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). For example, in a one pulley system the MA is 1. In a […]
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 […]
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 […]
When the concentration of solute inside and outside a cell is the same?
When the concentration of solute inside and outside a cell is the same? Tonicity and cells Tonicity of solution Solute concentration Water moves… Hypertonic Higher solute in solution than in cell Out of the cell Isotonic Equal amounts of solute in cell and solution Into and out of cell at the same time Hypotonic Lower […]
What type of epithelial tissue looks stratified but is not?
What type of epithelial tissue looks stratified but is not? Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelium that appears to be stratified but instead consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and differently sized columnar cells. In pseudostratified epithelium, nuclei of neighboring cells appear at different levels rather than clustered in the basal […]
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 […]
What is the effect of changing temperature on the pressure?
What is the effect of changing temperature on the pressure? As the temperature increases, the particles move faster, and therefore have greater speeds, so greater momentum and therefore greater force when they collide with the walls, so the pressure increases. What is the relationship between air pressure and temperature? Air pressure is influenced by temperature […]
What is the correct classification of a mixture?
What is the correct classification of a mixture? Mixtures can be classified into two main categories: homogeneous and heterogeneous. A homogeneous mixture is one in which the composition of its constituents are uniformly mixed throughout. What is the correct classification of mixture in which both solid and liquid are visible? Whereas a solution in which […]
How do the equations y MX and Y KX compare?
What is easier rolling or sliding?
What is easier rolling or sliding? When an object rolls over the surface of another object ,the resistance to its motion is called rolling friction. It is always easier to roll than to slide an object over another object.So rolling friction is much less than the sliding friction. Why is sliding faster than rolling? 25ex2 […]
