Why did F1 stop using slicks? Formula 1 got rid of the ‘slicks’ and re-introduced ‘grooved’ tyres. The sole purpose of the move was to curb the increasing cornering speeds. Those grooved tyres had three parallel grooves in the front tyres and four parallel grooves in the rear tyres. Are F1 Tyres smooth? ‘Slick’ tyres […]

What are the main components of a map? There are three Components of Maps – distance, direction and symbol. Maps are drawings, which reduce the entire world or a part of it to fit on a sheet of paper. Or we can say maps are drawn to reduced scales. But this reduction is done very […]

How can I tell if my glass is heat-resistant? If it is a heat-resistant glass, there will generally be a corresponding label on the glass, indicating the temperature and range of use; If you find nominal Pyrex glass at a low price, consider its authenticity. Is all glass heat-resistant? Glass is thermal-shock resistant, meaning it […]

How far away can the siren be heard? The physics of sound will reduce the volume of the siren as the distance from the siren increases. With today’s modern vehicles, the effective range of the siren at a 90-degree intersection is often no more than 80 feet. Does pitch change with distance? Sound waves that […]

Why COP of heat pump is more than refrigerator? (See thermal efficiency of a heat engine.) Note that the COP of a heat pump depends on its direction. The heat rejected to the hot sink is greater than the heat absorbed from the cold source, so the heating COP is greater by one than the […]

What are 6 different tests that are used to identify minerals? Geologists use the following tests to distinguish minerals and the rocks they make: hardness, color, streak, luster, cleavage and chemical reaction. What are the two main types of mineral classification? Minerals are classified based on their crystal form and chemistry. Minerals are divided into […]

Will Dust Bowl happen again? More than eight decades later, the summer of 1936 remains the hottest summer on record in the U.S. However, new research finds that the heat waves that powered the Dust Bowl are now 2.5 times more likely to happen again in our modern climate due to another type of manmade […]

Is burning 300 calories a day good? The participants who exercised for 30 minutes a day, burning 300 calories, lost an average of 7 pounds.
