What kind of mixture is salt solution and seawater? The salt water described above is homogeneous because the dissolved salt is evenly distributed throughout the entire salt water sample. Often it is easy to confuse a homogeneous mixture with a pure substance because they are both uniform. The difference is that the composition of the […]

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 […]

Why is it important to have evidence? Evidence is used to back up or refute arguments, and it helps us to make decisions at work. Using evidence allows us to work out what is effective and what is not. Evidence indicates the ideas that are effective and those, which are not meaning that programs are […]

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 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 […]

What is an inertial frame of reference in physics? Within the realm of Newtonian mechanics, an inertial frame of reference, or inertial reference frame, is one in which Newton’s first law of motion is valid. An inertial frame of reference is one in which the motion of a particle not subject to forces is in […]

How many seconds does it take to stop a car going 60 mph? 4.5 seconds How long does it take to stop a car at 55 mph? Only then does the car begin to slow. On dry pavement that takes 4 1/2 seconds, traveling another 144 feet, but if it’s wet, you’ll travel 183 feet. […]

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 […]
