What are the first signs of heat stress? WHAT TO LOOK FOR Heavy sweating. Cold, pale, and clammy skin. Fast, weak pulse. Nausea or vomiting. Muscle cramps. Tiredness or weakness. Dizziness. Headache. What is the difference between heat stress and heat stroke? Both heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious conditions. Heat exhaustion begins with […]
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 […]
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 […]
Is Dove soap made with lye?
Is Dove soap made with lye? Dove. It is true that the words “lye” or “sodium hydroxide” do not appear on the Dove ingredient label. But, the first ingredients listed were sodium tallowate, sodium cocoate, and sodium palm kernelate. Yes, Dove is made with lye! What can you use instead of lye in soap? The […]
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 you have a coefficient of restitution greater than 1?
Can you have a coefficient of restitution greater than 1? It normally ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision. It can be more than 1 if there is an energy gain during the collision from a chemical reaction, a reduction in rotational energy, or another internal energy decrease that […]
What is creating the solution in the design cycle?
What is creating the solution in the design cycle? Creating the Solution: Outline a plan; including time and resources. Create your solution or project while following your timeline. Your process should be documented in your journal and any changes to the final creation should be justified. Evaluating: Outline how successful your solution was, including necessary […]
At what temperature does catalase work best?
At what temperature does catalase work best? 37 degree Does catalase work better in acid or base? The catalase enzyme works best around pH 7, which is pH neutral. This indicates that it works best when there is neither excess acid nor base. At what temperature is the enzyme most active explain? about 98.6 degrees […]
What are types of damped oscillation?
What are types of damped oscillation? The diagram shown on the right indicates three types of damped harmonic motion. Critically damped: The system returns to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating. Underdamped: The system oscillates (at reduced frequency compared to the undamped case) with the amplitude gradually decreasing to zero. What is positive damping? […]
