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? 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 […]

Is buoyant force constant? Because the volume is the same at any depth, and the density of water is the same at any depth, the total mass of displaced water (mass = volume x density) is the same at any depth—making the buoyant force constant. Why is a heavier object more likely than a lighter […]

What type of object a chair a painting and a shoe are? Objects like a chair, a painting, or a shoe do not have their own light. We see these when light from a luminous object (like the Sun, a torch, or an electric light) falls on these and then travels towards our eye. Why […]

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 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 […]

Is Bangladesh in Pakistan or India? Pakistan and Bangladesh are two separate and independent countries physically divided by India. Historically, this was not always the case: from 1947 to 1971 they were administered under the same government. The two countries share a number of attributes. How are rivers important to the peoples of Pakistan and […]

Why is it possible to use physical properties to separate a mixture? The substances in a mixture are separated by the differences in their physical properties, such as their particle size. The more different the properties are, the easier it is to separate the substances. What are three physical properties used to separate mixtures? Physical […]

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 […]

How do you cover a fruit tree with netting? When you install netting, you have two options. You can make a frame to hold the netting away from the branches or you can drape the net directly over the tree. Using a frame keeps birds from pecking at fruit on the outside of the tree […]
