What is meant by the color of law? Color of law refers to an appearance of legal power to act that may operate in violation of law. For example, if a police officer acts with the “color of law” authority to arrest someone, the arrest, if it is made without probable cause, may actually be […]
What is the difference between loudness and frequency?
What is the difference between loudness and frequency? Frequency (the number of vibrations or sound waves per second) is measured in Hertz (Hz). A sound that is 4,000 Hz (like the sound the letter “F” makes) has 4,000 waves per second. Intensity (loudness) is the amount of energy of a vibration, and is measured in […]
What causes static electricity in a person?
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? What causes […]
Why red is more energetic than yellow?
Why red is more energetic than yellow? Since, red light has lower frequency than yellow, yellow has higher momentum than red, not mass. In a way, it’s the momentum of photons which cause the radiation pressure. If the hotter an object, the brighter it glows (more energy), then why is a blue flame less visible […]
What happens to current If voltage is doubled?
What happens to current If voltage is doubled? if you increase the voltage (or electrical pressure) in a circuit then the current (flow of electrons) will increase in direct proportion, eg if you double the voltage the current flow will double. What if both voltage and resistance are doubled? and if the voltage and the […]

How do kinetic energy heat and temperature affect each other?
How do kinetic energy heat and temperature affect each other? The thermal energy, or heat, of an object is obtained by adding up the kinetic energy of all the molecules within it. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Absolute zero is the temperature where molecular motion stops and is the lowest possible […]
Are fault lines dangerous?
Are fault lines dangerous? Major active faults such as the Hayward Fault are associated with many hazards. The most obvious hazard is that of large earthquakes, which induce ground shaking over a large area that can cause heavy objects to fall and windows to shatter, and can cause structural damage to buildings and bridges. How […]
What periodic trend is most important for determining metal reactivity?
What periodic trend is most important for determining metal reactivity? Metallic and Non-metallic Character Within a compound, metal atoms have relatively low attraction for electrons, as indicated by their low electronegativities. By following the trend summary in the figure below, you can see that the most reactive metals would reside in the lower left portion […]
Can I use water instead of pouring medium?
Can I use water instead of pouring medium? Water can´t be used instead of pouring medium. Water changes the consistency of acrylic paint but it also changes the pigment density of the paint. When you dilute the acrylic paint too much with water, then the paint will no longer adhere properly to the surface. How […]
