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 […]
Why the motion of pendulum will not be a simple harmonic motion?
Why the motion of pendulum will not be a simple harmonic motion? Any pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion when the amplitude of oscillation is small. The pendulum still oscillates, but the motion is no longer simple harmonic motion because the angular acceleration is not proportional to the negative of the angular displacement. Why is the […]
Which solid has the highest melting point?
Which solid has the highest melting point? tungsten Do impurities lower melting point? The presence of even a small amount of impurity will lower a compound’s melting point by a few degrees and broaden the melting point temperature range. Because the impurity causes defects in the crystalline lattice, it is easier to overcome the intermolecular […]
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 […]
Who is the father of atom?
Who is the father of atom? Basic Atomic Structure. The idea that everything is made of atoms was pioneered by John Dalton (1766-1844) in a book he published in 1808. He is sometimes called the “father” of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right “grandfather” might be a better term. How thick […]
What is needed for an ecosystem to support the greatest variety of organisms?
What is needed for an ecosystem to support the greatest variety of organisms? Answer: An ecosystem must contain producers, consumers, decomposers, and dead and inorganic matter. All ecosystems require energy from an external source – this is usually the sun. Plants need sunlight to photosynthesize and produce glucose, providing an energy source for other organisms. […]
What is the meaning of angle of incidence and angle of reflection?
What is the meaning of angle of incidence and angle of reflection? At the point of incidence where the ray strikes the mirror, a line can be drawn perpendicular to the surface of the mirror. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the […]
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 […]
Why is rainwater not neutral?
Why is rainwater not neutral? Not all rain can be considered pure water. Pure water is neither alkaline nor acidic. As rain falls from the atmosphere the impurities it collects changes the pH of the rain water, making it slightly acidic. How do you increase the pH of rainwater? If you need to raise the […]
