Does Bubble Wrap actually work? Ms Edwards said the bubble wrap should also cover the metal window frames, which are “really conductive”. She said many houses in the ACT were poorly insulated. Bubble wrap works by increasing the isolative value of the window, making it effective in keeping the heat out in summer and preventing […]

Why does the solution conduct electricity when the crystals dissolved in water? When a crystal of an ionic compound dissolves in water, the ions separate. Again, the ions are free to move – so a solution of an ionic compound in water also conducts electricity. Which compound has the most ionic character? The greatest the […]

What is the fastest accelerating plane? Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird What is the highest Mach speed ever recorded? It’s Official. Guinness World Records recognized NASA’s X-43A scramjet with a new world speed record for a jet-powered aircraft – Mach 9.6, or nearly 7,000 mph. The X-43A set the new mark and broke its own world record […]

What is difference between RF and IF? RF to IF conversion is achieved using a RF device called Down-converter. Heterodyne and homodyne receiver architectures are used to convert modulated RF signal to IF signal. Superheterodyne uses 10.7MHz as first IF and 470KHz as second IF….RF vs IF. Type of application Intermediate Frequency value Radar 30MHz […]

What does it mean when a force is balanced? Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. When forces are balanced, there is no change in motion. In one of your situations in the last section, you pushed or pulled on an object from opposite directions but with the same force. What is […]

How Helmholtz double layer is formed? Electrochemical Machining When a metal electrode is placed in an electrolyte solution, an equilibrium difference usually becomes established between the metal and solution. The positive charges of cations in the solution and the negative charges of electrons in the metal electrode form the electrical double layer [4]. What are […]

Can a 7 year old start her period? Now the average age for a first period is closer to 12, with one University of Cincinnati study reporting that about 10 to 15 percent of girls enter puberty at age 7 or younger, a phenomenon known as precocious puberty. This is up from just 5 percent […]

What is the SI unit of current? ampere How do you measure current in a DC circuit? It is measured in the unit of the Ampere, simply called “Amp,” (A). The most common way to measure current in a circuit is to break the circuit open and insert an “ammeter” in series (in-line) with the […]

What are the 4 properties of metals? Properties of metals high melting points. good conductors of electricity. good conductors of heat. high density. malleable. ductile. What are the six properties of metals? Metals Lustrous (shiny) Good conductors of heat and electricity. High melting point. High density (heavy for their size) Malleable (can be hammered) Ductile […]

How does a neurotransmitter affect behavior? Nerve cells communicate messages by secreting neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters can excite or inhibit neurons (nerve cells). Each neurotransmitter can directly or indirectly influence neurons in a specific portion of the brain, thereby affecting behavior. Can a damaged brain reorganize itself? Neuroplasticity: The brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new […]
