What is the formula to find the mass? Determine mass with force and acceleration. Newton’s second law of motion states that force equals mass times acceleration: F = ma. If you know the net force on the object, and it’s acceleration, you can rearrange this formula to find the mass: m = F / a. […]
Why do the bullet fired horizontally and the bullet dropped hit the ground at the same time?
Why do the bullet fired horizontally and the bullet dropped hit the ground at the same time? The fired bullet only experiences a horizontal force from the gun. The only vertical force acting on the fired bullet is gravity. Therefore, the fired bullet and the dropped bullet both experience the same exact downward force. This […]
How do plants maintain the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
How do plants maintain the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide? The balance of oxygen and carbondioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plants during photosynthesis and carbondioxide released by human,animals etc. The balance of oxygen and carbondioxide is made due to respreration and photosinthesis. What is the role of trees […]
What protects the cell and is selectively permeable?
What protects the cell and is selectively permeable? A selectively permeable (sometimes called semi-permeable) membrane allows some molecules across but not others. JOB: The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell and thus protects the cell. How do organelles help keep the cell alive? Core organelles are found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. […]
What is homeostasis in cells?
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?
Was the Ark bigger than the Titanic?
What is light quality?
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?
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 […]
Do fires raise soil pH?
Do fires raise soil pH? The impact of fires on vegetation and wildlife is obvious. Nutrient levels and soil organic matter both increase after fire. Spanish research showed a significant increase in soil pH, carbon and nutrients immediately after a prescribed grass fire. How is soil affected by fire? The most dramatic effect of a […]
