Does speed of sound depend on pitch? The speed of sound is dependent on temperature. As the temperature of the air increases, the speed of sound in air increases. Frequency of sound and pitch are related. The higher the pitch, the greater the frequency. What is the highest possible frequency of sound? That’s about the […]

Do neurons allow us to think? In short, our nervous systems detect what is going on around us and inside of us; they decide how we should act, alter the state of internal organs (heart rate changes, for instance), and allows us to think about and remember what is going on. To do this, it […]

Can you run jet fuel in a diesel? Jet fuel (there’s variants, but a very common one is known as Jet A) is really close to regular old diesel fuel. And, for that matter, kerosene. You can even run it straight in your diesel car or truck, though it doesn’t lubricate as well so if […]

What is the full form of laser? Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation What are the uses of laser technology? Lasers are widely used for laser material processing in manufacturing, e.g. for cutting, drilling, welding, cladding, soldering (brazing), hardening, surface treatment, marking, engraving, micromachining, pulsed laser deposition, lithography, etc. What is Laser What are […]

Is it a look or take Alook? The difference between “have a look” and “take a look” is geographical rather than semantic.

What percentage of sample is representative? For example, in a population of 1,000 […]

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 […]

What is the ratio of kinetic energy and potential energy of a satellite? For the satellite moving in an orbit around […]

Why might a bright yellow solid form when two clear colorless liquids are mixed? Explanation: When two substances (can be aqueous or liquids) in solution react, they yield a solid and an aqueous compound. This is a double displacement reaction in which the solid is known as a precipitate. Can two solids react to form […]
