Why can you not fart in space? The lack of gravity in space means the air in astronauts’ stomachs doesn’t separate from ingested food, so burping could expel more than just gas. Spaceflight missions also avoid serving high-flatulence foods, like Brussels sprouts and cabbage, to avoid “flammable butt gas” that’s hazardous in pressurized cabins. What […]
What is spatial polarization?
What is spatial polarization? The polarization process is likely to deepen urban socio-spatial divisions in two ways: the proportions of low- and high-income neighbourhoods can increase in the poorer and better-off parts of the city, respectively. Also, the social distance between these two parts, in absolute terms, can become more extreme. Do you think globalization […]
What is the difference between dysphasia and aphasia?
What is the difference between dysphasia and aphasia? Aphasia is the medical term for full loss of language, while dysphasia stands for partial loss of language. The word aphasia is now commonly used to describe both conditions. Can dysphasia be cured? In mild cases of dysphasia, language skills may be recovered without treatment. However, most […]
Is calcium smaller than magnesium?
Is calcium smaller than magnesium? However, a magnesium ion has a smaller radius than a calcium ion. This means that a magnesium ion polarises a carbonate ion more than a calcium ion does. Therefore, magnesium carbonate is easier to decompose than calcium carbonate and does so at a lower temperature. Why is magnesium ion smaller […]
When two waves interfere destructively what changes?
When two waves interfere destructively what changes? This is known as destructive interference. In fact, if the two waves (with the same amplitude) are shifted by exactly half a wavelength when they merge together, then the crest of one wave will match up perfectly with the trough of the other wave, and they will cancel […]
How can you tell if your 02 sensor is bad?
How big of a telescope do you need to see planets?
How big of a telescope do you need to see planets? Telescopes that have 4 or 5 inch diameters are great for viewing solar system objects like the planets, our Moon, and Jupiter’s moons. Viewing Neptune and Uranus can be difficult with a scope this small but it’s not impossible. A telescope of this size […]
What is the intensity for muscular endurance?
What is the intensity for muscular endurance? For experienced lifters who want to improve their muscular strength, aim for 8–12 reps per set for 2–4 sets, with a 2- to 3-minute rest between sets. To improve your muscular endurance, do 15–20 repetitions at no more than 50% of your 1RM, with a 2- to 3-minute […]
What is the force acting on the ball?
What is the force acting on the ball? The forces are the weight, drag, and lift. Lift and drag are actually two components of a single aerodynamic force acting on the ball. Drag acts in a direction opposite to the motion, and lift acts perpendicular to the motion. What is the action force acting on? […]
What rate is the length of the shadow changing?
What rate is the length of the shadow changing? We’ve determined the instantaneous rate of change in the position of the shadow, which is -160 ft/sec, but that figure changes dramatically as the bird moves closer to the ground (and the mouse). In which case the length of the shadow of the tree will be […]
