Why are batteries called AA?
Why are batteries called AA? But the most significant difference is size because batteries are called AA & AAA because of their size and dimension. AA doesn’t stand for anything. It is simply an identifier for a battery of given dimensions and nominal voltage. Are C batteries the same as AA? AA batteries are the […]
Can sound waves bend?
Can sound waves bend? Sound waves do, indeed, bend. In an underwater thermal gradient the sonar waves can bend enough to create blind spots, so that you can not “see” a target that would ordinarily be well within sonar range. The other example is the difference in how well sound carries up/down wind. What is […]
What is the two main function of a diode?
What is the two main function of a diode? Main functions The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode’s forward direction), while blocking it in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). As such, the diode can be viewed as an electronic version […]

What is the most important muscle?
What is the most important muscle? The human heart is the most incredible muscle in the body, beating about 100,000 times to send 3,600 gallons of blood through 75,000 miles of blood vessels each day. Sure, skeletal muscles are vital to our ability to function, but the heart is truly a step above. What muscle […]

What hormone raises blood sugar and increases the heartbeat and breathing rates? Adrenal-medulla Adrenaline Stimulates breakdown of glycogen to glucose, release of glucose into blood; increases rate of heartbeat and rate of respiration, Pancreas-islets of Langerhans Insulin Stimulates glucose oxidation and removal from bloodstream (storage). How do hormones in the endocrine system move around the […]
Why does the mass change?
Why does the mass change? The mass of an object does not change with speed; it changes only if we cut off or add a piece to the object. Since mass doesn’t change, when the kinetic energy of an object changes, its speed must be changing. Special Relativity (one of Einstein’s 1905 theories) deals with […]
What is the relation between current and resistance?
What is the relation between current and resistance? The relationship between current, voltage and resistance is expressed by Ohm’s Law. This states that the current flowing in a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit, provided the temperature remains constant. What is a specific resistance? […]
