How can we protect our rivers? Always segregate your household garbage into biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Volunteer with NGOs and community groups that are working to save and protect our rivers from pollution. In this way, you will be able to learn more and can easily volunteer for the projects that are dedicated to restoring […]
What force is used to lift a weight?
How long can you live with ischemic heart disease?
How long can you live with ischemic heart disease? On average, women live longer than men with heart disease. At age 50 women can expect to live 7.9 years and men 6.7 years with heart disease. The average woman experiences heart disease onset three years older and heart attacks 4.4 years older than men. Can […]
What are three primary methods of monitoring volcanic activity?
What are three primary methods of monitoring volcanic activity? Volcanologists use many different kinds of tools including instruments that detect and record earthquakes (seismometers and seimographs), instruments that measure ground deformation (EDM, Leveling, GPS, tilt), instruments that detect and measure volcanic gases (COSPEC), instruments that determine how much lava is … How can we detect […]
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 is it possible to use physical properties to separate a mixture?
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 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, […]
