Can humans see light speed? Yes. We can see the objects moving at speed of light. But we do not have that technology yet and we do not know if anything with mass can travel at speed of light. One can see objects if photons can reach his eyes even if he is travelling at […]

Is water displacement dependent on mass? The concept of Archimedes’ principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The mass of the displaced fluid can be expressed in terms of the density and its volume, m = […]

Why is o not stable? One oxygen atom is unstable since it has only 6 electrons in the outermost shell. For an atom to be stable it needs 8 electrons. So, for the oxygen atom to be stable it requires two more electrons in the valence shell. Why does O2 exist but not S2? In […]

How is wind speed indicated what is the unit used to define wind speed? How is Wind Speed and Direction measured? Wind speed is typically reported in miles per hour, knots, or meters per second. One mile per hour is equal to 0.45 meters per second, and 0.87 knots. Wind direction is typically reported in […]

What is a magnetic field how can the direction? the magnetic fields are the imaginary line which moves from south to north. this lines do not overlap each other. we can find the direction of the magnetic field lines by keeping a compass near to it. Why do 2 magnets repel or attract each other? […]

What are the 8 lab safety rules? General Laboratory Safety Rules Know locations of laboratory safety showers, eyewashstations, and fire extinguishers. Know emergency exit routes. Avoid skin and eye contact with all chemicals. Minimize all chemical exposures. No horseplay will be tolerated. Assume that all chemicals of unknown toxicity are highly toxic. What are the […]

What is homeostasis in cells? In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). What is homeostatic imbalance […]

What will happen when a force is applied on a moving object against the direction of motion? If the force applied on the object is in the direction of its motion, the speed of the object increases. If the force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, then it results in […]

What is light quality? Light quality is the wavelength (in nanometers, nm) within the electromagnetic spectrum; i.e. blue light is 450 nm and red light is 650 nm. Each wavelength has a different packet of radiation or energy (in J mol-1) called photons. What type of light causes damage to plants? UV-B radiation has been […]

What keeps the moon moving in a circular motion? Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. The Earth’s gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon’s velocity. What changes continuously in […]
