Why does glass amplify sound? It happens because glass resonates at frequencies we can hear. The resonant frequency of the glass changes with its thickness. When energy at that frequency meets the glass, it causes the glass to vibrate like a drum head. How do you physically amplify sound? Untitled Document. Sounds can be made […]
What is difference between PCT and DCT?
What is difference between PCT and DCT? PCT occurs after the Bowman’s capsule while DCT occurs after the loop of Henle. PCT is mainly involved in the reabsorption whereas secretion occurs in the DCT. The main difference between PCT and DCT is that PCT is the function of each part in the nephron. Which is […]
Why are steam engines inefficient?
Why are steam engines inefficient? Steam engines are extremely inefficient, wasting around 80–90 percent of all the energy they produce from coal. That means they have to burn enormous amounts of coal to produce useful amounts of power. It’s inefficient because energy is wasted as the heat and steam travel from the fire, via the […]
Do I need to discharge a capacitor?
Do I need to discharge a capacitor? You must discharge the capacitors before working on power supply circuits so you won’t get shocked. There are three different ways to discharge large filter capacitors in a power supply: with a screwdriver, the leads of a socketed 100 watt light bulb, and the leads of a high-wattage […]
What is the term for the angle at which light undergoes total internal reflection?
What is the term for the angle at which light undergoes total internal reflection? This angle of incidence is known as the critical angle; it is the largest angle of incidence for which refraction can still occur. For any angle of incidence greater than the critical angle, light will undergo total internal reflection. Which of […]
How does the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics apply to biological systems?
How does the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics apply to biological systems? Two fundamental concepts govern energy as it relates to living organisms: the First Law of Thermodynamics states that total energy in a closed system is neither lost nor gained — it is only transformed. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy […]
Can a population increase even though its growth rate is decreasing?
Can a population increase even though its growth rate is decreasing? Not only the population itself was growing, but also the doubling time was decreasing, which basically means that growth itself was growing. This rapid growth increase was mainly caused by a decreasing death rate (more rapidly than birth rate), and particularly an increase in […]
When you rub the two balloons against your hair what will happen if you bring the two balloons near each other?
When you rub the two balloons against your hair what will happen if you bring the two balloons near each other? Rubbing the balloon onto your hair or onto the wool fabric adds electrons to the balloon and causes the balloon to become negatively charged. Like charges repel (the two balloons, once charged, will move […]
How does inertia apply to bowling?
How many joules is lethal?
How many joules is lethal? 50 Joules How many joules can a human punch? 400 joules How many joules can break a bone? 375 Joules How many joules does it take to crack a skull? We scanned the models after impact and compared the resulting fractures to the victim’s skull. The energy necessary for the […]
