Which is smallest a milligram or a microgram?

A microgram is smaller than a milligram. 1000 milligrams = one gram. 100,000 micrograms = one gram. 1,000,000 nanograms = one gram.

What is the wattage of a flat iron?

The wattage of a flat iron typically ranges from 15 watts to 100 watts, with most consumer models falling between 30-60 watts. Higher wattage flat irons heat up faster and can maintain a consistent temperature, which is suitable for thicker or coarser hair types.

Why does brass not stick to magnets?

Brass is a non-magnetic material, meaning it does not contain magnetic properties. When exposed to a magnet, the atoms in brass do not align in a way that creates a magnetic field, so there is no attraction between brass and the magnet.

Where does 925 sterling silver come from?

The place where i come from is Stirling Scotland before it was named Stirling it was spelt Sterling and before that it was named Striven. In the Ochill hill's in Sterling was a silver mine and the silver that was mined from it was 925 silver and 75 part's copper as it was the highest quality it was made the bench mark for all silver to be aligned to hence the trademark Sterling Silver

How do you find the desity of a solid object?

To find the density of a solid object, you need to measure its mass and volume. The formula to calculate density is Density = Mass/Volume. Once you have these measurements, you can divide the mass by the volume to determine the density of the solid object.

What formula do water companies use to assess domestic bills?

Water companies typically calculate domestic water bills based on a combination of fixed charges (such as meter fees) and variable charges (based on the amount of water used, measured in cubic meters or gallons). The formula usually involves multiplying the water usage by a rate set by the company to determine the cost. Additional charges may apply for services like sewage treatment.

How many grams are in 15 milliliter?

Milligram is a weight or mass. Milliliter is a volume. 1 milliliter of pure water weighs 1 gram or 1000 milligrams. 15 milliliter of pure water weighs 15 gram or 15,000 milligram. Scroll down to related links and look at "Volume and capacity conversion".

How do you make long lasting bubbles?

To make long lasting bubbles, use a high-quality bubble solution, blow the bubbles in a humid environment, and try to avoid windy conditions. You can also try adding a small amount of glycerin to your bubble solution to make the bubbles last longer.

Oxygen content decreases at what rate with increased elevation?

The relationship between elevation and atmospheric oxygen content is not a simple linear one. It's actually exponential with multiple variables. The oxygen concentration as a function of elevation can be calculated from the Barometric formula: P = P0 exp(-M g z / RT) where P0 = sea level Pressure (~1000 hPa), M = mass of 1 mol of air (~0.029 kg mol-1), g = gravity (9.8 ms-2), z = elevation (m), R = gas constant (8.314 J K-1 mol-1) and T = temperature (K). However, for the first 2 km (~6500 ft) above sea level the relationship can be approximated as linear. In this case, at a constant temperature, the rate at which oxygen decreases with elevation is about 10% per km.

Why did Rutherford infer the presence of a tiny nucleus?

Rutherford inferred the presence of a tiny nucleus in an atom due to the results of his gold foil experiment, where some alpha particles were deflected at large angles. He concluded that the positive charge in an atom was concentrated in a small, dense nucleus at the center, based on the deflection patterns observed.

Can you construct a 2 hour rated barrier using metal framing and metal lath with sprayed fireproofing materials?

Yes you can create a 2 hour fire rating, but from one side only, unless you spray apply the same thickness of fire protection on both sides of the wall. Each will require well over 2" of fire protection. Use ULI design U 703 as an example. These designs are available to download on the ULI web site. This is not an inexpensive solution. A better solution would be to use regular wall boards. If spray applied materials must be used, then the only optionis the above.

How are druzy quartz made?

How in the world am I suppose to know?!

Druzy is the term given to gemstones that have a natural surface texture much like fine sugar crystals. This signature crystal formation is created by a thin layer of crystal quartz covering the surface of a host stone. Druzy is also known as "drusy" or "druse". The crystals that fill the inside cavity of a geode, such as amethyst or citrine, are also examples of druzy.

Is the pulmonic valve closed during diastole?

Yes, the pulmonic valve is closed during diastole to prevent blood from flowing back into the right ventricle after it has been pumped out during systole.

What are photochemical decomposition reactions?

Photochemical decomposition reactions occur when a compound breaks down into simpler substances due to exposure to light energy. This process often involves the absorption of photons by the compound, leading to the cleavage of chemical bonds and the formation of new products. Examples include the photolysis of ozone in the atmosphere or the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of ultraviolet light.

What is the circumference of a soda bottle?

The circumference of a soda bottle can vary depending on its size and shape. To find the circumference, measure the distance around the widest part of the bottle using a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string that you can then measure with a ruler.

Why do water drops combine on a surface?

Water drops combine on a surface due to surface tension. Surface tension is the property of a liquid that allows it to resist external forces. When two or more water drops come into contact, the surface tension between them causes them to merge into a larger drop.

What happens to a particle in a solid when cooled?

When a solid is cooled, the particles within it lose kinetic energy and move more slowly. This causes them to vibrate less and come closer together, leading to a decrease in the overall volume of the solid. As the temperature decreases further, the particles may align into a more orderly arrangement, resulting in the formation of a solid crystal structure.

You have an electric prepaid token meter Someone came round to read the meter and you don't understand why if you pay before you use the electric Will you be billed and if so why?

"STS token meters" using "sneakernet" via cards or 20 digit numeric tokens typically can't communicate back to the utility, so they still have to read them and check then for tampering.

It's less than the normal monthly readings, so the utility can save some money.


Really good prepaid smart electric meters like the Echelon (http://www.echelon.com), Elster (http://www.elster.com) or Itron (http://www.itron.com) ones communicate back to the utility company so they get usage information, and are very tamper resistant. Good prepaid electricity payment systems like UtiliFlex (http://www.utiliflex.com) gateway that information into utility company CIS systems, keeping them from having to read a meter, unless they suspect tampering from abbarent usage patterns or tamper alerts.


Does repeatedly pushing an elevator button make the elevator come sooner?

No. Pressing the button once will tell the control logic that a rider is waiting for the lift. It will respond by stopping the next upgoing or downgoing car on that floor. It's that simple.

A substance with a very low Ksp is?

A substance with a very low Ksp has low solubility in water, meaning only a small amount of it can dissolve in solution. Substances with low Ksp values tend to precipitate readily when the solution is saturated.

The process of marking tracks and sectors to prepare the disk to receive data is called what?

The process of marking tracks and sectors to prepare the disk to receive data is called formatting. This process creates the necessary structures on the disk for storing and organizing data in a way that can be easily accessed and managed by the operating system.

What is used to remove calcium carbonate deposits in toilets?

A common method to remove calcium carbonate deposits in toilets is to use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Pour vinegar into the toilet bowl, add baking soda, and let it sit for a few hours before scrubbing and flushing. You can also use a commercial descaling product specifically designed for toilets.

What are ring stands used for?

It clamps to a long neck beaker so that you can use a bunsen burner to heat whatever chemical(s) that are present in your concoction.
