Can you rotate your body in mid air? One cannot change one’s angular momentum in mid-air, other than by interaction with the air. A sky-diver, falling through the air after the first few seconds, is falling at “terminal velocity”. Can you rotate in the air? Jump into the air, you can turn your body. Physicists […]
When light interacts with matter 3 things can happen?
When light interacts with matter 3 things can happen? Light can interact with matter in three ways: absorption, transmission, and reflection. 1. ABSORPTION – When a light wave with a identical frequency to an electron’s natural frequency “impinges” upon an atom, the electrons will begin to vibrate as a result (almost like they are “set […]

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 […]

What are the causes and effects of eutrophication?
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 is the potential energy of a free particle zero?
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 […]
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 […]
