What makes it easier to push heavy things answer? Answer: When you push there is one component of force that adds to the weight of the body and hence there is more friction. When you pull the vertical component of force is against the weight of body and hence there is less overall friction. So […]

What are two examples of the Doppler effect? The drop in pitch of ambulance sirens as they pass by and the shift in red light are common examples of the Doppler Effect. Edwin Hubble made the discovery that the universe expands as a consequence of the Doppler Effect. Where is the Doppler effect used? Doppler […]

Is DNA prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cells Nucleus No Yes DNA Single circular piece of DNA Multiple chromosomes Membrane-Bound Organelles No Yes Examples Bacteria Plants, animals, fungi Are viruses prokaryotes? Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are distinguished on the basis of their cellular characteristics. Viruses are considered neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes because they […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
