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 […]

Is it OK to put dry ice in the freezer? If you keep it in the freezer, it will not only melt into a gas quickly, since the freezer is so much warmer than the temperature of dry ice, but it could also cause the freezer to shut down. Follow this tip: The best place […]

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 […]

What are 3 examples of invasive species? Notable examples of invasive plant species include the kudzu vine, Andean pampas grass, English ivy, Japanese knotweed, and yellow starthistle. Animal examples include the New Zealand mud snail, feral pig, European rabbit, grey squirrel, domestic cat, carp, and ferret. What are two human activities that could contribute to […]

How many H+ are pumped into the intermembrane space? During the reduction of oxygen, two H+ ions are extracted from the matrix and transferred to the reduced oxygen atom, thus forming water (H2O). Simultaneously, the complex pumps 4 H+ ions into the intermembrane space. Is Complex 2 a proton pump? Complex II does not pump […]

What are 2 disadvantages of wind energy? The two major disadvantages of wind power include initial cost and technology immaturity. Firstly, constructing turbines and wind facilities is extremely expensive. The second disadvantage is technology immaturity. Why is wind energy bad? Wind turbines are a potential threat to wildlife such as birds and bats. Deforestation to […]

What are natural esters? Natural esters are made from renewable natural sources, for example MIDEL eN 1204 (rapeseed/canola) and MIDEL eN 1215 (soybean). The base oil is chosen to give the best possible fit to the application; however unlike synthetic esters the properties of these base oils cannot be significantly altered. What are the main […]
