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 […]

What is the line of symmetry on a graph? The axis or line of symmetry is an imaginary line that runs through the center of a line or shape creating two perfectly identical halves. In higher level mathematics, you will be asked to find the axis of symmetry of a parabola. This is a parabola, […]

What happens when an atom gains or loses an electron quizlet? When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. What kind of bond is formed when two atoms share an electron? […]

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 […]

Does size affect buoyancy? Because the buoyancy of a solid cube of material depends on its density, which does not vary with the size of the object, changing the size of a cube does not affect whether it will sink or float. Do things weigh less underwater? A: When objects are placed in water, their […]

How do you solve Vo? To find the voltage at Vo, start at either end and add or subtract the voltage drop across the resistor. If we start at the 10V end: Vo = 10 – 3.58 = 6.42 V. If we start at the -2V end: Vo = -2 + 8.42 = 6.42 V. […]

How did Joseph save Egypt? Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.” […]

What are 5 examples of physical activity? Some examples of physical activity are: Going for a walk, bike, or run (join our indoor walking program). Doing household chores. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Playing at the park. Raking leaves or shovelling snow. What are the examples of moderate physical activity? Examples of moderate […]

What is a critical point of a substance? Critical point, in physics, the set of conditions under which a liquid and its vapour become identical (see phase diagram). For each substance, the conditions defining the critical point are the critical temperature, the critical pressure, and the critical density. What happens to water at its critical […]

Is 1500 watts a lot of electricity? Most electric heaters use 1,500 watts, but some are slightly less or slightly more. Since 1,000 watts equals 1 kilowatt, that means your heater uses 1.5 kilowatts of power. However, your electric bill is measured in kilowatt hours, which is the amount of energy used while running a […]
