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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 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? 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? 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 […]

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 […]
