Will cats come down from trees on their own? Cats’ claws are shaped like fish hooks, and trees are nature’s escape routes for them. They will often climb until they feel safe, then stop and realize they’re stuck. The only safe way for them to get down unaided is to go down backward, which, unsurprisingly, […]
Why is the corona hotter?
Why is the corona hotter? Nanojets are thought to be initiated by a process called ‘magnetic reconnection’, where twisted magnetic fields explosively realign. One such reconnection can set off another, resulting in an avalanche of nanojets in the Sun’s corona, which is then thought to generate enough energy to heat the corona. What triggers lightning? […]
What is the formula for capacitance of a capacitor?
What is the formula for capacitance of a capacitor? The generalised equation for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as: C = ε(A/d) where ε represents the absolute permittivity of the dielectric material being used. How can you increase the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor? The capacitance of a set of […]
How many hours of sun does a north-facing garden get?
How many hours of sun does a north-facing garden get? You’ll get quite a bit at the height of summer, I should think about 7 hrs a day ime, central England latitude — more if you’re further north. Obviously at the ends of the day (morning, early evening. Good aspect for a conservatory (won’t get […]
What are 5 ways rocks can be broken down?
What are 5 ways rocks can be broken down? Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits […]
What is the volume of a 6cm Cube?
When should states be capitalized?
When should states be capitalized? You capitalize “state” only when it follows the name of the state, as in “New York State is also called the Empire State,” or when it’s part of a traditional name for a state, like “Empire State” or “Lone Star State.” When it precedes the name of the state, don’t […]
What is resonance frequency of LC circuit?
What is resonance frequency of LC circuit? Resonance occurs when an LC circuit is driven from an external source at an angular frequency ω0 at which the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal in magnitude. The frequency at which this equality holds for the particular circuit is called the resonant frequency. How does an LC […]
What is the relationship between heat work and internal energy?
What is the relationship between heat work and internal energy? The relationship between the internal energy of a system and its heat and work exchange with the surroundings is: E = q + w (The form of work will be restricted to gaseous, PV-type for this discussion.) Interestingly, both q and w are not state […]
What is the impact of figurative language in a poem?
What is the impact of figurative language in a poem? Figurative language is used in both literature and poetry to create layers of meaning which the reader accesses through the senses, symbolism, and sound devices. Figurative language brings the reader deeper into the theme of the work, without the author having to explicitly lay out […]
