What role do planetesimals play in the origin of the planets? A planetesimal is small bodies from which a planet originated in the early stages of formation of the solar system. Protoplanets are when planetesimals join together through collisions and through the force of gravity to form larger bodies. Because they have their gases they […]

Is 100 degrees Celsius hot? No. We can say that the temperature of boiling water is 100°C(or 100 K) more than the temperature of ice cold water. The highest temperature obtained in the large hadron collider is 5.5 trillion degrees Celsius while the temperature on the surface of sun is 5600°C. However, sun has much […]

What is the difference between successful people and normal people? Ordinary people set goals, successful people set detailed plans of actions. Successful people set their goals as well. More importantly, however, they create a detailed set of actions they need to perform in order to achieve their end goal. What is the difference between ordinary […]

What is the weakest carbon carbon bond? Alkyne What are the 4 main carbon stores? Carbon is stored on our planet in the following major sinks (1) as organic molecules in living and dead organisms found in the biosphere; (2) as the gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; (3) as organic matter in soils; (4) […]

What is the effect of grazing in our environment? Grazing can damage habitats, destroy native plants and cause soil erosion. When livestock eat native plants, invasive plants often replace them. This reduces food supply in ecosystems because the animals start competing for non-invasive plants for food. Is a grazing animal? In agriculture, grazing is a […]

What type of weather does the California Current bring? The California Current moves less water than the Gulf Stream does. But the California Current has a big effect on the climate of the West Coast of the United States. Usually, the climate along the West Coast is cooler than the climate of inland areas at […]

Does Rubber expand in hot water? The rubber band actually expands when it gets colder! This seems counterintuitive because most materials expand when they are heated and contract when they get cold. When the long chains get hotter and vibrate, they actually shorten, causing the material to contract. What is the boiling point for rubber? […]

What is the law of conservation of momentum give an example? Conservation of Momentum Examples According to the conservation of momentum, the gun receives a backward momentum. The bullet of mass m is fired with forward velocity v. The gun of mass M acquires a backward velocity u. Before firing, the total momentum is zero […]
