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, […]
How does popcorn popping relate to gas laws?
How does popcorn popping relate to gas laws? This phenomenon can be explained by the Gay-Lussac gas law, which states that as the temperature of a gas increases, so does the pressure. During the explosion, the starch granules that contain the water vapor expand enormously – turning the kernel inside out and producing a fluffy […]
What is perturbation technique?
What is perturbation technique? A mathematical technique to eliminate linear terms in an equation in order to retain the nonlinear (turbulence) terms. Variables such as potential temperature (θ) or velocity (U) can be partitioned into mean (slowly varying) and perturbation (rapidly varying) components. Why do we use perturbation? Perturbation is used to find the roots […]
How do you solve C to F?
What are 3 types of electrical circuits?
What are 3 types of electrical circuits? Electric Circuit -Types of Electric Circuit. There are 5 Main Types of Electric Circuit – Close Circuit, Open Circuit, Short Circuit, Series Circuit and Parallel Circuit. What is the principle of electric bell? A bell works with the principle of working of electromagnetism. When the switch is pushed […]
Does PTSD show up on a brain scan?
Does PTSD show up on a brain scan? Brain scans can be very helpful in getting a PTSD diagnosis. Two studies published by the research team at Amen Clinics showed that brain SPECT imaging is able to differentiate PTSD from TBI with a 94% accuracy rate. Is PTSD considered a permanent disability? Post-traumatic stress disorder […]
Is tidal energy affected by the sun?
How do humans interact with the atmosphere?
How do humans interact with the atmosphere? There is substantial evidence that human activities, especially burning fossil fuels, are leading to increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which in turn amplify the natural greenhouse effect, causing the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere, ocean and land surface to increase … […]
