What are the steps in set and drift? Set and drift are two terms used to describe the effect currents have on your boat…. Find the distance to your destination in nautical miles. Divide this distance by your average speed in knots. Multiply this time by the average speed (drift) of the current. From your […]
What are the advantages and disadvantages of coal power?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of coal power? Coal energy is an affordable energy source because of the coal’s stable price compared to other fuel sources. Coal is easy to burn. Coal produces high energy upon combustion. Coal energy is inexpensive. Why should we not use coal? In 2012, coal accounted for 37.4% of […]
Where does etc occur?
Where does etc occur? Steps of the ETC The electron transport chain occurs across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its main function is to build an electrochemical gradient across the inner membrane using protons. The ETC pumps hydrogen ions out of the matrix of the mitochondria and into the intermembrane space. What is the main purpose […]
Why are the intestines shorter in a living person than in a dead person?

Is damped oscillation?
Is damped oscillation? An oscillator is anything that has a rhythmic periodic response. A damped oscillation means an oscillation that fades away with time. Examples include a swinging pendulum, a weight on a spring, and also a resistor – inductor – capacitor (RLC) circuit. What causes damped oscillation? a decrease in intensity of oscillations with […]
Does photoelectric current depend on frequency?
Does photoelectric current depend on frequency? Photoelectric effect can be explained as: it takes a specific energy to launch an electron from a metal surface. This energy is the work function which relies upon the metal. Electrons can pick up energy by collaborating with photons. Current is not dependent on the frequency of photons. What […]
What is the highest sea level in history?
What is the highest sea level in history? The current sea level is about 130 metres higher than the historical minimum. Historically low levels were reached during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), about 20,000 years ago. The last time the sea level was higher than today was during the Eemian, about 130,000 years ago. Will […]
When carbon reacts with a small amount of oxygen?
When carbon reacts with a small amount of oxygen? When carbon is oxidized in a small amount of oxygen, the principle product formed is carbon monoxide (CO), when the oxidation occurs in a higher concentration of oxygen, the principle product formed is carbon dioxide (CO2). What happens when carbon reacts with excess of oxygen? Carbon […]
How do you arrange negative numbers in ascending order?
How do you arrange negative numbers in ascending order? Arrange the following integers in ascending order, putting the smallest first. Look at the negative numbers first. The smallest negative number is -35, then -2. Then look at the positive numbers. How are numbers arranged in increasing or decreasing order? Suppose for example, 81, 97, 123, […]
