Do forces have direction? A force is a vector quantity. As learned in an earlier unit, a vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Because a force is a vector that has a direction, it is common to represent forces using diagrams in which a force is represented by an arrow. […]
What happens when a solid is dissolved in a liquid?
What happens when a solid is dissolved in a liquid? In the simplest case it involves mixing two materials together. The most common examples of dissolving involve a solid and a liquid, usually water. When a solid dissolves the solid (solute) and the liquid (solvent) form a very close intimate mixture called a solution. Why […]
What are all the structures in cytoplasm?
What are all the structures in cytoplasm? It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus. All of the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, are located in the cytoplasm. Which […]
Is plastic or wood a better insulator?
Is plastic or wood a better insulator? Metal is a good conductor of heat, while wood and plastic are good insulators. A conductor transfers thermal energy (heat) well, while an insulator does not transfer thermal energy (heat) well. What is the warmest insulation for jackets? Loftier (or puffier, if you will) materials consist of more […]
What are two examples of colloids?
What are two examples of colloids? Examples of colloid are mayonnaise, milk, butter, gelatin, jelly, muddy water. What are the 4 types of colloids? The types of colloids includes sol, emulsion, foam, and aerosol. Sol is a colloidal suspension with solid particles in a liquid. Emulsion is between two liquids. Foam is formed when many […]
What 3 types of EM waves are dangerous to humans?
What 3 types of EM waves are dangerous to humans? The most dangerous frequencies of electromagnetic energy are X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light and microwaves. X-rays, gamma rays and UV light can damage living tissues, and microwaves can cook them. How long does it take for gamma rays to kill you? Most deaths occur within […]
Who has proved that oxygen evolved in photosynthesis comes from water?
Who has proved that oxygen evolved in photosynthesis comes from water? Cornelius van Niel Which light range is most effective in photosynthesis? The best wavelengths of visible light for photosynthesis fall within the blue range (425–450 nm) and red range (600–700 nm). Therefore, the best light sources for photosynthesis should ideally emit light in the […]
What is the difference between control variable and independent variable?
What is the difference between control variable and independent variable? Independent variable – the variable that is altered during a scientific experiment. Controlled variable – a variable that is kept the same during a scientific experiment. Any change in a controlled variable would invalidate the results. What is the different types of variables? Parts of […]
Are the layers still horizontal or are they bent Why?
Are the layers still horizontal or are they bent Why? Answer. Answer: Figure 10.6: Rocks that were originally deposited in horizontal layers can subsequently deform by tectonic forces into folds and faults. Folds constitute the twists and bends in rocks. How is horizontal unconformity formed? An angular unconformity is an unconformity where horizontally parallel strata […]
