Why does gas pressure increase when more particles are added? Adding more molecules of a gas increases the number of collisions between the molecules and the walls of the container. This raises pressure. By their very nature, gases can be compressed, so if the same gas can be put into a smaller container, it will […]
Who found solar energy?
Who found solar energy? A solar cell is a device that converts light directly into electricity using the photoelectric effect. The first solar cell was constructed by Charles Fritts in the 1880s. How do we convert solar energy into electricity? When light energy from the sun strikes a photovoltaic solar cell, it energizes the cell […]
What are the themes of Native American literature?
What are the themes of Native American literature? Though each nation has its own stories, several themes that are common across the tribes are the link between the land and the people, a hero’s journey, and the supernatural and natural worlds. American Indian stories influenced and helped shape later American literature. What are 5 characteristics […]
How expensive is a dock?
How expensive is a dock? On average, expect to pay $8,000 to $30,000 for a standard sized permanent boat dock. For a very small dock, you may get away with paying as little as $5,000. Piling docks cost $20 to $40 per square foot including installation. The most expensive types of docks usually max out […]
What are the two major types of seismic waves?
What are the two major types of seismic waves? There are two broad classes of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel within the body of Earth. They include P, or primary, waves and S, or secondary, waves. What are the slowest seismic waves? The slowest waves, surface waves, arrive last. They […]
Which Great Lake is the most dangerous?
Will wind ever stop blowing?
Will wind ever stop blowing? Wind is the atmosphere trying to reach a pressure equilibrium. If the pressure is equalized, there will be no more wind. Which is rare on our planet as different areas are always heating and cooling. Hotter air is lower pressure and cooler air is higher pressure. Where on earth is […]
What happens if mass and velocity are doubled?
What happens if mass and velocity are doubled? Mass and velocity are both directly proportional to the momentum. If you increase either mass or velocity, the momentum of the object increases proportionally. If you double the mass or velocity you double the momentum. What happens to the kinetic energy when the mass and velocity is […]
Is C3H8 O2 CO2 H2O balanced?
What are two requirements for current flow?
What are two requirements for current flow? To produce an electric current, three things are needed: a supply of electric charges (electrons) which are free to flow, some form of push to move the charges through the circuit and a pathway to carry the charges. The pathway to carry the charges is usually a copper […]
