What can a green leaf be compared to? A green leaf is compared to a factory as it manufactures food for the plant. Does photosynthesis occur in leaves? In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain disc-shaped structures called thylakoids, which contain the pigment […]

How do I find the mean of a frequency table? To find the mean add all the ages together and divide by the total number of children. How do you find the mean median and mode on a histogram? Mode = peak of dataset so, whichever bar of histogram is tallest, the mid point of […]

How do you use a pulley to multiply forces? To lift something four times heavier, you can use exactly the same force but only if you pull the rope four times further. If you look at what’s happening on both sides of a pulley, and multiply the force by the distance moved, you’ll find it’s […]

What Cannot be burned by fire? Riddle: What can’t be burned in fire, nor drowned in water? Answer: Ice. What is a fire risk? A fire risk is the likelihood of a fire occurring and the consequences of that fire should one occur. 4. The legally defined Responsible Person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) […]

What note is 786 Hz? The frequency of the third harmonic of middle C is 3 X 262 Hz = 786 Hz. These harmonic frequencies are the same no matter what instrument produces the middle C. How do you reduce harmonics? There are a number of methods to modify adverse system responses to harmonics: Add […]

What is Pascal law and its derivation? In the 1600’s, French scientist (Methematcian) Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) discovered one fact which is termed as Pascal’s Law. Pascal’s Law. According to Pascal’s Law, “Pressure or intensity of pressure at a point in a static. fluid will be equal in all directions”. What is Pascal’s law state its […]

Can you wire a 3 pin plug with 2 wires? No, it’ll be fine. You need an earth wire when you’ve got metal casings on appliances; the earth wire provides a preferred path to ground for a fault which results in the casing becoming live (ie, a preferred path to that path being ‘you’). Can […]

Does ozone kill bugs? This extra oxygen atom gives the molecule its ozone gas a very effective and powerful oxidizing power to kill insects, mold spores, mold growth, and odors such as pet odors and smoking odors. Bug-killing ozone gas returns to normal oxygen in about 30 to 45 minutes after turning off the ozone […]

Why uniform circular motion is not SHM? Circular motion is not a form of simple harmonic motion. SHM occurs when a particle is subjected to a force that is anti-parallel to the particle’s motion. Thus, they are very different in nature. What is epoch in SHM? An epoch, in physics, refers to the displacement acquired […]

What causes seeds to not germinate? The primary reasons for failed germination are: Seeds get eaten – mice, voles, birds, and wireworms all eat seeds. Check to see that the seed is still in the soil. Seeds rot – planted too deeply, over-watered, or in cold weather, our untreated seeds may simply rot. What are […]
