Science

The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena is all part of science. Nothing is immune to the scientific process: from charm quarks that haven't existed naturally since the beginning of time to Pluto, recently demoted from planet to dwarf planet. Questions on knowledge about the material and physical aspects of our world are asked and answered here.

Where did James A Lovell Jr land his shuttle?

James A. Lovell Jr. never landed a shuttle. He was an astronaut on Apollo 8 and Apollo 13 missions, which involved landing on the moon and a dramatic return to Earth in the case of Apollo 13, but he did not land a space shuttle.

What is the difference between a multistage rocket and a single stage rocket?

A single-stage rocket has all its propulsion and structure contained in a single unit, while a multistage rocket consists of two or more stages stacked on top of each other. In a multistage rocket, each stage is jettisoned when its fuel is exhausted, shedding weight and making the spacecraft lighter, enabling it to achieve higher speeds. This design allows multistage rockets to carry heavier payloads and go farther into space than single-stage rockets.

What are some superstitious belief about planets?

Some superstitious beliefs about planets include Mercury retrograde causing communication issues and technological problems, Saturn's return bringing challenges and changes in life, and the full moon leading to erratic behavior and heightened emotions. Astrology enthusiasts often associate planetary positions with specific outcomes and events in people's lives.

When it is June does the Earth tilt towards the Sun?

The Earth is always tilted by the same angle all the time. The earth orbits the sun. Where it during that orbit and where you are on the planet that determine the season you are in. You are best to look at an animation on youtube to get a feel for this phenomenon.

How does pressure due to a liquid held in a container vary with depth amount and shape and size of the container?

Pressure due to a liquid increases with depth because of the weight of the liquid above it. The pressure in a liquid is the same at a given depth regardless of the shape or size of the container, as long as the depth is the same. The shape and size of the container would only affect the pressure at different depths in the liquid.

I am the object in the solar system that can float in water if you find a bathtub big enough to hold me?

You are an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun just like planets, but they are much smaller in size. If you were to find a bathtub large enough, an asteroid would be able to float in water due to its relatively light weight compared to its volume.

When do glaciers appear to move backwards?

Glaciers appear to move backwards when they experience a process known as glacier surging. This occurs when the glacier advances at a significantly faster rate than usual, causing the ice to flow back uphill in certain areas. Glacier surging is relatively rare and can be triggered by various factors, including changes in temperature and water pressure.

What is the name for the segments of a DNA molecule that are each made up of many rungs?

The segments of a DNA molecule that are each made up of many rungs are called nucleotide sequences. These sequences consist of specific arrangements of four different nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) that form the genetic code in DNA.

What are time candles?

A time candle is a candle that burns at rate that when it burns past a certain mark the people that are using it know how long it takes for the candle to reach that mark. So a twenty second time candle will only burn for twenty seconds. Hunch1000

Does salnity increase?

Salinity can increase in bodies of water when water evaporates, leaving behind dissolved salts. Additionally, human activities such as agriculture and industry can contribute to increased salinity through the discharge of salty wastewater. Global climate change can also impact salinity levels in oceans due to changes in precipitation patterns and ice melting.

Why is a indicator's reaction in acids and bases a chemical change?

When an indicator is added to an acid or base, it undergoes a chemical reaction with the hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution. This reaction causes a change in the color of the indicator, indicating a shift in the pH of the solution. Since a new substance with different properties is formed during this reaction, it is considered a chemical change.

What is the tendency of a moving object to keep moving?

An object that is IN motion tends to remain that way. Check out Newton's laws of thermodynamics. Basically, he postulated that things moving tend to keep moving, things stationary tend to stay stationary, and left to themselves, most thing degrade into chaos. This might sound silly, but you have to examine the statement a bit more. It's 'outside' forces, like gravity, friction, etc that act on objects to alter their movement or lack thereof. If you can imagine, for example a large glass bowl that has a vacuum inside it, and somehow, you could negate the force of gravity and friction as well. If you set a top spinning in the bowl, it would continue to spin forever - no friction to slow it down, no gravity to cause it to tip over, no air to cause drag, etc etc.

Why is it necessary to have a closed circut to have a complete transfer of energy?

A closed circuit ensures that there is a continuous path for the flow of electrons, allowing a complete transfer of energy. When the circuit is open, there is no complete path for the energy to flow, resulting in a disruption of the transfer process.

How do humans affect the planet?

Humans have affects on the planet whether they be good or bad. GOOD! Helping animals in distress (The baby penguin incident with the camera men) BAD! Polluting the Sea! We all live on this planet and all need to protect it! Pepper Pascoe- 13

Where does fructose and via facilitated diffuse to?

Fructose and via facilitate diffusion to be transported into the cell via GLUT5 transporters. These transporters are responsible for allowing fructose and via to cross the cell membrane and enter the cell for metabolism and energy production.

What does minor field of study mean?

A minor field of study is a secondary area of academic focus that students can choose to complement their major area of study. It typically involves completing a smaller number of courses compared to the major and provides students with a well-rounded education in more than one subject area.

Why are shadows long in summer?

Simply because the Sun is lower in the sky.
The sun is in the southern hemisphere in the winter and this lower sun makes longer shadows. This is similar to the longer shadows in the afternoon, when the lower sun makes longer shadows.

Two countries which were originally part of German East Africa but were given to the Belgians after World War 1 are?

Rwanda and Burundi were originally part of German East Africa but were allocated to Belgium as mandated territories by the League of Nations after World War I. They were known as Ruanda-Urundi during this period.

Why does Earth have a liquid water supply and the moon does not?

It has an atmosphere because if it didn't, all living things could die from the sun rays. Technically, the atmosphere is like a shield to a knight, it protects the knight from arrows, like the atmosphere protects the earth from deadly sun rays.

Actually the earth's atmosphere was kinda made on accident. It started because Volcanoes, and Comets blew/hit and released gases which reacted with eachother. Therefore causing the atmosphere

An object weighs 300N on Earth and 50N on the moon Does the object also have less inertia on the moon?

No, the object's inertia remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth, despite weighing less due to the moon's lower gravity. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its motion, determined by its mass, which remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting upon it.

Which brand of candles burn the fastest?

There must be thousands of different brands of candles. Maybe you meant to ask what type, like paraffin or Beeswax?

From my experience with candles, the ones that burn fastest are narrow paraffin candles, especially cheap ones. Birthday cake candles are a good example. A narrow candle has a smaller liquid pool at the top, causing the wick to burn down quicker, and also allows a lot of the wax to run down the sides of the candle, which starves the wick of wax and consumes it faster. Also, the size of the flame is not necessarily larger on a bigger candle. Flame size is dependent upon the size of the wick, and the liquid wax's ability to saturate and climb it. The wick only begins to shorten when there is not enough wax available to keep the wick saturated. A thinner candle generally has a higher Flame/mass ratio, allowing the wax to be consumed faster.

How did the space race spur the development of integrated circuit computers?

The greatest motivation was making things lighter and smaller, so we didn't have to burn as much rocket fuel to put it up there. Since the people who were doing that stuff were so smart, they also figured they might as well make it work faster and use less energy, too. Also, the grants from the government helped motivate people to publish their work and gave them some very cool tools to make the work more efficient. Among other considerations...

What are the first two rovers on Mars?

There are 2 rovers on mars because so one can go here and find something and the other can find something else some were else. OKAY?

How long is Jupiter days than earth?
