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 […]

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 […]

What is the property of minerals that reflects light? Luster What are the two major properties of minerals? A mineral species is defined by two distinct properties: (1) its chemical com- position and (2) its crystal structure. Each mineral has a distinct three- dimensional array of its constituent atoms. This regular geometry affects its physical […]

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 […]
