Is heliocentric model correct? The geocentric model states that the Sun and the planets move around the Earth instead of the heliocentric model with the Sun in the center. Obviously the Earth orbits the Sun. Sure, the textbooks all say that the solar system is heliocentric. What is difference between geocentric and heliocentric? The geocentric […]

Is oxygen atom stable or unstable?
Is oxygen atom stable or unstable? One oxygen atom is unstable since it has only 6 electrons in the outermost shell. For an atom to be stable it needs 8 electrons. So, for the oxygen atom to be stable it requires two more electrons in the valence shell. Which is the least stable Carbocation? methyl […]

Effective project management entails having the following attributes that are essential in becoming an effective project manager: Effective communication skills. Strong leadership skills. Good decision maker. Technical expertise. Inspires a shared vision. Team-building skills. Cool under pressure. What is a project lifecycle? What is a Project Life Cycle? […]
How does air resistance affect cars?
How does air resistance affect cars? Air friction does not significantly affect a car’s gas mileage. Cars are slowed down when they stir up the air too much. Stirring up the air creates vortices and billows that take energy away from the car. This effect is known as “wake drag”, “pressure drag”, or “form drag”. […]
Do humans have gill slits?
Do humans have gill slits? …and other nonaquatic vertebrates exhibit gill slits even though they never breathe through gills. These slits are found in the embryos of all vertebrates because they share as common ancestors the fish in which these structures first evolved. Human embryos also exhibit by the fourth week of development a well-defined… […]
Which type of telescope is best?
Which type of telescope is best? As a rule of thumb, your telescope should have at least 2.8 inches (70 mm) aperture — and preferably more. Dobsonian telescopes, which are reflectors with a simple mount, provide lots of aperture at relatively low cost. A larger aperture lets you see fainter objects and finer detail than […]
Which represents the size of a population?
Which represents the size of a population? Population size is the number of individuals in a population. For example, a population ofinsects might consist of 100 individual insects, or many more. Population size influences the chances of a species surviving or going extinct. Generally, very small populations are at greatest risk of extinction. What are […]
What causes light beams to be parallel?
What causes light beams to be parallel? A narrower beam of laser light spreads out more quickly than a wider beam. Only an infinitely wide beam (a plane wave) does not spread out, and therefore has parallel waves. Divergence is observed by shining a laser light on a wall and then seeing the spot grow […]
Do electrons physically move?
Do electrons physically move? Electrons do physically move when a voltage is applied – extremely slowly. This works out to 8.4 cm/hour. Can an electron move? Because an electron is a quantum object with wave-like properties, it must always be vibrating at some frequency. Furthermore, an electron in a stable atomic state does not move […]
