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 […]
What is the source of energy for the life in deep sea ocean trenches where sunlight does not reach?
What is the source of energy for the life in deep sea ocean trenches where sunlight does not reach? Answer: Instead of sunlight, vent life relies on hydrogen sulfide – more commonly known as rotten egg gas and toxic to most land-based life. In a process called chemosynthesis, specialized bacteria create energy from the hydrogen […]
Why is the skull divided into two parts?
Why is the skull divided into two parts? The skull is a bone structure that forms the head in vertebrates. It supports the structures of the face and provides a protective cavity for the brain. The skull is composed of two parts: the cranium and the mandible…. Skull TA98 A02.1.00.001 TA2 406 Anatomical terminology What […]
What is a disadvantage of hydrogen fuel cells?
What is a disadvantage of hydrogen fuel cells? There are disadvantages to using hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells in cars. These include: hydrogen is in the gas state at room temperature and pressure, so it is difficult to store in the car. fuel cells and electric motors are less durable than petrol engines and diesel engines, so […]

What is the intensity of UV light?
What is the intensity of UV light? The intensity of UV radiation is measured in the units of milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2) which is energy per square centimeter received per second. Also, it is measured in the units of millijoules per square centimeter (mJ/cm2), which is energy received per unit area in a given […]
Why metal is a conductor?
Why metal is a conductor? Metals are an excellent conductor of electricity and heat because the atoms in the metals form a matrix through which outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective atoms, they form a sea of electrons that surround the positive nuclei of the interacting metal ions. Are metals shiny? […]
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 […]
Can a tuning fork go out of tune?
What causes sodium voltage-gated channels to open?
What causes sodium voltage-gated channels to open? When a stimulus reaches the threshold at the axon hillock, an action potential is generated. An action potential relies on many protein channels. All the voltage-gated Sodium channels open when the membrane potential reaches around -55 mV and there’s a large influx of Sodium, causing a sharp rise […]
