What is the difference between fatigue and fracture? Stress, or what some experts call a fracture, is when someone or something applies a load that exceeds the ultimate strength of a material. Fatigue is a phenomenon leading to fracture under repeated or fluctuating stresses having a maximum value less than the ultimate strength of the […]

Can you destroy a photon? Photons are not indestructible. They can be destroyed, as they undergo ‘absorption’ when traveling through matter. A photon is basically, a quantum of electromagnetic energy. In the process of absorption, one or more photons can be absorbed by nuclear particles or atoms, and basically get destroyed. Can you destroy a […]

What is infinity in real life? Infinity is the idea of something that has no end. In our world we don’t have anything like it. So we imagine traveling on and on, trying hard to get there, but that is not actually infinity. If there is no reason something should stop, then it is infinite. […]

Which of the following is the final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation? oxygen What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain in photosynthesis? The final electron acceptor is NADP. In oxygenic photosynthesis, the first electron donor is water, creating oxygen as a waste product. In cyclic photophosphorylation, cytochrome b6f uses the energy […]

What keeps a person from falling out of a roller coaster? When you go upside down on a roller coaster, inertia keeps you from falling out. This resistance to a change in motion is stronger than gravity. It is what presses your body to the outside of the loop as the train spins around. What […]

Why melting ice does not raise the water level? The ice cube causes the board to displace a volume of water which has the same weight as the ice cube. Thus when the ice cube melts and the water runs off the board the water has a volume exactly equal to the volume which the […]

What is a cogeneration facility? Cogeneration—also known as combined heat and power, distributed generation, or recycled energy—is the simultaneous production of two or more forms of energy from a single fuel source. Cogeneration power plants often operate at 50 to 70 percent higher efficiency rates than single-generation facilities. What are the benefits of cogeneration? Benefits […]
