How do you know which direction is north at night? Use the Big Dipper It’s Polaris, the North Star. Polaris is over the North Pole, so if you find it in the night sky, you’ll know where north is. How can you tell which direction you are facing? Method 1. Stand with your right arm […]
What are three space explorations?
What are three space explorations? Examples of such efforts include the development of the Curiosity Mars rover, the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and its moons, and the development of major space-based astronomical observatories such as the Hubble Space Telescope. What was the coolest space mission? Apollo 9 and 10 were again crewed test flights, but […]
Is calcium carbonate a ionic compound?
Is calcium carbonate a ionic compound? Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has ionic bonding between calcium ion Ca2+ and a polyatomic ion, CO2−3, but within the carbonate ion (CO32-), the carbon and oxygen atoms are connected by covalent bonds (shown above). Why calcium carbonate has both ionic and covalent bond? Calcium carbonate is another example of a […]
Can concave lens produce real image?
Can concave lens produce real image? Convex (converging) lenses can form either real or virtual images (cases 1 and 2, respectively), whereas concave (diverging) lenses can form only virtual images (always case 3). Real images are always inverted, but they can be either larger or smaller than the object. What are the properties of lenses? […]
What are the five factors that affect population?
What are the five factors that affect population? Factors influencing population growth Economic development. Education. Quality of children. Welfare payments/State pensions. Social and cultural factors. Availability of family planning. Female labour market participation. Death rates – Level of medical provision. What factors affect animal population? In the natural world, limiting factors like the availability of […]
Do I have to memorize kinematic equations for MCAT?
Do I have to memorize kinematic equations for MCAT? Kinematic equations are the foundation to mastering MCAT physics. Yes you have to ‘memorize’ and know the standard formulas, but it goes deeper than that. You have to understand the units, when to use which equation, and be VERY comfortable applying these concepts to the more […]
How is temperature determined?
How is temperature determined? Temperature is the quantity measured by a thermometer. Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of atoms and molecules in a system. Absolute zero is the temperature at which there is no molecular motion. There are three main temperature scales: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Does reheating meat kill bacteria? Proper […]
Did Einstein say we Cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them?
Is there gravity in a vacuum?
How photon is created?
How photon is created? A photon is produced whenever an electron in a higher-than-normal orbit falls back to its normal orbit. During the fall from high energy to normal energy, the electron emits a photon — a packet of energy — with very specific characteristics. A sodium vapor light energizes sodium atoms to generate photons. […]
