A pinwheel creates NO energy. It follows the laws of physics that require that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The energetic behaviour it exhibits is due to the gases emitted by a combustion reaction.

But currently there is a developing nova in the Pinwheel Galaxy.

A mixture of salt and sand can be separated by using the process of filtration. The mixture is poured through a filter paper or sieve, which allows the sand particles to be caught while the salt passes through as a solution. The salt water can then be evaporated to separate the salt from the water.

Anything in excess of 200G's would be similar to jumping/falling off a tall 100 story floor on a 30ft concrete floor, being in a space rocket heading straight for earth, or more realistically, the impact of a chinese satellite on the moon surface would have been about that much.

For reference, people black out at ~9G's of acceleration!

300G would be like lifting 300x your body weight

CFCs are not typically found in products manufactured after the 1990s due to their harmful impact on the environment. Common consumer products that should not contain CFCs include aerosol sprays, refrigerants, and foam insulation. It is important to check product labels and verify with manufacturers if you are unsure.

The heat resistance of a balloon depends on the material it is made of. Latex balloons can typically withstand temperatures up to 120°F (49°C) before they start to degrade and weaken, while mylar balloons can tolerate higher temperatures around 160-180°F (71-82°C). However, it is always safest to keep balloons away from direct heat sources to prevent them from bursting.

The adhesive on envelopes that you lick is typically made of a gum arabic solution or a synthetic glue compound. These substances are designed to become sticky when moistened, allowing the envelope flap to seal securely.

A fluffy mass in smoke refers to a collection of tiny, lightweight particles suspended in the air. These particles can give the appearance of a soft, billowy cloud-like structure, making the smoke appear fluffy or cotton-like in texture.

The local time difference between two places increases or decreases by 4 minutes for every 1 degree of longitude difference. Therefore, for a 47-degree difference, the local time difference would be 4 minutes x 47 = 188 minutes, or 3 hours and 8 minutes.

Store ballpoint pens vertically with the cap facing up to prevent leaking. Avoid exposing the pen to extreme temperatures, as this can cause the ink to expand and leak. Make sure the pen is securely capped when not in use to prevent air from entering and drying out the ink.

The highest strength Loctite threadlocker is the Loctite 263. It is a permanent, high-strength adhesive designed for locking and sealing large bolts and studs up to 1".

When soot (carbon particles) and water mix together, the soot particles can stick to the water molecules, creating a suspension. This can form a mixture known as blackwater, which can be difficult to separate due to the small size of the soot particles.

The aquatic insect known as a water boatman is either of the family Corixidae or Notonectidae; both bugs come in variations of brown and both live in still, or nearly still, freshwater environments. Both are found worldwide; they are of the same order, Hemiptera, and so are related to aphids and cicadas.

Corixidae is the family known in the US as water boatman; they swim near the bottom, on their fronts, and are mainly vegetarian.

A water boatman in the UK is of the family Notonectidae; they swim close to the surface, on their backs - they're also known as 'backswimmers' - and catch live food, from insects to any fish small enough for them to tackle. They have more variety in color, with shades of green or yellow, as well as brown.

The links below have more information on the varieties of these insects, and include further links with even more information.

FPS stands for "frames per second," which is a unit of measurement used to describe the number of consecutive images displayed in one second in video or animations. It is commonly used in the context of gaming and video production to indicate the smoothness and quality of motion in a video or game.

Oobleck can be made by mixing cornstarch and water together. The ratio is typically about 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part water. This mixture creates a non-Newtonian fluid that behaves as both a liquid and a solid depending on the force applied.

No, different parts of the body have varying levels of sensitivity to touch and pressure. Areas with more nerve endings, such as the fingertips and lips, are more sensitive than parts with fewer nerve endings, like the back or lower legs. Sensitivity can also be influenced by factors such as temperature, arousal, and individual differences.

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a definite chemical composition and physical properties. They are essential for the body to function properly and are found in foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats. Examples of minerals include calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium.

Most fans are designed to blow air in one direction to create a consistent airflow pattern. As a result, air typically blows out of one side of the fan where the blades are positioned to generate airflow. This design helps to maximize the efficiency of the fan in moving air effectively.

No. Boron has a Mohs hardness of about 9.5, while diamond has a Mohs hardness of 10, so it is the other way around - Diamond can scratch Boron.

Mud slides can bury your house depending on how near to the incident you live.

So therefore, you can be left homeless, or Dead. Your whole family could be buried, full villages have been known to disappear under a mudslide.

The accuracy of a water clock can vary depending on factors such as design, construction, and measurement precision. Generally, water clocks can achieve accuracies within a few minutes per day. However, more sophisticated water clocks can achieve accuracies within seconds per day.

Carbohydrates are made through a process called photosynthesis in plants, where they convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and other sugars. In animals, carbohydrates are derived from plant-based foods that are broken down into simple sugars during digestion. Some carbohydrates can also be synthesized in laboratories for various applications.

Induced species are those whose occurrence is the result of human activities or intervention, such as introduction to a new habitat, deliberate breeding, or genetic modification. These species are not naturally occurring in the area but have been brought in by humans.

to decrease air resistance, when running, sprinters let their hands hang loose instead of making fists. this decreases the amount of air your hand has to break through.
