Which Cannot be separated physically? What is a Pure Substance? It is something which cannot be divided into parts by physical means, as it’s all made up of the same thing. Pure substances are either elements or compounds. Elements can NOT be separated into other types of matter (physically or chemically). What are the examples […]

What is the relationship between half-life and decay constant? This shows that the population decays exponentially at a rate that depends on the decay constant. The time required for half of the original population of radioactive atoms to decay is called the half-life. The relationship between the half-life, T1/2, and the decay constant is given […]

Can Dolphins communicate with humans? Can dolphins communicate with humans? Dolphins and humans can communicate to a limited degree. Dolphins are capable of learning skills based on human instruction and expressing certain desires. Any dolphin trainer will tell you that dolphins and humans can indeed communicate in a limited in fashion. Do we understand dolphin […]

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 […]

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 […]

Does oxygen follow octet rule? Octet rule: The concept that compounds containing carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine are more stable if these atoms have eight valence electrons. When one of these atoms has less than eight valence electrons it has an open octet. Every carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine atom in this molecule has a […]

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 […]

Does the buoyant force on a floating object depend on the weight? The buoyant force depends on the mass of the object. The buoyant force depends on the weight of the object. The buoyant force is independent of the density of the liquid. The buoyant force depends on the volume of the liquid displaced. What […]

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 […]

Which state of matter has the greatest amount of molecular motion? gas What has the greatest molecular motion? They are in constant motion and also different from molecules such as liquid molecules have more freedom of movement compared to solid molecules. At the same time they show less movement compared to gaseous molecules. In other […]
