Why are the intestines shorter in a living person than in a dead person? The longest part of the alimentary canal, the small intestine is about 3.05 meters (10 feet) long in a living person (but about twice as long in a cadaver due to the loss of muscle tone). Which is the largest part […]
What does hypothesis mean in simple terms?
What does hypothesis mean in simple terms? A hypothesis is a suggested solution for an unexplained occurrence that does not fit into current accepted scientific theory. The basic idea of a hypothesis is that there is no pre-determined outcome. What is the best definition for the word prediction? A prediction is what someone thinks will […]
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 […]
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, […]
What are the steps in set and drift?
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 […]
Is gravity the same in a plane?
Is gravity the same in a plane? You are correct that the force of gravity is slightly less the further you get from the earth. Airlines typically cruise around 30,000 – 35,000 feet. The force of gravity on Everest is about 0.434% less than the standard 9.8N/kg. This means that one pound at Sea Level […]
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 […]
How long does it take light to travel from the sun to Pluto?
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 […]
