What are the extreme conditions of space? Extreme conditions in the ISS space environment include exposure to extreme heat and cold cycling, ultra-vacuum, atomic oxygen, and high energy radiation. What organisms can live in extreme conditions? Most extremophiles are microorganisms (and a high proportion of these are archaea), but this group also includes eukaryotes such […]
What does tightening a string do?
What does tightening a string do? Tension refers to how tightly the string is stretched. Tightening the string gives it a higher frequency while loosening it lowers the frequency. When string players tighten or loosen their strings, they are altering the pitches to make them in tune. The density of a string will also affect […]
Where is lead storage battery used?
Where is lead storage battery used? Lead–acid batteries are used in emergency lighting and to power sump pumps in case of power failure. Traction (propulsion) batteries are used in golf carts and other battery electric vehicles. Which cathode is used in lead storage battery? lead dioxide Why lead is used in batteries? Lead-acid batteries, also […]
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 […]
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 […]
How do you explain combustion?
How do you explain combustion? Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. The fuel can be a solid, liquid, or gas, although for airplane propulsion the fuel is usually […]
How do I catch up with my studies?
What are the 3 basic types of scaffolds in the construction industry?
What are the 3 basic types of scaffolds in the construction industry? Workers who use scaffolds can be divided into three groups: Suspended Scaffolds. Supported Scaffolds. Aerial Lifts. What is the narrowest scaffolding? Narrowest 600mm scaffold tower For our narrowest tower try the stair tower. It comes in a 600mm wide frame so it can […]
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 […]
What is the structure and function of biomolecules?
What is the structure and function of biomolecules? Biomolecule, also called biological molecule, any of numerous substances that are produced by cells and living organisms. Biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. What […]
