What are the two main types of calorimeter? Some of the most common types are adiabatic calorimeters, oxygen bomb calorimeters, and differential scanning calorimeters (DSC). An adiabatic calorimeter is used to measure a “runaway reaction”, any heat generated by the sample under test causes the sample to increase in temperature, fueling the reaction. How do […]

How many amps does starter motor draw? 150 amps Why do motors draw more current when starting? An induction motor during start behaves like a short circuited transformer. Now, when supply is given to the stator windings, it draws high current at constant voltage as the windings are short circuited. This high current through the […]

What is the working principle of capacitor? A capacitor works on the principle that the capacitance of a conductor increases appreciably when an earthed conductor is brought near it. Hence, a capacitor has two plates separated by a distance having equal and opposite charges. What is the main function of capacitor? A capacitor is an […]

What is near and far point of a normal eye? The near point is the nearest point within the eye’s accommodation range at which an object can be positioned and still form a focused image on the retina. The far point is the limit to the eye’s accommodation range. For a normal human eye, this […]

What does it mean if the bottom number of your blood pressure is over 100? The next stage of hypertension, stage 2 hypertension, is diagnosed when your systolic pressure is 160 mm Hg or higher or your diastolic pressure is 100 mm Hg or higher. A diagnosis of hypertension means that you need treatment to […]

How do you write a comforting message? Examples “We are so sorry for your loss.” “I’m going to miss her, too.” “I hope you feel surrounded by much love.” “Sharing in your sadness as you remember Dan.” “Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. “With deepest sympathy as you remember Robert.” “I was saddened to hear […]

What will happen if two forces act on an object? If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces. This always results in a stronger force than either of the individual forces alone. What do we call it when two or […]

How do you measure wind speed without an anemometer? A much simpler way to measure wind speed is with a ribbon tied to a stick. Once calibrated, the device will allow the casual kite-flyer or sailor an indication of the wind speed. Place the three ribbons on top of each other and tie them together […]

What is required for charges to leave an object? The object being charged ends up with a charge which is the opposite of the object being used to charge it. A ground must be used to charge on the object. The ground allows for electron movement into or out of the object being charged. When […]

What do the 4 macromolecules do? Nucleic acids: Stores and transfers info. Carbohydrates; Store energy, provide fuel, and build structure in body, main source of energy, structure of plant cell wall. Lipid: Insulator and stores fat and energy. Protein: Provide structural support,transport, enzymes, movement, defense. Which macromolecules can you live without? Carbohydrates and lipids make […]
