What is the difference between daylight and bright white bulbs? Bright white (4,000 to 5,000 Kelvin) is between white and blue tones. Daylight (5,000 to 6,500 Kelvin) has a more bluish tone. This light color will maximize contrast for colors, making it ideal for working, reading or applying makeup. What is standard light bulb size? […]

What is the difference between rising and sinking air? Rising air always cools, and, conversely, sinking air always warms. This type of temperature change, which is caused simply by ascent or descent in the atmosphere, is called adiabatic cooling or warming. When air moves vertically, its pressure changes. What is the diff between climate and […]

How do I know if my electric motor brushes are bad? If there’s a banging sound inside the tool’s motor when it runs, then it’s probably a brush. It could also be a bad armature, but if that is the case then it’s most likely that the brushes will have to be replaced anyway. As […]

Is any closed conducting path? There must be a closed conducting loop from the positive to the negative terminal in order to establish a circuit and to have a current. When this occurs, the circuit is opened and a closed conducting loop no longer exists. Without a closed conducting loop, there can be no circuit, […]

Has a hurricane ever hit Mississippi? 1969: Hurricane Camille Hurricane Camille is one of just four Category 5 storms to make landfall in the continental United States, according to the National Weather Service. The storm made landfall near Waveland, Mississippi, in August 1969. Storm surge reached almost 25 feet in parts of Mississippi. What was […]

Why are light bulbs brighter in a parallel circuit? When the bulbs are in parallel, each bulb sees the full voltage V so P=V2R. Since a bulb glows brighter when it gets more power the ones in parallel will glow brighter. See, the parallel combination of resistors reduces the effective resistance of the circuit. Hence […]

When was E mc2 proven? 1905 Does the inertia of a body depend on its energy content? The mass of a body is a measure of its energy-content; if the energy changes by L, the mass changes in the same sepse by L/9 10%, the energy being measured in ergs, and the mass in grammes. […]

Will the price of silver go up in 2020? In the long term, Metals Focus sees the silver price hitting a high of US$19 before the end of 2020. For 2020, physical silver investment, such as silver bullion coins and silver bars, could see a third year of growth, rising 16 percent to 215 million […]

What are some of the examples of exceptions to the patterns of our solar system? Exceptions to the rules: The generally orderly solar system also has some notable exceptions. For example, among the inner planets only earth has a large moon, and Uranus is tipped on it’s side. A successful theory must make allowances for […]

What is stream function and velocity potential? Introduction. The stream function, ,, is a function specially suited for dealing with two- dimensional flow while the velocity potential, f, is a function which may be. used with either two- or three-dimensional flow. What is unit for flow rate for gases? Because of this, meter flow rates […]
