How does the inside of a toilet bowl work? Water Rushes to the Bowl The lifted flapper releases tank water into the bowl via rim jets and the larger siphon jet. The float drops as the tank empties, opening the fill valve, and the flapper drops back onto its seat. Did you know some old […]

Why did the Hungarians revolt in 1956? A spontaneous national uprising that began 12 days before in Hungary is viciously crushed by Soviet tanks and troops on November 4, 1956. The problems in Hungary began in October 1956, when thousands of protesters took to the streets demanding a more democratic political system and freedom from […]

How do you differentiate between a for-profit Organisation and a not for-profit Organisation so long utilization of available resources is concerned? As the Houston Chronicle’s James Green writes, “While the aim of for-profit organizations is to maximize profits and forward these profits to the company’s owners and shareholders, nonprofit organizations aim to provide society’s needs. […]

How fast can 125cc? Both 125cc scooters and motorbikes max out at 60mph, which is double the top speed of a 50cc. This makes them a much more suitable choice if you plan to do longer journeys, or are travelling on A roads. Whereas a 50cc makes a good choice for city riding, 125cc scooters […]

What is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on another wave? Wavelength. The wavelength of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave. It is often easiest to measure this from the trough of one wave to the […]

Where is the heater fan located? The blower fan is located inside a horizontal air conditioning unit in many home air conditioning systems, especially when the air handler is located in an attic or crawl area. Where is the heater motor? The blower motor is usually under the dashboard on the passenger side. Blower motors […]

What are 3 things that can generate electrical energy? The three major categories of energy for electricity generation are fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), nuclear energy, and renewable energy sources. Most electricity is generated with steam turbines using fossil fuels, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal energy. How do we get our energy […]

What is the potential at point B? The radius at point B is the same as in point A, hence potential energy of an electron at point B is the same as at point A. The potential energy of an electron at point B in the figure – 2.88 × 10-16 J. What is the […]

Is there a penalty for hitting the pin in golf? Thanks to a rules change by the USGA, golfers will now have three options when putting in 2019: Remove the pin completely, have someone tend the pin, or leave the pin in and unattended. If your putt hits the pin in the third scenario, there’s […]

How can you prove that mechanical energy is conserved? Proof of Conservation of Mechanical energy Therefore for every displacement of Δx, the difference between the sums of an object’s kinetic and potential energy is zero. In other words, the sum of an object’s kinetic and potential energies is constant under a conservative force. How do […]
