Can you die from doing too much homework? You may have received harried text messages over the past few days which say something like, “Studying any more today will literally kill me.” We would usually take issue with the seemingly poor use of the word “literally” here, but precedent shows that it actually is possible […]
Is fuel line measured ID or OD?
Is fuel line measured ID or OD? Tubing is OD (outside diameter) and Pipe is ID (inside diameter). So the easiest way to tell the size of your fuel line, which is tubing, is to use a combination wrench. Whichever one slips over snuggly is the winner. What size is fuel line? Recommended Size, Based […]
How do we know the nucleus is positive?
How do we know the nucleus is positive? Rutherford deduced that the atomic nucleus was positively charged because the alpha particles that he fired at the metal foils were positively charged, and like charges repel. In Rutherford’s experiments most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected. Is a nucleus positive? […]
What is the third ionization energy of a ground state Beryllium Be atom?

Which best describes the difference between radiation and conduction?
Which best describes the difference between radiation and conduction? Convection is the transfer of energy by movement of a medium, whereas radiation is the transfer of energy by, well, thermal radiation. Conduction also requires a medium, but, again, it is a fundamentally different mechanism than either convection or radiation; in this case it is the […]
Why is reflection important in writing?
Why is reflection important in writing? Reflective writing gives you the chance think about what you are doing more deeply and to learn from your experience. Writing your thoughts down makes it easier for you to think about them and make connections between what you are thinking, what you are being taught and what you […]
What does the atomic mass tell you?
What does the atomic mass tell you? The atomic mass tells us the weight of protons and neutrons. How do you know how many electrons there are surrounding the nucleus of a particular atom? Why isn’t the atomic mass always a whole number? Atomic mass is never an integer number for several reasons: The atomic […]
Does Fire Insurance Pay arson?
Does Fire Insurance Pay arson? Arson is a crime while a fire due to a natural cause is not. One standard provision of fire insurance policies would be the exclusion of fires caused by arson. This means that when your property is damaged due to arson, you will not be entitled to collect any proceeds […]
What are 2 types of speed?
What are 2 types of speed? There are two types of speed: result-speed and task-speed. What are 3 types of speed? In general, there are three types of speed limits: absolute, presumed and basic. What are 4 types of speed limits? In California, there are four major Speed Laws: Basic, Prima Facie, Maximum, and Minimum. […]
Why is a scale important on a graph?
Why is a scale important on a graph? The distance between two numbers indicates a unit and this unit remains uniform throughout a scale. Thus, a scale plays a crucial part in plotting graphs. Without scales, we won’t be able to infer anything relevant from the graph. A scale on a graph can have any […]
