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 […]
Do magnets get stronger if you stack them?
Do magnets get stronger if you stack them? Once a magnet is fully magnetised, it cannot be made any stronger as it is fully ‘saturated’. As more magnets are stacked together, the strength will increase until the length of the stack is equal to the diameter. After this point, any further magnets added will provide […]
What is the oldest ice core sample?
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 […]
How do you calculate area with pressure and force?
How do you calculate area with pressure and force? Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Because pressure is force divided by area, its meter-kilogram-second (MKS) units are newtons per square meter, or N/m2. How is area related […]
When two particles with like charges are close enough to interact is the potential energy positive or negative?
When two particles with like charges are close enough to interact is the potential energy positive or negative? The graphs of potential energy between two charges for like and unlike charges are shown below. For like charges, the potential energy is always positive, that is because we need to put energy in the system to […]
Which country is coal rich and oil poor?
Which country is coal rich and oil poor? India: Rich in coal but poor in energy. What is chemical formula of oil? The chemical formula for crude oil is CnH2n+2, where n is a positive integer. Crude oil is basically a combination of several hydrocarbon molecules, comprising hydrogen, H and carbon atoms, C. Among the […]
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 […]
What are the two theories of population?
What are the two theories of population? The theories are: 1. The Malthusian Theory of Population 2. The Optimum Theory of Population 3. The Theory of Demographic Transition. What are the three basic phases of population growth? They are: (i) the high stationary phase marked by high fertility and mortality rates; (ii) the early expanding […]
How many years does it take to be a clinical psychologist?
How many years does it take to be a clinical psychologist? To become a clinical psychologist, you will need an undergraduate degree (four to five years of college) plus a doctorate degree (four to seven years of graduate school). For this specialty area, most people will spend between eight to 12 years in higher education. […]
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 […]
