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 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 […]
Why do electrons do not fall in nucleus?
Why do electrons do not fall in nucleus? Quantum mechanics states that among all the possible energy levels an electron can sit in the presence of a nucleus, there is one, which has THE MINIMAL energy. This energy level is called the ground state. So, even if atoms are in a very very called environment, […]

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 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?
Which country has no volcanoes?
Which country has no volcanoes? Even though Australia is home to nearly 150 volcanoes, none of them has erupted for about 4,000 to 5,000 years! The lack of volcanic activity is due to the island’s location in relation to a tectonic plate, the two layers of the Earth’s crust (or lithosphere). In which country volcano […]
