What are the types of systematic errors? Systematic errors may be of four kinds: Instrumental. For example, a poorly calibrated instrument such as a thermometer that reads 102 oC when immersed in boiling water and 2 oC when immersed in ice water at atmospheric pressure. Observational. For example, parallax in reading a meter scale. Environmental. […]

Can K-type stars support life? K stars can live for 17 to 70 billion years, much longer than sunlike stars, which shine on the main sequence for only about 10 billion years. The longer lifespan of a K star would give life on an orbiting planet more time to evolve, if it ever got started. […]

What is centripetal force equal to? The magnitude F of the centripetal force is equal to the mass m of the body times its velocity squared v 2 divided by the radius r of its path: F=mv2/r. According to Newton’s third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Why […]

What is the relationship between mass and weight of an object? Mass is a measure of how much matter there is in an object, while weight is a measure of the size of the pull of gravity on the object. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg). […]

What is the significance of Thevenin equivalent circuit? Thevenin’s Theorem is especially useful in analyzing power systems and other circuits where one particular resistor in the circuit (called the “load” resistor) is subject to change, and re-calculation of the circuit is necessary with each trial value of load resistance, to determine voltage across it and […]

Do Snipers have bullet drop in warzone? M82. In another tale of semi-auto sniper rifles being underwhelming, this gun beats the Dragunov thanks to its ability to one-shot headshot in Warzone. There is one area the M82 does excel in though – bullet drop. Despite its slow velocity, your bullets barely fall out of the […]
