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 meant by one dimensional elastic collision? Two identical objects (such as billiard balls) have a one-dimensional collision in which one is initially motionless. After the collision, the moving object is stationary and the other moves with the same speed as the other originally had. Show that both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. […]

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 two factors can make an object stable? The stability of an object is dependent on two factors: The base width of the object. The center of gravity. What are structures for Grade 3? A structure is a solid that has a shape, size, and purpose. It holds a load. Example: A tennis shoe is […]

How do you use the word use and used? Used to refers to something familiar or routine, as in “I’m used to getting up early for work,” or to say that something repeatedly happened in the past like “we used to go out more.” Use to typically occurs with did; “did you use to work […]

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 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 […]
