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 […]

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 […]

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 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. The former phrase is usually used in the UK, whereas the latter is usually used in the USA. Is have a look formal? Both of the sentences that you suggested are grammatically correct, […]

How do you know if a sample is representative? A representative sample should be an unbiased reflection of what the population is like. There are many ways to evaluate representativeness—gender, age, socioeconomic status, profession, education, chronic illness, even personality or pet ownership. 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 […]

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 […]
