What forces act on a person jumping? Part II: The Jump Whether you are standing or jumping, the only external forces acting on your body are the normal force from the ground and gravity. How can you jump? Raising your center of mass into the air seems like it would require gravity to diminish or […]
What is the difference between membrane potential and resting potential?
What is the difference between membrane potential and resting potential? For a cell’s membrane potential, the reference point is the outside of the cell. Because there is a potential difference across the cell membrane, the membrane is said to be polarized. If the membrane potential becomes more positive than it is at the resting potential, […]
What force causes current to flow?
What force causes current to flow? Electric current is flow of electrons in a conductor. The force required to make current flow through a conductor is called voltage and potential is the other term of voltage. For example, the first element has more positive charges, so it has higher potential. What’s the minimum voltage at […]
Why do toilets flush the opposite way in Australia?
Why do toilets flush the opposite way in Australia? Because of the rotation of the Earth, the Coriolis effect means that hurricanes and other giant storm systems swirl counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. In theory, the draining water in a toilet bowl (or a bathtub, or any vessel) should […]
Why is sediment transport important?
Why is sediment transport important? Sediment transport is applied to solve many environmental, geotechnical, and geological problems. Measuring or quantifying sediment transport or erosion is therefore important for coastal engineering. Movement of sediment is important in providing habitat for fish and other organisms in rivers. What are two ways water transports sediment? How do rivers […]
What are the advantages of a dynamic microphone?
What are the advantages of a dynamic microphone? Key advantages to a dynamic microphone: Rugged and able to handle high sound pressure levels, like those delivered by a kick drum. Provide good sound quality in all areas of microphone performance. They do not require a power source to run. They are relatively cheap. What do […]
What electromagnetic waves can be used for communication?
What electromagnetic waves can be used for communication? Radio waves are used for communication such as television and radio. Radio waves are transmitted easily through air. They do not cause damage if absorbed by the human body, and they can be reflected to change their direction. These properties make them ideal for communications. Which wave […]
Can 2 remote control cars same frequency?
Can 2 remote control cars same frequency? If you don’t plan to run your RC cars, trucks, boats, or aircraft alongside other radio controlled vehicles, it doesn’t really matter which frequency they use. However, running two 27MHz or two 49MHz RC cars near each other will usually result in interference—crosstalk. The radio signals get mixed […]
What is the difference between 6ka and 10kA MCB?
What is the difference between 6ka and 10kA MCB? The main difference between the two is their capacity, with the MCB rated under 100 amps with an interrupting rating of under 18,000 amps. How do you calculate kA rating? The maximum amount of current that can flow through a circuit is determined by the size […]
How do you know if a property is intensive or extensive?
How do you know if a property is intensive or extensive? Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance’s chemical identity. Which […]
