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 […]

How we can measure shear rigidity?
How we can measure shear rigidity? Modulus of rigidity or shear modulus is the rate of change of unit shear stress with respect to unit shear strain for the condition of pure shear within the proportional limit. Modulus of rigidity formula is G = E/(2(1+v)), and modulus of rigidity is G, elastic modulus is E […]
How do you apologize for turning in something late?
How do you apologize for turning in something late? How to Write a Note of Apology for Being Late Apologize and lay out a specific account of the situation. Acknowledge the consequences. Accept responsibility. Explain what happened. Promise that it won’t happen again. Show that you regret the situation. Offer to help correct the situation. […]
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 does the L mean on a weather map?
What does the L mean on a weather map? low pressure What symbols are commonly found on a weather map? These often include temperature, dew point (a measure of humidity), wind speed, wind direction, present weather, barometric pressure and pressure tendency (is it rising or falling?), cloud cover, and many others. What is a key […]
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 […]
How do you describe an irregular galaxy?
How do you describe an irregular galaxy? An irregular galaxy is the catchall name given to any galaxy that does not neatly fit into one of the categories of the Hubble classification scheme. They have no defined shape nor structure and may have formed from collisions, close encounters with other galaxies or violent internal activity. […]
