What is unit of modulus of elasticity? The units of modulus of elasticity are pressure units, as it is defined as stress (pressure units) divided by strain (dimensionless). Most commonly the units are Pascals (Pa) which is the SI unit, or pounds per square inch (psi) depending on the industry or geographical location. Is tensile […]
How much energy is in a firework?
How much energy is in a firework? While most real firecrackers are limited by law to 50 milligrams (mg) of gunpowder, the party poppers that are sold in stores are capped out at 16 mg of gunpowder each. Given that gunpowder has a specific energy of 3.0 Megajoules per kilogram, we can calculate that each […]
What are the 5 points of Darwin natural selection?
What are the 5 points of Darwin natural selection? Terms in this set (6) five points. competition, adaption, variation, overproduction, speciation. competition. demand by organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light. adaption. inherited characteristics that increase chance of survival. variation. overproduction. speciation. What are the 3 principles of natural selection? […]
Why is liquid water important to life?
Why is liquid water important to life? Even organisms that live in very dry places need water to live. One reason that water is so important is because it’s a liquid. This means that it can move around the materials that are needed for chemical reactions. These reactions include the ability for cells to get […]
How do you classify hydrogen?
How do you classify hydrogen? Hydrogen is most often classified as a nonmetal because it has many of the properties of nonmetals. For example, it is a gas at room temperature. However, hydrogen shares properties with the alkali metals in group 1. In liquid form, hydrogen conducts electricity just like a metal does. Can we […]
What are two recently discovered state of matter?
What are two recently discovered state of matter? The two newly discovered states of matter are Plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensate. Does liquid glass exist? Glass, however, is actually neither a liquid—supercooled or otherwise—nor a solid. It is an amorphous solid—a state somewhere between those two states of matter. And yet glass’s liquidlike properties are not […]
What are the 7 functions of the digestive system?
What are the 7 functions of the digestive system? Digestive System Physiology Ingestion of food. Secretion of fluids and digestive enzymes. Mixing and movement of food and wastes through the body. Digestion of food into smaller pieces. Absorption of nutrients. Excretion of wastes. What organs are part of the digestive system? The hollow organs that […]
What happens when an insulator is placed in an electric field?
What happens when an insulator is placed in an electric field? When an insulator, also called the dielectric, is placed in an electric field, it gets polarised. The polarised dielectric reduces the effective electric field. Can an insulator have an electric field? We define a conductor as a material in which charges are free to […]
How many billion years did it take for humans to appear on Earth?
How many billion years did it take for humans to appear on Earth? Recognizable humans emerged at most 2 million years ago, a vanishingly small period on the geological scale. The earliest undisputed evidence of life on Earth dates at least from 3.5 billion years ago, during the Eoarchean Era, after a geological crust started […]
Is it better to be under or over weight?
Is it better to be under or over weight? People who are clinically underweight face an even higher risk for dying than obese individuals, the study shows. Compared to normal-weight folks, the excessively thin have nearly twice the risk of death, researchers concluded after reviewing more than 50 prior studies. How can you tell if […]
