What should oxygen and acetylene be set at?

What should oxygen and acetylene be set at? In case the recommended working pressure settings are not indicated, safe numbers are 40 psi for oxygen and 10 psi for acetylene, regardless of cutting tip size. Simply adjust them until you get a neutral flame, but pay close attention to the acetylene pressure to prevent it […]

Can wood exist as a liquid?

Can wood exist as a liquid? As a result of the chemical, irreversible breakdown of its components, wood does not melt. Although the water and volatile matter would evaporate in the vacuum, the long cellulose fibers in wood would strongly inhibit wood’s transition to the liquid state. Can everything be a liquid? Yes, every element […]

How can we protect the cryosphere?

How can we protect the cryosphere? By quickly taking steps to curb emissions from cookstoves, forest burning, fossil fuel extraction and diesel transport countries could help preserve the cryosphere while at same time saving the lives and health of millions. What would happen if the cryosphere melted? Unsurprisingly, water from the current cryosphere melt is […]

How does angle affect work?

How does angle affect work? If you apply force at an angle instead of parallel to the direction of motion, you have to supply more force to perform the same amount of work. If you pull at an angle, the component of the force you apply that’s directed along the floor — in the direction […]

Is energy released in alpha decay?

Is energy released in alpha decay? The energy released in this α decay is in the MeV range, about 106 times as great as typical chemical reaction energies, consistent with many previous discussions. Most of this energy becomes kinetic energy of the α particle (or 4He nucleus), which moves away at high speed. Is energy […]

What happens when something reaches absolute zero?

What happens when something reaches absolute zero? At zero kelvin (minus 273 degrees Celsius) the particles stop moving and all disorder disappears. Thus, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale. Physicists have now created an atomic gas in the laboratory that nonetheless has negative Kelvin values. What determines the state of […]
