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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Is Q A joule or kilojoule?
How do you know if an image is real or virtual?
What would happen to pressure in the tire if some of the air were removed?
What would happen to pressure in the tire if some of the air were removed? The pressure inside the tire will keep on decreasing as more air leaks out of the tire because the number of air particles inside the tire decreases resulting in less collisions than before and due to the less frequent collisions […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
