What is the oldest ice core sample? The deepest ice core records come from Antarctica and Greenland, where the very deepest ice cores extend to 3 kilometers (over two miles) in depth. The oldest continuous ice core records extend to 130,000 years in Greenland, and 800,000 years in Antarctica. What two events must occur for […]
What sound intensity is defined as the level of pain?
Does without slipping mean no friction?
Does without slipping mean no friction? For many dynamics problems, rolling without slipping means there is a friction force acting on the wheel at the contact point P. This friction force prevents slipping. In this instance the friction is known as static friction since there is no relative sliding between the wheel and surface at […]
What is the value of 1 pico Farad?
What is the value of 1 pico Farad? 1/1,000,000,000,000 What is capacitance value? Capacitance is expressed as the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference (i.e., voltage) between them. The capacitance value of a capacitor is measured in farads (F), units named for English physicist Michael Faraday (1791–1867). A farad […]
Why centrifugal force is called pseudo-force?
Why centrifugal force is called pseudo-force? The centrifugal force is a pseudo-force because if the centripetal force ceased for an object in circular motion, the centrifugal force the body is “feeling” would instantly disappear, and the object would travel tangentially to its line of motion. Can centrifugal force overcome gravity? The centrifugal force is real […]
Why is space important?
Why is space important? Space also provides earth with valuable metals, rare objects and precious materials that can be used for medical research. Space is playing a valuable role in saving lives. If NASA stopped exploring our universe, we would not know important facts about space and our solar system. What is a fact about […]
What was the conclusion of the gold foil experiment?
What was the conclusion of the gold foil experiment? Rutherford’s gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively-charged nucleus. Based on these results, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom. Why was gold foil used in Rutherford’s experiment? Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because […]
At what altitude is 0 gravity?
At what altitude is 0 gravity? Near the surface of the Earth (sea level), gravity decreases with height such that linear extrapolation would give zero gravity at a height of one half of the Earth’s radius – (9.8 m·s−2 per 3,200 km.) Which force is always attractive in nature? gravitational force Why gravity is not […]
Is Q A joule or kilojoule?
What is hydraulic principle?
What is hydraulic principle? The basic principle behind any hydraulic system is very simple – pressure applied anywhere to a body of fluid causes a force to be transmitted equally in all directions, with the force acting at right angles to any surface in contact with the fluid. This is known as Pascal’s Law. What […]
