What are the causes and effects of eutrophication? “Eutrophication is an enrichment of water by nutrient salts that causes structural changes to the ecosystem such as: increased production of algae and aquatic plants, depletion of fish species, general deterioration of water quality and other effects that reduce and preclude use”. What can humans do to […]
Is tens AC or DC?
Is tens AC or DC? A standard TENS unit typically delivers a low-frequency (<50 Hz) alternating current to a focused treatment area. Due to the nature of low-frequency, however, these signals have a low capacity to overcome skin resistance – resulting in these units only providing pain relief via the Gate Control Theory while being […]
Why can some mixtures be separated by chromatography?
Why can some mixtures be separated by chromatography? Chromatography can be used to separate mixtures of coloured compounds . As the solvent soaks up the paper, it carries the mixtures with it. Different components of the mixture will move at different rates. This separates the mixture out. How many main ways are there to separate […]
Is it bad to be emotionally dependent?
Is it bad to be emotionally dependent? Though emotional dependence stems from a lack of self-esteem, it’s also a self-esteem destroyer of its own, undermining our confidence subtly and over time. When we become too dependent emotionally on our spouse or partner, we run the risk of losing the person that we love by losing […]
What force prevents an object from moving when pulled?
What force prevents an object from moving when pulled? Friction Does a heavier object move faster? The force of gravity is the weight of the body. Hence an object with greater mass feels greater force than the other one. So even if the slope is same for both objects, a massive object moves faster through […]
What is a good question to ask about space?
What is Charles Law in simple terms?
What is Charles Law in simple terms? Charles’s law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant. It is a special case of the general gas law and can be derived from the kinetic theory of gases under the […]
What is positive and negative charge in atoms?
Do elements in Group 1 gain or lose electrons?
Do elements in Group 1 gain or lose electrons? All Group 1 atoms can lose one electron to form positively charged ions. For example, potassium atoms do this to form ions with the same electron configuration as the noble gas argon. Group 2 atoms lose two electrons to form positively charged ions. Most elements in […]
What is the relationship between air pressure and weather?
What is the relationship between air pressure and weather? Atmospheric pressure is an indicator of weather. When a low-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation. High-pressure systems usually lead to fair, calm weather. How pressure affects the wind flow? Air Pressure and Winds Air that moves horizontally between […]
