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 […]

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 […]

Which type battery is best? Lithium-ion batteries What kind of batteries are least expensive? The most economical Li-ion battery in terms of cost-to-energy ratio is the cylindrical 18650 cell. Where is the cheapest place to buy batteries? For the best overall prices, consider shopping at one of these top five places to buy cheap batteries: […]

What happens to torque if field is non-uniform? An electric dipole always experiences a torque when placed in uniform as well as non-uniform electric field. But in non-uniform electric field, dipole will also experience net force of attraction. So the electric dipole in non-uniform electric field experiences both torque and force. What is meant by […]

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 […]

How does physics help us in our daily lives? Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances that will continue to drive the economic engines of the world. Physics contributes to the technological infrastructure and provides trained personnel needed to take advantage of scientific advances and discoveries. What is physics in everyday life […]

How can we overcome modal dispersion? One way to reduce modal dispersion is to use graded-index fiber. Unlike the two distinct materials in a step-index fiber, the graded-index fiber’s cladding is doped so that the refractive index gradually decreases over many layers. Which type of fiber has highest modal dispersion? Multimode fiber What is difference […]

Is pigment ink better for heat transfers? So after going by all the characteristics and differences in the inks, it is advised to use Pigment ink for heat transfer paper. The reason for using a pigment ink over the regular dye ink is that the pigment ink doesn’t fade quickly. How do you make a […]

Which WiFi frequency is best? Ideally, you should use the 2.4GHz band to connect devices for low bandwidth activities like browsing the Internet. On the other hand, 5GHz is the best suited for high-bandwidth devices or activities like gaming and streaming HDTV. What is the advantage of having WiFi in your car? Benefits of car […]
