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 […]
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 minimum force must you exert to get the fridge to start moving?
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 is the angle between the two vectors?
What is the angle between the two vectors? “Angle between two vectors is the shortest angle at which any of the two vectors is rotated about the other vector such that both of the vectors have the same direction.” Furthermore, this discussion focuses on finding the angle between two standard vectors, which means their origin […]
How can you classify mixture?
How can you classify mixture? Mixtures can be classified on the basis of particle size into three different types: solutions, suspensions, and colloids. The components of a mixture retain their own physical properties. These properties can be used to separate the components by filtering, boiling, or other physical processes. Can you still recognize salt from […]
What are the effects of gravity on the movement of objects?
What are the effects of gravity on the movement of objects? Earth’s gravity affects the motion of all the objects we see in daily life by accelerating them toward the center of the earth. Therefore, to efficiently process object motion the human visual system needs to consider gravity. How is gravity related to mass? Since […]
Why does temperature pressure and density decrease with altitude?
Why does temperature pressure and density decrease with altitude? Altitude is height above sea level. The density of air decreases with height. There are two reasons: at higher altitudes, there is less air pushing down from above, and gravity is weaker farther from Earth’s center. So at higher altitudes, air molecules can spread out more, […]
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 […]
