What two things started Earth? When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust. Why […]
What does it mean when a nucleus is stable?
What does it mean when a nucleus is stable? Definition. Nuclear stability means that the nucleus of an element is stable and thus it does not decay spontaneously emitting any kind of radioactivity. Those nuclei with the highest binding energy per nucleon are the most stable with respect to destructive nuclear reactions. What is the […]
Why is Nhst bad?
Why is Nhst bad? NHST is unsuitable for large datasets Most NHST studies rely on nil null hypothesis testing (Nickerson, 2000) which means that H0 expects a true mean difference of exactly zero between conditions with some variation around this true zero mean. The p-value is smaller if the test statistic is larger. Why is […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 are the benefits of subject design?
What are the benefits of subject design? The main advantage that the within subject design has over the between subject design is that it requires fewer participants, making the process much more streamlined and less resource heavy. For example, if you want to test four conditions, using four groups of 30 participants is unwieldy and […]
Does all the ice melt calorimetry?
Does all the ice melt calorimetry? Once all the ice has melted, the temperature of the liquid water rises, absorbing heat at a new constant rate. At 100oC the water begins to boil….Heat and Change in Physical State. Substance Mercury Melting Point (oC) –38.9 ΔHfus, (J/g) 11.8 Boiling Point (oC) 357 ΔHvap (J/g) 272 When […]
What is one of the most important developmental tasks in late adulthood?
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 […]
Is the Carnot cycle 100% efficient?
Is the Carnot cycle 100% efficient? No,, never . It can be 100℅ only if the sink temperature is zero or the source temperature is infinite (very large value). Carnot is an ideal cycle is provides benchmark to compare efficiency of other cycles. Carnot efficiency is the maximum efficiency that can be achieved in a […]
