What is formed when two or more substances are combined? Two or more elements combined into one substance through a chemical reaction form a chemical compound. All compounds are substances, but not all substances are compounds. A chemical compound can be either atoms bonded together in molecules or crystals in which atoms, molecules or ions […]
What type of acid is sodium hydroxide?
What type of acid is sodium hydroxide? sodium compounds Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a corrosive white crystalline solid that readily absorbs moisture until it dissolves. Commonly called caustic soda, or lye, sodium hydroxide is the most widely used industrial alkali. It is highly corrosive to animal and vegetable tissue. The alkaline solutions it forms… Is […]
How do you find displacement with time and distance?
How do you find displacement with time and distance? Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance. Displacement is key when determining velocity (which is also a vector). Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time. What is the formula to find displacement? Displacement (s) […]
What is the angle of incidence in aviation?
What is the angle of incidence in aviation? On fixed-wing aircraft, the angle of incidence (sometimes referred to as the mounting angle or setting angle) is the angle between the chord line of the wing where the wing is mounted to the fuselage, and a reference axis along the fuselage (often the direction of minimum […]
What weighs approximately 1 Newton?
What weighs approximately 1 Newton? In general terms anything that has a mass of 102 grams is said to have a weight of one Newton, because a 0.102 kg object accelerating at 9.81 m/s2 gives you a force of one Newton. Local grocery stores have many things that weigh one Newton. In the fruit department, […]
How many histones are in a nucleosome?
How many histones are in a nucleosome? eight proteins Do histones organize DNA? ‘Sticky’ histones keep DNA organized, but it takes a team of proteins to get them into the nucleus without causing a tangle. Cells contain two meters of DNA which, if left to its own devices, would soon end up in a knot. […]
What are the 3 aspects of sound?
What are the 3 aspects of sound? Sound waves are changes in pressure generated by vibrating molecules. The physical characteristics of sound waves influence the three psychological features of sound: loudness, pitch, and timbre. Loudness depends on the amplitude,or height, of sound waves. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound perceived. What is the […]
What plant and animal cells have in common?
What plant and animal cells have in common? Animal cells and plant cells share the common components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane. Plant cells have three extra components, a vacuole, chloroplast and a cell wall. What is unique to plant cells? The plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and […]
Does odometer measure speed or velocity?
Does odometer measure speed or velocity? The odometer gives us only the measure but doesn’t show the direction of velocity. The odometer measures the scalar quantity – the speed of the car. The device may be electronic or mechanical or a combination of the two. How do you calculate distance traveled using odometer? The formula […]
What is malleability and example?
What is malleability and example? It is the ability of a solid to bend or be hammered into other shapes without breaking. Examples of malleable metals are gold, iron, aluminum, copper, silver, and lead. Gold and silver are highly malleable. The property is not seen in non-metals. What do you mean by ductility class 8?
