What triggers sweating? Sweating is your body’s mechanism to cool itself. Your nervous system automatically triggers your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. Sweating also normally occurs, especially on your palms, when you’re nervous. The most common form of hyperhidrosis is called primary focal (essential) hyperhidrosis. Where do humans sweat the most? The human […]

What is the most efficient cycle for a steam power plant? The Rankine cycle is the ideal cycle for vapor power plants; it includes the following four reversible processes: 1-2: Isentropic compression Water enters the pump as state 1 as saturated liquid and is compressed isentropically to the operating pressure of the boiler. What are […]

What is the moral of the story of an hour? The moral of the story undermines the famous saying “the truth shall set you free”; Mrs. Mallard finds freedom in the false belief that her husband is dead, and dies when she faces the truth. What causes Mrs Mallard’s heart to fail at the end […]

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 […]

When a capacitor is connected to a battery? If an uncharged capacitor C is connected to a battery of potential V, then a transient current flows as the capacitor plates get charged. The flow of current from the battery stops as soon as the charge Q on the positive plate reaches the value Q = […]

How often does the jet stream shift? This movement creates an air current, or wind. A jet stream is a type of air current that forms high in the atmosphere. On average, jet streams move at about 110 miles per hour. Why do waters sink in the North Atlantic? Water flowing northward becomes modified through […]

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 […]

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 two states have no karst? Almost all 50 states within the United States (US) have karst areas (exceptions are Delaware and Rhode Island), with the greatest amount of karst sinkhole damage occurring in Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania (in decreasing order of damage). What is the biggest karst in the world? […]

What is the main purpose of conducting an experiment? The main purpose for conducting experiments is to prove or disprove the hypotheses, or ideas of the scientists. What is conducting experiment? The Basis of Conducting an Experiment. With an experiment, the researcher is trying to learn something new about the world, an explanation of ‘why’ […]
