What happens when you shine a red light on a blue object? So what happens if you shine only red light onto a blue object? All of that red light gets absorbed and the blue object will seem to be dark, almost black. If you now shine a blue light onto that blue object all […]

Why do we use 8.314 as the value for R? R = 8.314 is actually the more important value because it is expressed in SI units (note that 1 J = 1 Pa * m^3= 1 N/m^2 * m^3 = 1 N * m). What does R mean in chemistry? R group: An abbreviation for […]

Why is curiosity rover so slow? Originally Answered: Why does the Mars rover, Curiosity, move so slow? There are delicate instruments and experiments on board, and besides, they’re in no real “rush” to get anywhere, since so much science can be done even at the landing site while they figure out which route to pursue […]

How is glucose prevented from leaving the cell? First Half of Glycolysis (Energy-Requiring Steps) This reaction prevents the phosphorylated glucose molecule from continuing to interact with the GLUT proteins, and it can no longer leave the cell because the negatively charged phosphate will not allow it to cross the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane. […]

What is the relationship of kinetic and potential energy? The primary relationship between the two is their ability to transform into each other. In other words, potential energy transforms into kinetic energy, and kinetic energy converts into potential energy, and then back again. At what position does the ball have the greatest potential energy? The […]

Can there be 2 experimental groups? The experimental group is the set of subjects exposed to a change in the independent variable. It’s possible for an experiment to contain more than one experimental group. However, in the cleanest experiments, only one variable is changed. What do you need to observe to develop a good experimental […]

What happens to the pH of a base when water is added? Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. The acid is becoming less acidic. Similarly, when an alkali is diluted with water the concentration of OH – ions decreases. This causes the pH of the alkali to fall towards 7, […]

What are the four stages in the life cycle of a low mass star? Stars about the size of our sun go through the same first four stages as does any other star. They begin their lives as a nebula, then become a Protostar, eventually becoming a main sequence star and finally a red giant. […]

What are two examples of liquid? Examples of Liquids Water. Milk. Blood. Urine. Gasoline. Mercury (an element) Bromine (an element) Wine. What are two examples of a gas? Examples of Gases Hydrogen. Nitrogen. Oxygen. Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide. Water Vapour. Helium. Neon. What are the common gases? Common gases include Acetylene, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Helium, […]

How do you know if a sample is representative? A representative sample should be an unbiased reflection of what the population is like. There are many ways to evaluate representativeness—gender, age, socioeconomic status, profession, education, chronic illness, even personality or pet ownership. What percentage of sample is representative? For example, in a population of 1,000 […]
