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving and hydrolyzing solid sodium tetrachloroaluminate by using an ethanol […]

How do you use a ray diagram? 1. Pick a point on the top of the object and draw two incident rays traveling towards the mirror. Using a straight edge, accurately draw one ray so that it passes exactly through the focal point on the way to the mirror. Draw the second ray such that […]
