Why do wheels have friction? A wheel or ball on a surface is held there by static sliding friction. In order to start the rolling motion, a force or torque must be applied to the wheel. The force of the static sliding friction prevents the wheel from sliding and thus initiates the rolling motion. Is […]
What is the basic source of magnetism?
What is the basic source of magnetism? The source of magnetism is the electric charges. The movement of the electric charge causes magnetism. Substances are made from tiny atoms. These atoms have protons, electrons and neutrons. Where is magnetism found? A very common source of magnetic field found in nature is a dipole, with a […]
Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water?
Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water? Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water? Temperature. Salinity. How temperature affects the movement of ocean water? Water expands when it warms up – heat energy makes its molecules move around more and take up more […]
What will the precipitin test tell a forensic scientist?
What will the precipitin test tell a forensic scientist? Precipitin test identifies the presence of proteins that are found only in human blood. On the surface of red blood cells are molecules (proteins) called antigens. Antigens allow a living system to recognize foreign biological substances, such as infectious agents and allergens. What qualifications do you […]
What is hygroscopic substance give examples?
What is hygroscopic substance give examples? Hygroscopic substances include cellulose fibers (such as cotton and paper), sugar, caramel, honey, glycerol, ethanol, wood, methanol, sulfuric acid, many fertilizer chemicals, many salts (like calcium chloride, bases like sodium hydroxide etc.), and a wide variety of other substances. What is hygroscopic behavior? Hygroscopicity is the capacity of a […]
Is oxygen a donor or acceptor?
Is oxygen a donor or acceptor? Oxygen is an oxidizing agent (electron acceptor) and hydrogen is a reducing agent (electron donor). What are the best electron donors? When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in […]
What is a matrix material?
What is a matrix material? The matrix is basically a homogeneous and monolithic material in which a fiber system of a composite is embedded. It is completely continuous. The matrix provides a medium for binding and holding reinforcements together into a solid. What is the benefit of composite matrix? Advantages of Composite Materials Low cost […]
What is the lowest order of the Butterworth?
What is the lowest order of the Butterworth? What is the order N of the low pass Butterworth filter in terms of KP and KS? Explanation: We know that, [\frac{Ω_P}{Ω_C}]^{2N} = 10^{-K_P/10}-1 and [\frac{Ω_P}{Ω_C}]^{2N} = 10^{-K_S/10}-1. Which is better FIR or IIR? The advantage of IIR filters over FIR filters is that IIR filters usually […]
What is negative acceleration called?
What is negative acceleration called? The other name of negative acceleration is Retardation or Deceleration. A deceleration is opposite to the acceleration. The deceleration means the decrease in the speed of body/object movement. What is negative acceleration in simple words? According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the […]
What is the direction of the electric field in the rod?
What is the direction of the electric field in the rod? The direction of the electric field is always directed in the direction that a positive test charge would be pushed or pulled if placed in the space surrounding the source charge. Since electric field is a vector quantity, it can be represented by a […]
