How do rockets rotate? In flight, any rocket will rotate about its center of gravity, a point which is the average location of the mass of the rocket. Most rockets are symmetric about a line from the tip of the nose to the center of the nozzle exit. We will call this line the roll […]

Why do bats die near wind turbines? When a wind turbine’s blades move, they cause a drop in nearby air pressure. If a bat flies too close to a turbine, this drop in air pressure can damage its lungs. They found that each wind turbine kills around 5 birds and 12 bats every year! How […]

How does physics help us in our daily lives? Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances that will continue to drive the economic engines of the world. Physics contributes to the technological infrastructure and provides trained personnel needed to take advantage of scientific advances and discoveries. What is physics in everyday life […]

How can we overcome modal dispersion? One way to reduce modal dispersion is to use graded-index fiber. Unlike the two distinct materials in a step-index fiber, the graded-index fiber’s cladding is doped so that the refractive index gradually decreases over many layers. Which type of fiber has highest modal dispersion? Multimode fiber What is difference […]

What is the SI unit of only current? ampere Can I use 110v in USA? It will be just fine, as long as your electricity is running to US spec. It really can be anywhere from 110V to 120V +/- 5%. Can I plug 120V into 110v? In the US, 110V isn’t a standard voltage. […]

Does the atomic radius increase from left to right? Atomic radius is determined as the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms bonded together. The atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period. The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group. What is […]

What is the Sun an example? The sun is the star that is the central object in the solar system. It is made up of 92% hydrogen, almost 8% helium and the rest is assorted elements. An example of sun is what rises in the east and sets in the west each day. The radiant […]

Which type of motion is of a girl sitting in a moving merry go round? circular motion What net force is acting on her if she is standing on the merry go round? Question: What Net Force Is Acting On Her If She Is Standing On The Merry -go-round 1.2 M From Its Center In […]

What is the direction of net force in circular motion? The final motion characteristic for an object undergoing uniform circular motion is the net force. The net force acting upon such an object is directed towards the center of the circle. The net force is said to be an inward or centripetal force. What is […]
