Why is my ice cream so hard? If the ice cream is not churned fast enough, larger ice crystals can develop, causing the ice cream to become too hard when frozen. The faster it is churned the more air that is whipped into it, which will help it from freezing as hard. Fat does not […]
How do you survive freezing temperature without heat?
How do you survive freezing temperature without heat? Here are a few tips to stay warm and happy this winter with no heat: Reduce as much heat loss as possible. Put blankets over all the windows and outside doors, and bean bag draft busters at the base of every door. Adding Insulation Supercharges Your Walls. […]
How do you protect a Mosfet from a short circuit?
How do you protect a Mosfet from a short circuit? The voltage across the internal resistance can be sensed using simple comparator or even a transistor, which switches on at a voltage of around 0.5V. You can thus avoid the use of a sense resistor (shunt), which usually produces an undesirable extra voltage drop. The […]
What are the rules for a series circuit?
What are the rules for a series circuit? In summary, a series circuit is defined as having only one path through which current can flow. From this definition, three rules of series circuits follow: all components share the same current; resistances add to equal a larger, total resistance; and voltage drops add to equal a […]

Which of the following accurately describes what makes a material a good conductor?
Which of the following accurately describes what makes a material a good conductor? When discussing what makes a material a good conductor you say, “They must resist neutron flow.” readily accept electron flow.” readily accept neutron flow.” resist electron flow.” If you are looking for a material that is a good conductor, you will look […]
How do rocks handle stress?
How do rocks handle stress? Rocks have three possible responses to increasing stress (illustrated in Figure below): elastic deformation: the rock returns to its original shape when the stress is removed. plastic deformation: the rock does not return to its original shape when the stress is removed. fracture: the rock breaks. What causes rocks to […]
How many different types of batteries are there?
How many different types of batteries are there? three types What is the main function of a battery? A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The […]
How long must you boil water to make it safe to drink?
How long must you boil water to make it safe to drink? Boil water, if you do not have bottled water. Boiling is sufficient to kill pathogenic bacteria, viruses and protozoa (WHO, 2015). If water is cloudy, let it settle and filter it through a clean cloth, paperboiling water towel, or coffee filter. Bring water […]
