What are 2 units used for measuring volume? The base unit of volume in the SI system is the cubic meter. There are 1000 liters per cubic meter, or 1 liter contains the same volume as a cube with sides of length 10cm. A cube with sides of length of 1 cm or 1 cm3 […]
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 […]
What are the positive effects of a volcano?
What are the positive effects of a volcano? Volcanoes can provide people with many benefits such as: volcanic rock and ash provide fertile land which results in a higher crop yield for farmers. tourists are attracted to the volcano, which increases money to the local economy. geothermal energy can be harnessed, which provides free electricity […]
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 […]
How does frequency affect interference?
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 […]
At what height the acceleration due to gravity will be reduced to 36% of its value?
At what height the acceleration due to gravity will be reduced to 36% of its value? We can write the relation between actual acceleration due to gravity and the apparent acceleration due to gravity. Hence, the height above the surface of the earth where the acceleration due to gravity is reduced by 36% of its […]
What is the rate of change on a graph?
Is biome a ecosystem?
Is biome a ecosystem? A biome is a large region of the world that has similar plants, animals and other organisms that are adapted to the terrain and weather of that region. An ecosystem is the interaction of plants and animals with nonliving things and each other. Is ecosystem bigger than community? The population, which […]
What is meant by components of velocity?
What is meant by components of velocity? Determining the Components of a Velocity Vector The two parts of a vector are known as components and describe the influence of that vector in a single direction. If a projectile is launched at an angle to the horizontal, then the initial velocity of the projectile has both […]
