How much of Florida was underwater? As glaciers of ice in the north expanded and melted, the Florida peninsula emerged and submerged. When the sea level was lowest, the land area of Florida was much larger than it is now. The sea level was as much as 100 feet lower than at present. Florida s […]

Is absolute dating better than relative? In relative dating, fossils are dated according to the depth at which they were buried. While in the absolute dating, isotopes of carbon are used for dating fossils. The absolute dating is more precise than relative dating because it tells the exact age of the fossils. What is the […]

How many electrons are there with a charge of ΜC? Microcoulomb to Electron Charge Conversion Table Microcoulombs Electron Charge 0.000000000001 μC 6.2415 e 0.00000000001 μC 62.42 e 0.0000000001 μC 624.15 e 0.000000001 μC 6,242 e How many electrons does it take to make 100 ΜC of charge? The number of electrons that make up a […]

Why are the first 3 years of life so important? Recent research confirms that the first five years are particularly important for the development of the child’s brain, and the first three years are the most critical in shaping the child’s brain architecture. They have a direct impact on how children develop learning skills as […]

Does a bullet touch the barrel? Bullets touch the inside of the gun’s barrel during normal operation. There’s rifling inside the barrel that’s supposed to impart spin on the bullet. So the barrel rubs grooves in the bullet (this is how CSI can match a bullet to a gun) but the softer bullet does little […]

Is MRSA hard to get rid of? MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics so it can be difficult to treat. However, there are antibiotics that can treat MRSA and make the infection go away. Your doctor may culture your infection and have the lab test the bacteria to find out which antibiotic is best for […]

At what distance does gravity end? Near the surface of the Earth (sea level), gravity decreases with height such that linear extrapolation would give zero gravity at a height of one half of the Earth’s radius – (9.8 m·s−2 per 3,200 km.) What is SI unit of weight? The SI unit of mass is the […]

What are the equations of motion in circular path? An object executing uniform circular motion can be described with equations of motion. The position vector of the object is →r(t)=Acosωt^i+Asinωt^j, r → ( t ) = A cos ω t i ^ + A sin ω t j ^ , where A is the magnitude […]

What is the truck speed limit in California? 55 miles per hour How fast can trucks stop? At 55 MPH on dry pavement with good brakes, it can take a heavy vehicle about 390 feet to stop. It takes about 4 seconds. total stopping distance: At 55 MPH it will take about 6 seconds to […]

What is the relationship between metallic and ionization energy? Metallic character refers to the level of reactivity of a metal. The metallic character increases as you go down a group. Since the ionization energy decreases going down a group (or increases going up a group), the increased ability for metals lower in a group to […]
