What is the Joule equal to? One joule equals the work done (or energy expended) by a force of one newton (N) acting over a distance of one meter (m). One newton equals a force that produces an acceleration of one meter per second (s) per second on a one kilogram (kg) mass. Therefore, one […]

Is OMC a Volvo? On December 23rd 1998, Volvo purchased the Lexington, Tennessee factory and all of the production rights to the OMC sterndrives, thus officially ending the OMC sterndrive business. Are OMC and MerCruiser the same? Cadet. Re: Difference between Mercruiser & OMC? I’ve worked on both, you’re right, they’re the same engines. Are […]

What is gamma spectroscopy used for? Gamma-ray (γ-ray) spectroscopy is a quick and nondestructive analytical technique that can be used to identify various radioactive isotopes in a sample. In gamma-ray spectroscopy, the energy of incident gamma-rays is measured by a detector. How do we measure gamma rays? Scientists can use gamma rays to determine the […]

What is a potential failure mode? Definition: Potential failure mode is defined as the manner in which the process could potentially fail to meet the process requirements and/or design intent as decribed in the process function/requirements column. ( What are the three usual causes of failure? The usual causes of material failure are incorrect materials […]

Is FCC stronger than BCC? FCC and BCC also have many different measurements within the unit cell, as shown in the table below. Additionally, FCC metals tend to be more dense, more stable at high temperatures, and more ductile than BCC metals. This comes from their packing arrangement and slip systems. Why is it called […]

Will we run out of rocket fuel? So no, it is literally impossible to run out of modern rocket fuel, as we basically reuse it (when burned, turned into water vapour, rains down, we collect it and separate it into the two gasses, which can then be burned again. We will only run out of […]

What is the correct order for Organisational planning? There are four phases of a proper organizational plan: strategic, tactical, operational, and contingency. Each phase of planning is a subset of the prior, with strategic planning being the foremost. What is the overall focus of strategic planning? Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is […]

Can a bulb added in a circuit with twisted wires light up? Answer. Answer: Yes,because it is still a complete circuit. What must be true for a circuit to light a bulb? Based on what you have seen, what must be true for a circuit to light a bulb? There has to be a lightbulb […]

What happens if a plane is too heavy? If the plane is too heavily loaded, then you will be unable to take off. (You might be able to get a meter or two above the ground due to a phenomenon called “ground effect”, but you could not climb any higher.) Is basic weight the same […]

At what distance does a long straight wire carry a current? Answer. Magnetic field, We have to find the distance from a long straight wire that is carrying a current of 12 A. Hence, at 0.08 m from a long straight wire carrying a current of 12 A. What basic principle enables all electric generators? […]
