What happens when satellites crash? The Short Answer: Two things can happen to old satellites: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth. How […]
What is a high resistance wire?
What is a high resistance wire? Resistance wire is used to control the amount of current in a circuit. High resistivity is better since a shorter wire can then be used. When it is used for heating elements for applications such as electric heaters and toasters, high resistivity and oxidation resistance is important. What’s the […]
What is the function of sodium ion in human body?
What is the function of sodium ion in human body? Sodium is both an electrolyte and mineral. It helps keep the water (the amount of fluid inside and outside the body’s cells) and electrolyte balance of the body. Sodium is also important in how nerves and muscles work. Most of the sodium in the body […]
Which is better if the discharge time of the capacitor is small or large?
Which is better if the discharge time of the capacitor is small or large? At first the current is large because the voltage is large, so charge is lost quickly and the voltage decreases rapidly. As charge is lost the voltage is reduced making the current smaller so the rate of discharging becomes progressively slower….Discharging […]
Which type of orbital is not allowed?
Which type of orbital is not allowed? The answer is d) 2d. Without going into too much detail, the 2d orbitals cannot exist because they are not allowed solutions to the Schrodinger equation. Simply put, the second energy shell, designated by a principal quantum number equal to 2, or n=2 , can only hold s […]
What are the 3 factors that impact natural selection?
What are the 3 factors that impact natural selection? Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited […]
What temperature does water boil at 100 psi?
What temperature does water boil at 100 psi? Absolute pressure Water boiling point [bara] [1×105*Pa] [psia] [°F] 6.619 96.0 325 6.757 98.0 326 6.895 100 328 Does water boil at higher pressure? A liquid at high pressure has a higher boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. For example, water boils at […]
Is Probeware an electronic tool?
Is Probeware an electronic tool? Probeware is a learning tool that connects probes and sensors to a computer running suitable software and allows students to view real-time data in a variety of formats. When placed in an inquiry-based learning context, this capacity can significantly increase speed learning. Which best describes technology’s use in science? The […]
Is there a relationship between speed and acceleration?
Is there a relationship between speed and acceleration? Speed is the distance covered in a unit of time while acceleration is the rate of change of speed. The unit of speed in the metric system is meters per second (m/s) while that of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s2). Speed is a scalar quantity […]
What is the minimum energy of harmonic oscillator?
What is the minimum energy of harmonic oscillator? Classically, the lowest energy available to an oscillator is zero, which means the momentum also is zero, and the oscillator is not moving. Compare the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator to the classical harmonic oscillator at v=1 and v=50. On what factor does the angular frequency of simple […]
