Is the Large Hadron Collider dangerous?

Is the Large Hadron Collider dangerous? No. Although powerful for an accelerator, the energy reached in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is modest by nature’s standards. What would happen if the Hadron Collider exploded? Given the amount of energy that Nature has stored in the matter of your body, your detonation would change the course […]

What did Japan want in WWII?

What did Japan want in WWII? Faced with severe shortages of oil and other natural resources and driven by the ambition to displace the United States as the dominant Pacific power, Japan decided to attack the United States and British forces in Asia and seize the resources of Southeast Asia.

Are landfills a problem?

Are landfills a problem? Landfill sites are pretty ugly. And it’s not just the sight of increasing piles of waste that’s the problem. The three most important problems with landfill are toxins, leachate and greenhouse gases. What are the negative effects of landfills? Almost two thirds of landfill waste is biodegradable. This waste rots and […]

How are vectors used in real life?

How are vectors used in real life? Vectors have many real-life applications, including situations involving force or velocity. For example, consider the forces acting on a boat crossing a river. The boat’s motor generates a force in one direction, and the current of the river generates a force in another direction. Both forces are vectors. […]

Should my skull be bumpy?

Should my skull be bumpy? The skull is not perfectly round or smooth, so it is normal to feel slight bumps and ridges. However, a dent in the head, especially if it is new, requires a trip to the doctor to determine the cause. In this article, we examine the possible causes and symptoms of […]

What are the three types of adaptations?

What are the three types of adaptations? There are three different types of adaptations: Behavioural – responses made by an organism that help it to survive/reproduce. Physiological – a body process that helps an organism to survive/reproduce. Structural – a feature of an organism’s body that helps it to survive/reproduce. How does cactus and camel […]

What is the importance of ribosomes?

What is the importance of ribosomes? Ribosomes facilitate the synthesis of proteins in cells (i.e., translation) (see Figs. 1-1 and 1-3). Their function is to “translate” information encoded in mRNA into polypeptide chains of amino acids that make up proteins. There are two types of ribosomes, free and fixed (also known as membrane bound). How […]

How are elements heavier than beryllium formed?

How are elements heavier than beryllium formed? Elements heavier than beryllium are formed through stellar nucleosynthesis. Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which elements are formed within stars. The abundances of these elements change as the stars evolve. What is the heavy element? A heavy element is an element with an atomic number greater than […]
