Which best describes the relationship between brightness B and distance d )? Inverse Square Law of Brightness The Apparent Brightness (B) of a source is inversely proportional to the square of its distance (d): Implications: It will appear 22=4 times brighter. Which type of dwarf is largest? A typical white dwarf is about as massive […]
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 […]
What are the major features of introspection?
What are the major features of introspection? Introspection is closely related to human self-reflection and self-discovery and is contrasted with external observation. Introspection generally provides a privileged access to one’s own mental states, not mediated by other sources of knowledge, so that individual experience of the mind is unique. Why is introspection unreliable? Psychological research […]
What do theories and laws have in common?
What do theories and laws have in common? As previously stated, a scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world. A scientific law is simply an observation of the phenomenon that the theory attempts to explain. The theory of gravity is the explanation as to why the apple falls to […]
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 […]
Can you get cancer from sitting in front of a heater?
Can you get cancer from sitting in front of a heater? We know what it is, but there have been very few direct sources of interference to the natural body functions, that result in the mutations of the cell divisions, that is commonly called ‘cancer’. Sitting in front of an “infra Red” heater, is not […]
Is atomic nucleus positive or negative?
Is atomic nucleus positive or negative? The nucleus (plural, nuclei) is a positively charged region at the center of the atom. It consists of two types of subatomic particles packed tightly together. The particles are protons, which have a positive electric charge, and neutrons, which are neutral in electric charge. Can nucleus be positive? The […]
Can a vector has infinite components?
Can a vector has infinite components? A vector can be split into infinite components (but only 3 orthogonal ones) Are vectors one dimensional? Yes. Not only are one dimensional vectors a thing, “zero dimensional” vectors are too! An example of a one dimensional vector would just be any real number, as you observed. How do […]
How do muscles get oxygen?
How do muscles get oxygen? Oxygen is supplied to the muscles via red blood cells. Red blood cells carry hemoglobin which oxygen bonds with as the hemoglobin rich blood cells pass through the blood vessels of the lungs. The now oxygen rich blood cells carry that oxygen to the cells that are demanding it, 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 […]
