What is one of the most important developmental tasks in late adulthood? Newman and Newman (2012) identify developmental tasks as areas of learning for most people in modern society. They associate the stage of later adulthood (60 to 75) with such tasks as accepting one’s life, redirecting energy toward new roles, promoting intellectual vigor and […]
How do I identify an alluvial fan?
How do I identify an alluvial fan? Check the mouths of tributaries in larger valleys while in the field. Check topographic maps, and look for fan shaped elevation lines at the mouths of tributaries. Check soils maps for soils designated as “local alluvium.” What is the human impact of alluvial fan? Willful and continuous interference […]
Why is a car crash inelastic?
Why is a car crash inelastic? Collisions are considered inelastic when kinetic energy is not conserved, but this could be from either a loss or gain or kinetic energy. For example, in an explosion-type collision, the kinetic energy increases. It is common for people to try to conserve energy in a collision. What happens in […]
How do we use infrared waves in everyday life?
How do we use infrared waves in everyday life? Infrared (IR) light is used by electrical heaters, cookers for cooking food, short-range communications like remote controls, optical fibres, security systems and thermal imaging cameras which detect people in the dark. The heating effect of IR can cause burns to the skin. Can deer see IR […]
Why capacitors are of little use for storage of energy?
Why capacitors are of little use for storage of energy? Capacitors are not ideal for energy storage because they discharge very fast and then they are of no use until recharged. Explanation: They are designed to perform different tasks than a battery. They are not suitable to deliver slow discharge for a long time like […]
Is deceleration a physics word?
Is deceleration a physics word? Rick suggests: “Deceleration” is not actually a term in physics. It is only an English word used in common speech, meaning “a decrease in speed.” The problem with this word is that some students mistake it to mean the same as negative acceleration. Is deceleration a vector quantity? In a […]

What does a horizontal line indicate?
What does a horizontal line indicate? A horizontal line is commonly used in technical analysis to mark areas of support or resistance. A horizontal line runs parallel to the x-axis. In technical analysis, the horizontal line is typically drawn along a swing high, or a series of them, where each high in the series stopped […]
What is the latent heat of fusion of ice of 2 grams?
What is the coating on the inside of a light bulb?
What is the coating on the inside of a light bulb? The white powder coating inside the glass tubing of a CFL contains a fluorescent coating. When electricity enters a CFL, mercury and argon fumes inside the bulb produce invisible ultraviolet (UV) light. This UV light reacts with the fluorescent coating to produce the white, […]
