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 […]

What causes static electricity in a person? Static electricity is created when positive and negative charges aren’t balanced. Protons and neutrons don’t move around much, but electrons love to jump all over the place! When an object (or person) has extra electrons, it has a negative charge. Why is my laundry so static?

How do you calculate a pulley system? To calculate the mechanical advantage of a pulley you simply have to count the number of rope sections that support whatever object you are lifting (not counting the rope that is attached to the effort).

How does frequency affect interference? A higher frequency corresponds to a shorter wavelength. Waves of shorter wavelength spread out (diffract) less after passing through the slits, and the short wavelength leads to a smaller angle at which constructive interference (one wavelength path difference between the two waves) will occur. What is interference effect? Interference, in […]
