What allows to float? Objects with tightly packed molecules are more dense than those where the molecules are spread out. Density plays a part in why some things float and some sink. Objects that are more dense than water sink and those less dense float. When an object floats, it pushes water out of the […]
Is sound a standing wave?
Is sound a standing wave? Standing sound waves open and closed tubes. Sound waves are longitudinal waves in a medium such as air. The loudness or volume of the sound also increases with wave amplitude. In open and closed tubes, sounds waves can exist as standing waves as long as there is at least one […]
What will the era be called when William is King?
What will the era be called when William is King? William certainly has the option of choosing a new regnal name when he becomes King (perhaps one of his middle names: Arthur, Philip, or Louis, or George, like his great-grandfather), but if he keeps William, he would be known as King William V. What will […]
How do you calculate perihelion distance?
How do you calculate perihelion distance? The perihelion distance P=a(1−e) and the aphelion distance A=a(1+e) where e=0.875 is the eccentricity. This gives a perihelion distance of 2.375AU and an aphelion distance of 35.625AU. Is Kepler’s third law correct? Kepler’s third law provides an accurate description of the period and distance for a planet’s orbits about […]
Does direction matter measuring momentum?
Does direction matter measuring momentum? Direction does not matter when you are measuring momentum. Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. When objects collide, some momentum is lost. What is the difference between momentum and velocity? As nouns the difference between velocity and momentum is that velocity is (physics) a vector quantity that […]
Why does sugar melt and not burn?
Why does sugar melt and not burn? Hypothetically, if wood and sugar were assumed to have an identical chemical composition and supplied the exact same amount of heat energy, then any difference in the reaction would need to be derived from the amount of oxygen. A lack of oxygen is why sugar does not readily […]
What is Loop rule?
What is Loop rule? Kirchhoff’s loop rule states that the sum of all the electric potential differences around a loop is zero. It is also sometimes called Kirchhoff’s voltage law or Kirchhoff’s second law. The rule is an application of the conservation of energy in terms of electric potential difference, Δ V \Delta V ΔV […]
How far should the driver sit from the airbag?
How far should the driver sit from the airbag? roughly 10 inches Is it dangerous to not have a steering wheel airbag? A vehicle is only as safe as the driver behind the wheel. Vehicles came without airbags for decades before they became standard equipment. A safe, defensive driver can drive millions of miles and […]
