What are the three main parts of a blueprint? Blueprints are documents that contain three major elements: the drawing, dimensions, and notes. The drawing illustrates the views of the part necessary to show its features. Together, the extension and dimension lines on the drawing indicate dimensions and specific tolerance information of each feature. What does […]

How do you calculate isothermal compression? It is also worth noting that for ideal gases, if the temperature is held constant, the internal energy of the system also is constant, and so ΔU = 0. Since the First Law of Thermodynamics states that ΔU = Q + W (IUPAC convention), it follows that Q = […]

Is Type 1 or 2 error worse? Of course you wouldn’t want to let a guilty person off the hook, but most people would say that sentencing an innocent person to such punishment is a worse consequence. Hence, many textbooks and instructors will say that the Type 1 (false positive) is worse than a Type […]

What is the difference between SAR and radar? SAR uses the motion of the radar antenna over a target region to provide finer spatial resolution than conventional beam-scanning radars. Additionally, SAR has the property of having larger apertures for more distant objects, allowing consistent spatial resolution over a range of viewing distances. What is the […]

What will possibly happen when rocks bend without breaking? If rocks tend to bend without breaking, they are said to be ductile. If a rock bends but is able to return to its original position when the stress is released, it is said to undergo elastic behavior. Earthquakes and faults occur in the shallow crust, […]

What are the properties of the fourth state of matter? A plasma is an ionized gas, a gas into which sufficient energy is provided to free electrons from atoms or molecules and to allow both species, ions and electrons, to coexist. Plasma is the fourth state of matter. What is the 4th state in the […]

Is hydrogen peroxide supposed to foam? Hydrogen peroxide does not foam in the bottle or on your skin because there is no catalase to help the reaction to occur. Hydrogen peroxide is stable at room temperature. What is the changing of liquid to a gas called? At a certain temperature, the particles in a liquid […]

Is normal force a centripetal force? The normal force and a component of the weight point toward the center of the loop (the component perpendicular to the loop), so they get to be the centripetal force. How is centripetal force calculated? Centripetal force is measured in Newtons and is calculated as the mass (in kg), […]

How does a surface wave form quizlet? Surface Waves: Forms when P and S waves reach the surface, move more slowly than P waves and S waves, they can produce severe ground movements, some make the ground roll like ocean waves, other surface waves shake buildings from side to side. P Waves-The crust vibrates forward […]

What is the difference between the bell and the diaphragm of a stethoscope? The bell effect is created by light pressure on the stethoscope. Firm pressure makes the stethoscope behave like it should with a diaphragm. The difference between the diaphragm and the bell is that the bell allows low frequency sounds, which permits hearing […]
