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? […]
What forces act on a person jumping?
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, […]

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 […]
How many universes are there in a multiverse?
How many universes are there in a multiverse? in up to 11 dimensions, featuring wonders beyond our wildest imagination. And the leading version of string theory predicts a multiverse made of up to 10 to the 500 universes. Does up and down exist in space? There is an up and down in space. “Down” is […]
What is the average force of impact?
What is the average force of impact? The most straightforward way to approach the concept of average force is to multiply the constant mass times the average acceleration, and in that approach the average force is an average over time. Another approach that is valuable for assessing the impact force in high speed collisions is […]
What is the formula for oxygen?
What is the formula for oxygen? O₂ Is oxygen a mixture? *Note: pure oxygen gas consists of molecules but it is still considered an element, rather than a compound, as the molecules are made up of a single type of element….Pure Substances. Pure Substance Element or Compound? Consists of: Ammonia (NH3) compound ammonia molecules Is […]
How does shape affect diffusion?
How does shape affect diffusion? Diffusion is like going through a net or sieve. Smaller sizes and shapes pass through more easily than large ones. What is the relationship between cell size and diffusion? The surface-to-volume ratio of a sphere is 3/r; as the cell gets bigger, its surface-to-volume ratio decreases, making diffusion less efficient. […]
Is rear-wheel drive good?
Is rear-wheel drive good? RWD vehicles handle much better than front-wheel drive vehicles and you will notice the difference in curves, turns, and when navigating through traffic situations. Traction won’t be as good, especially in wet or snowy road conditions. Is rear wheel drive bad in rain? As anyone who has owned one will tell […]
