How do you figure out how much a trip will cost? What is the cost of a road trip? determine the number of miles you will travel (google maps provides a good ballpark figure) divide the number of miles by your car’s mpg (the number of miles you travel per gallon of gas) multiply that […]
What did Pythagoras believe about the earth?
What did Pythagoras believe about the earth? An astronomical system positing that the Earth, Moon, Sun and planets revolve around an unseen “Central Fire” was developed in the 5th century BC and has been attributed to the Pythagorean philosopher Philolaus.

What cells do plants have that animals don t?
What cells do plants have that animals don t? Animal cells have centrosomes (or a pair of centrioles), and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not. Why are plant cells Square? Plant cells […]
When would a sailboat be the give-way vessel?
When would a sailboat be the give-way vessel? Paths That Cross: The power-driven vessel is the give-way vessel. The sailing vessel is the stand-on vessel. Overtaking: The vessel that is overtaking another vessel is the give-way vessel, regardless of whether it is a sailing vessel or a power-driven vessel. The vessel being overtaken is always […]
Is it good to Flex?
Is it good to Flex? It can also be a way to build strength. Muscle flexing is more accurately known as muscle contraction, because when you flex your muscles, you’re creating tension that’s temporarily making the muscle fibers smaller or contracted. This tension is one example of how flexing your muscles can help make them […]
What is the difference between emission and absorption spectrum?
What is the difference between emission and absorption spectrum? The main difference between emission and absorption spectra is that an emission spectrum has different coloured lines in the spectrum, whereas an absorption spectrum has dark-coloured lines in the spectrum. What is basic emission? Definition of Emission The basic electronic emission occurs when heat, sunlight, electron […]

What is the most heat conductive liquid?
What is the most heat conductive liquid? Water Why is heat transfer important for thermal fluid design? The key point behind heat transfer fluid technology is the ability to generate high temperatures at low system pressures. Heat transfer fluid technology offers safety, low maintenance, and extending operating lifetimes when compared to traditional technologies such as […]
What is frame of reference and its types?
What is frame of reference and its types? There are two types of observational reference frame: inertial and non-inertial. An inertial frame of reference is defined as one in which all laws of physics take on their simplest form. In special relativity these frames are related by Lorentz transformations, which are parametrized by rapidity. What […]
