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 […]

What is the main characteristics of deciduous forests? Deciduous forests have a long, warm growing season as one of four distinct seasons. There is abundant moisture. The soil typically is rich. The leaves dropped from trees provide a steady source of organic material for the soil. What are the characteristics of a deciduous tree? Most […]

What is the charge for calcium ion? 2 What type of ion does calcium form? Calcium, Ca Calcium is also in Group 2. It has two electrons in its outer shell. When these electrons are lost, a calcium ion, Ca 2+, is formed. A calcium ion has the same electronic structure as an argon atom […]

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 […]

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 a good weight to curl? According to Weis, men up to 120 pounds should be able to curl 70 pounds; men 121 to 135 pounds should be able to lift 85 pounds; men 136 to 155 pounds should ideally lift 105; men 156 to 170 pounds should lift 120 pounds; men 171 to […]

Why is the potential energy of a free particle zero? In quantum mechanics, it means the particle is in a region of uniform potential, usually set to zero in the region of interest since the potential can be arbitrarily set to zero at any point in space. … What is the energy of a free […]

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 […]

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 is a good question to ask about space? How does the expansion of the universe make outer space a vacuum? How large would a bucket of water have to be to put out the sun? How long before the expansion of the universe causes our earth to drift away from the sun? How long […]
