How will you separate iron filings and sugar? By using a magnet, we can separate iron fillings and sugar from their mixture. Iron filings will stick to the surface of the magnet and sugar will be left behind. Which method should a student use to separate iron filings from a bowl of cereal? Crush the […]

How does Confirmation bias affect people? The confirmation bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to search for, favor, interpret, and recall information in a way that confirms their preexisting beliefs. The confirmation bias influences people’s judgment and decision-making in many areas of life, so it’s important to understand it. How does Confirmation bias […]

Who can beat Dark Phoenix? 3 Odin. Odin’s sword alone could destroy the universe as we know it. So, of course, he could beat the Phoenix in a fight. Literally a god, Odin makes enormous mistakes but does tend to rule much more benevolently and with a better head on his shoulders than the raw […]

Why are telescopes limited? The resolution of an optical imaging system – a microscope, telescope, or camera – can be limited by factors such as imperfections in the lenses or misalignment. Is the human eye diffraction limited? The human eye is close to being fully diffraction-limited, at least for photopic (cone-based) vision at the center […]

Why was England most successful in colonizing America? The English that settled the middle colonies of New York and Pennsylvania found good farmland that was great for growing food that could be sold in Europe. Finally, the English that colonized the southern colonies found that area was good for growing cash crops like tobacco. What […]

How fast do planes fly in mph? The typical cruising airspeed for a long-distance commercial passenger aircraft is approximately 880–926 km/h (475–500 kn; 547–575 mph). Was the mosquito faster than the Spitfire? During its trials on 16 January 1941, W4050 outpaced a Spitfire at 6,000 ft (1,800 m). The original estimates were that as the […]

Will 5kg dumbbells build muscle? and for building mass you need to lift heavy weighted dumbbell with lower rep range (10–15 counts). By lifting 5 kg for 30 count sure is difficult but it does not build the mass… it shapes the muscle and makes the biceps ripped and burns fat. so doing that is […]

What is a muscle moment arm? The moment arm of a muscle force is defined by the perpendicular distance between the muscle’s line of action and the instantaneous centre of rotation of the joint in which it spans, and represents the capacity of that muscle to exert a joint torque (Pandy, 1999). Does a longer […]

Which installation is not covered by the NEC? The NEC does not cover electrical installations in ships, water- craft, railway rolling stock, aircraft, or automotive vehicles. What is the purpose of the NEC? The NEC (the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 70) is a widely-adopted model code for the installation of electrical components and systems. […]

Why do we use resistors? A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. What causes resistors to burn? Blowing Up a […]
