Which type of friction is the hardest to overcome? Static friction Do smooth tires have more friction? Under dry conditions on paved roads, a smooth tire gives better traction than a grooved or patterned tread because a larger area of contact is available to develop the frictional forces. These values represent a compromise between the […]
Why didnt Barber kill Torres?
Why didnt Barber kill Torres? The identity of Torres is defined by his being “an executioner,” whereas the barber’s identity is defined by the job that he does. The barber therefore decides not to kill Torres because he realises that this is not part of his central identity. What is the irony in just lather […]
What rocks is coarse grained?
What rocks is coarse grained? Coarse grain varieties (with mineral grains large enough to see without a magnifying glass) are called phaneritic. Granite and gabbro are examples of phaneritic igneous rocks. Fine grained rocks, where the individual grains are too small to see, are called aphanitic. Basalt is an example. What are the most common […]
How do you use a microscope to focus on objects on prepared slides?
How do you use a microscope to focus on objects on prepared slides? Viewing Prepared Slides Start by rotating the objective lens to lowest power. Place a slide on the stage, label side up, with the coverslip centered. On LOW POWER ONLY, use the coarse focus knob to get the object into focus. If you […]
What causes a solution to be conductive?
What causes a solution to be conductive? When a solution conducts electricity, the charge is carried by ions moving through the solution. Ions are atoms or small groups of atoms that have an electrical charge. Some ions have a negative charge and some have a positive charge. Pure water contains very few ions, so it […]

What are the limitations of classical mechanics?
What are the limitations of classical mechanics? One experimental phenomenon that could not be adequately explained by classical physics was black-body radiation. Hot objects emit electromagnetic radiation. The burners on most electric stoves glow red at their highest setting. What are the inadequacy of classical mechanics? The inadequacy of Classical Mechanics are : It does […]
Is buoyant force always up?
Is buoyant force always up? The buoyancy force is caused by the pressure exerted by the fluid in which an object is immersed. The buoyancy force always points upwards because the pressure of a fluid increases with depth. What force is the opposite of buoyancy? Weight W acting vertically downwards works in the opposite direction […]
Why is NASA important to our daily life?
Why is NASA important to our daily life? Space technology has helped astronauts and scientists to research stars, planets, and the creation of the universe. The technologies discovered by NASA to explore new horizons for humanity are now being put to everyday applications. How does NASA affect the environment? From solar arrays and fuel cells […]
