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 […]

What happens when you shine a red light on a blue object? So what happens if you shine only red light onto a blue object? All of that red light gets absorbed and the blue object will seem to be dark, almost black. If you now shine a blue light onto that blue object all […]

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 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. […]

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, […]

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 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 Colour would green be in red light? There are three primary colours in light: red, green and blue….Coloured light. Appearance of object in red light White paper Red (only red light to reflect) Red apple Red Green apple Black (no green light to reflect) Why do red and green light make yellow? A mixture […]

Is it more energy efficient to boil water? An electric stove requires more energy and time to heat up, thus it takes longer to heat the water inside the kettle. However, an electric stove is more efficient in delivering energy to the kettle. Using boiling water and vinegar removes mineral deposits that reduce its energy […]
