How quickly does Peat form? Peat is formed by decomposition and accumulation process of plant materials that grow on the land which is influenced by dry and wet season period. Peat formation occurs in a long period with the formation rate of about 1 mm per year (Charman, 2002), which means 1 m deep peat […]
What is the chemical name of ch2?
What is the chemical name of ch2? Methylene Why is CH2 called methylene? Methylene was used as the name for methanol, which is wood alcohol, CH3OH, in the early 19th century. Methylene comes from methe + hyde the latter being the Greek word for wood, so methylene would mean wine from wood. What is full […]
Is oxygen a donor or acceptor?
Is oxygen a donor or acceptor? Oxygen is an oxidizing agent (electron acceptor) and hydrogen is a reducing agent (electron donor). What are the best electron donors? When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in […]
Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water?
Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water? Which of the following factors does not affect the movement of ocean water? Temperature. Salinity. How temperature affects the movement of ocean water? Water expands when it warms up – heat energy makes its molecules move around more and take up more […]
What is average distance?
What is average distance? The average distance is the average shortest path of a graph, corresponding to the summa of all shortest paths between vertex couples divided for the total number of vertex couples. In quantitative terms, “high” and “low” are better defined when compared to the total number of nodes in the graph. How […]
What will make an object move in a circular path?
What will make an object move in a circular path? A centripetal force is a net force that acts on an object to keep it moving along a circular path. The tension force in the string of a swinging tethered ball and the gravitational force keeping a satellite in orbit are both examples of centripetal […]
What are the major causes of freshwater pollution?
What are the major causes of freshwater pollution? Pollution may be caused by fecal waste, chemicals, pesticides, petroleum, sediment, or even heated discharges. Polluted rivers and lakes are unfit for swimming or fishing; polluted water is unsafe to drink. How does water use impact the environment? Less Water Affects the Environment When reservoir water levels […]
What is the primary use of the following agar slant agar deep broth?
What is the direction of the electric field in the rod?
What is the direction of the electric field in the rod? The direction of the electric field is always directed in the direction that a positive test charge would be pushed or pulled if placed in the space surrounding the source charge. Since electric field is a vector quantity, it can be represented by a […]
What is negative acceleration called?
What is negative acceleration called? The other name of negative acceleration is Retardation or Deceleration. A deceleration is opposite to the acceleration. The deceleration means the decrease in the speed of body/object movement. What is negative acceleration in simple words? According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the […]
