What makes up 80% of air? Air is composed of a mixture of gases and is not a gas in itself. However, air is mostly nitrogen — almost 80 percent of it. Nearly all the rest of it is oxygen, with about 1 percent being argon. All of the rest of the gases make up […]
Which gun has the most recoil?
Which gun has the most recoil? 950 JDJ. This gun is no joke. It uses 240 grains of powder to push a 2,400-grain bullet 2,100 fps. It bites on both ends though, generating 277 foot-pounds of recoil, or approximately 10 times as much as a 30-06. What rifle kicks the hardest? Petzal: The Hardest Kicking […]
What is the study of matter and energy called?
What is the study of matter and energy called? Chemistry and Physics Chemistry is the study of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and molecules. For example, the synthetic fibers in the swimmer’s suit were created in labs by chemists. Physics is the study of matter and energy at all scales—from the tiniest […]
When should I watch the Perseid meteor shower?
When should I watch the Perseid meteor shower? Perseid meteors have been streaking across our skies since around July 17. We’ll see Perseids for 10 days or so after the peak mornings on August 11, 12 and 13, though at considerably reduced numbers. Yet, each day as the moon wanes in the morning sky, less […]
What are four things that indicate that a chemical change probably happened?
What are four things that indicate that a chemical change probably happened? There are five signs of a chemical change: Color Change. Production of an odor. Change of Temperature. Evolution of a gas (formation of bubbles) Precipitate (formation of a solid) What chemical is used in hot packs? Instant Hot and Cold Packs Commercial instant […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
What are long waves?
What are long waves? Long waves, also called infragravity waves, have a wave period of 30 seconds to several minutes. Astronomical tides represent one important example of long waves. Long waves can occur in shallow water, such as the Chesapeake Bay. But long waves are not limited to what is normally considered shallow water. What […]
