What are the limitations of capture-recapture? Mark / Recapture Techniques These techniques have a number of limitations: The animal usually needs to be captured to be marked, which may injure it, or alter its behaviour pattern. The mark used may harm the animal – for example a dot of a particular paint may turn out […]

Which layer is closest to space? Layers of Earth’s Atmosphere exosphere—contains few particles that move into and from space. exobase—the lower boundary of the exosphere. thermosphere—temperature increases with height. The International Space Station orbits Earth in this layer. mesopause—the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere; the coldest place on Earth. What layer are satellites? […]

How do astronomers identify stars? Thus, astronomers can identify what kinds of stuff are in stars from the lines they find in the star’s spectrum. This type of study is called spectroscopy. The science of spectroscopy is quite sophisticated. Why do stars wobble? We all know that the chains of gravity shackle a planet to […]

Is it better to wear a hat in the sun? Wearing a hat outdoors is also great way to protect your hair, eyes, and skin from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. While you still need to slather your skin with sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, a hat can help give added […]

How do you find acceleration without time? If the acceleration is constant, it is possible to find acceleration without time if we have the initial and final velocity of the object as well as the amount of displacement. The formula v2=u2+2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the […]

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 […]

Does copper contain electricity? Copper has the best electrical conductivity of any metal, except silver. A good electrical conductivity is the same as a small electrical resistance….Good Electrical Conductivity. Device Use Dynamos Bicycles, power stations Is copper negative or positive? Know that the copper wire is usually positive on a speaker wire. On a standard […]

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? […]
