How does friction affect total mechanical energy? Mechanical energy is reduced due to friction and converted to heat. This is the reason why there is an increase in temperature in objects that move against each other. The role of friction in a closed system is to convert a part of the total energy to heat. […]
What are the four large units of geologic time called?
What are the four large units of geologic time called? The largest unit of geologic unit of time is an eon. Geologic time is divided into four eons: the Hadean eon, the Archean eon, the Proterozoic eon, and the Phanerozoic eon. The first three eons are part of a time interval commonly known as Precambrian […]

How does culture affect health?
How does culture affect health? Culture influences healthcare at all levels, including communications and interactions with doctors and nurses, health disparities, health care outcomes, and even the illness experience itself. People in some cultures believe illness is the will of a higher power, and may be more reluctant to receive health care. How does culture […]
What is the source of energy for regenerating ATP from ADP?
What is the source of energy for regenerating ATP from ADP? Energy derived from glucose catabolism is used to convert ADP into ATP. When ATP is used in a reaction, the third phosphate is temporarily attached to a substrate in a process called phosphorylation. What happens when ADP is converted to ATP? When one phosphate […]
How far does the tip of the minute hand of a clock move in 20 minutes if the hand is 5 inches long?
How long is a true day?
Why do some states have straight borders?
Why do some states have straight borders? Why do many of USA’s states have straight borders? Because the borders were drawn up by invaders. The immigrants from Europe had no attachment to any particular area, so they just used straight lines to make it easier for them. Sometimes, they peacefully used rivers to divide the […]
What best describes how temperature humidity and pressure vary within an air mass?
What best describes how temperature humidity and pressure vary within an air mass? Temperature and humidity vary, but pressure does not. Temperature, humidity, and pressure are basically the same all through an air mass. Temperature at the border of an air mass is always higher than in the middle. Humidity makes the pressure in an […]
How do you tell if a capacitor has failed?
How do you tell if a capacitor has failed? Use the multimeter and read the voltage on the capacitor leads. The voltage should read near 9 volts. The voltage will discharge rapidly to 0V because the capacitor is discharging through the multimeter. If the capacitor will not retain that voltage, it is defective and should […]
