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? […]
What is a good amount of kJ to burn a day?
What is a good amount of kJ to burn a day? In order to achieve weight loss an individual needs to consume less energy (kilojoules) than the will body burn. For example if an individual needs 8,700 kilojoules per day to maintain weight, reducing daily intake to 6,600 kilojoules (assuming exercise stays the same), should […]

Why is it difficult for a high speed car to negotiate an unbanked turn?
Why is it difficult for a high speed car to negotiate an unbanked turn? (a) A huge force is pushing the car outward. (b) The magnitude of the friction force might not be enough to provide the necessary radial acceleration. A car negotiating an unbanked road at high speed is actually accelerating as the direction […]
Why is NO2 not a greenhouse gas?
Why is NO2 not a greenhouse gas? Neither nitric oxide nor nitrogen dioxide are greenhouse gases, although they are important in the process of creation of tropospheric ozone which is a greenhouse gas. Because of this, there is general agreement that the atmospheric sources and sinks of nitrous oxide are difficult to bring into balance. […]
How do igneous rocks look like?
How do igneous rocks look like? Extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rocks look dull and do not sparkle much because they are fine grained. These crystals make a coarse-grained igneous rock called plutonic, or intrusive, igneous rock because the magma was intruded into cracks deep under the earth’s surface. What type of rock is granite? Granite […]
