What are symptoms of timing being off? What causes ignition timing to be off? When any changes are made to the engine of a car, the ignition timing is adjusted accordingly. If not, you could experience several problems with your engine with improper ignition timing like knocking, hard to start, increase fuel usage, overheating, and […]

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 […]

What are 2 ways to keep a gas dissolved in a liquid? The solubility of a gas in a liquid will increase if: Lower the temperature of the solution , and therefore, lower the kinetic energy of the gaseous particles so they can escape the liquid phase less often. What is the general rule used […]

What happens if a hot air balloon lands in your yard? As a general rule, pilot or crew chef are supposed to ask the property owner if it is OK to land on private property and take the balloon down. If they did not ask, they are basically trespassing. Trespassing pilot and crew may harm […]

How many atoms are in FCC? four atoms What are 111 planes? The symbol (111) represents Miller indices for an infinite set of parallel planes, with intercepts 1, 1 & 1 along the three crystallographic axis (unit lattice parameter along these), which pass through lattice points. On what planes of a bcc structure can the […]

How gravity affects walking up and down the stairs? 3 Answers. You have to lift up your body mass under the presence of gravity, so you have to overcome the force of gravity. While climbing up the stairs you have to put force on ground, more then your weight, which put same force but in […]

What if there is 2 modes? Mode – The mode is the number that appears the most. If there are two numbers that appear most often (and the same number of times) then the data has two modes. This is called bimodal. If there are more than 2 then the data would be called multimodal. […]

Do airplanes have constant velocity? Since there is no net external force on the aircraft, the aircraft will maintain a constant airspeed as described by Newton’s First Law of Motion. However, if the forces become unbalanced, the aircraft will move in the direction of the greater force. How is an aircraft held into a turn? […]

What is a bias? Bias is a disproportionate weight in favor of or against an idea or thing, usually in a way that is closed-minded, prejudicial, or unfair. Biases can be innate or learned. People may develop biases for or against an individual, a group, or a belief. In science and engineering, a bias is […]
