Name 5 sources of heat energy?
Fossil fuels - coal, oil, natural gas. Biomass (including wood and charcoal). Nuclear power. Solar power. Geothermal power(volcanosVolcanoes, hot springs and geysers are sources of geothermal energy - energy from the interior of the earth. The thermal energy from these events can produce hot water or steam, which can be then piped to a power plant at the surface. This can be used to run turbines which produce electrical energy. HRD (hot, dry rock) can be used as another technique to generate thermal energy. (Water is pumped into cracks in the earth's crust. It returns to the surface as steam, which can be used to generate electricity).
Is the fresnel biprism experiment better than young's double slit experiment?
yes,because in fresnel biprism the fringe width can be increased so that the dark and bright fringes can be seen clearly by naked eyes..but there is no such problem in fresnel biprism..
in young's double slit experiment, the pattern is the superposition of interference and diffraction. but in fresnel biprism it is purely interference pattern.
What is a size independent variable?
A variable that is not affected by the size of the subject (or experimental unit).
the independet variable would be the type of fruits used and the dependent variable would be the electricity they generate.
What are the factors that can cause inaccuracy of xray results?
a subcentimeter nodular opacity is seen in the left midlung field. a subcentimeter nodular opacity is seen in the left midlung field.
How long might it take an inch of topsoil to erode on bare a slope during a a hard rain?
bla bla bla bla bla ...idont know
Can a hypothesis still be right even if the experiment says it is wrong?
Yes, although if the experiment is performed correctly there should be relatively little chance of this occurring.
This is referred to as a type II error in statistics - the data supports rejecting the hypothesis even though the hypothesis is correct.
Granite or shale heated under pressuere can form?
marble. Through the process of metamorphism, both granite and shale can be transformed into marble when subjected to heat and pressure. This process causes the minerals within the rock to recrystallize, giving marble its characteristic appearance and texture.
How air pressure change by the type of tornado?
If by type you mean Fujita (F) scale rating, then generally the stronger the tornado the lower the pressure.
Give you 5 foreign sciencetist?
archimedes- the great matematician he also known the mesaurment galilelio galelei-the one who the bodies of the solar system and he is the one who invented the telescope
What are the three types of variables?
The three types of variables are:
Independent: it is the one that you manipulate
Dependent: the one that reacts to the changes in the independent variable and is measured in a experiment
Control: all the other factors that could affect the dependent variable but are kept constant through out an experiment
The lower transmittance of film indicates higher absorption or reflectance?
The lower transmittance of film would indicate a higher Optical Density (OD), or absorption, because as concentration increases, % transmittance will decrease. This is because of Beer's Law (A = 2.00 -[log (%T)]). As you can see from the equation, transmittance is directly proportional to the outcome of absorption. High %T = Lower Absorption.
Low %T = Higher Absorption.
Why cant mercury also be known as morning or evening star?
Due to its large size, high reflectivity, and often closer proximity to Earth Venus is brighter in the sky than Mercury, and is more easily spotted. Especially since Mercury is often hidden by the glare of the sun. As a result, Venus is often the first starlike object (in terms of appearance to the naked eye) to appear in the evening, and the last to disappear in the morning.
Why molten silver cannot be used to make sharp castings?
This is a total guess, but im say maybe its because its too soft?
also i found this page
Maybe itll help?

Sorry if this was a total waste of time :]
How does the altitude of Polaris change with latitude?
the altitude of polaris is same as the latitude of your location assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere
Derive a formula in term of acceleration due to gravity and radius for the Earth escape velocity?
m= mass of object
v= velocity
R= radius of the earth
h= height from the surface to the escape velocity
(mv2 )
______ = G MEM
R + h _____
(R+h)2
v2 =GME
______
(R +h)2
Ve = (√gR2 /(R+h)2 )
How can you produce 5 volt in voltage regulator having IC LM 2941CT?
Put a voltage divider between Vout and Vadjust pins. See page 9 of the datasheet from National's site.
Is best to state the purpose of your science fair project at the conclusion of your presentation?
true
What is the definition of vertical in math?
The definition of vertical is dependent of the scale. On a small scale, it means going straight up, at right angles to the [levelled] surface of the earth at that point. Alternatively, going up the page.
Because the earth is approximately spherical, the vertical direction at he equator is different from the vertical direction at the North Pole. On that scale, one could consider the line joining the South Pole to the North Pole as the vertical. But that definition fails when you consider the earth over its orbit. So you could define it in terms of the North and South poles of the sun. But the sun itself is not stationary and so on.
What is the similarity between a clinical and laboratory thermometer?
both of them contain mercury and both are used to check temperature.
