What are the factors affecting the height of the waves? Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or […]
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 are five ways to make an observation?
What are five ways to make an observation? Explain that an observation is information we gather about something by using our senses. List the five senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. Use their senses to make observations about things in the classroom. What are the direct observation methods? Observations can also be either […]
What are the harmful effects of photochemical smog?
What are the harmful effects of photochemical smog? Harmful effects of photochemical smog: It corrode metals, stones, rubber and painted surface. It causes serious health problems to senior citizens, children and people with heart and lung problems which lead to emphysema, bronchitis, asthma. What are the negative environmental and health impacts of smog? Smog can […]
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 […]
What type of object a chair a painting and a shoe are?
Which location has the greatest number of hours of daylight?
Which location has the greatest number of hours of daylight? According to records from weather stations across the US, Yuma in Arizona is the sunniest place in the world. During daylight hours, which range from 11 hours in winter to 13 in summer, it has a 90% possibility of sunshine. What angle does the sun […]
What is the function of Nucleous?
What is the function of Nucleous? The nucleus controls and regulates the activities of the cell (e.g., growth and metabolism) and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information. What function does the nucleolus perform? The nucleolus is a dynamic membrane-less structure whose primary function is ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and ribosome biogenesis. What […]
Why does cooling rate affect crystal size?
Why does cooling rate affect crystal size? As the rate of cooling increases, crystal size decreases. This means that something which cools very quickly will have smaller crystal formations, and something which cools slowly will have larger crystal formations. This is easily seen in igneous rock, which may cool at variable rates. What factors affect […]
