What is Hooke's Law used for?

Hooke's Law is the law of elasticity first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1660. Every spring or other elastic object obeys this law, but each varies in its level of resistance to stretching. Objects with more resistance stretch less under the same forces, but no matter the resistance, doubling the force doubles the stretch. This is only true up to a point, however.\nTo understand Hooke's Law and its valid range of forces, the difference between stress and strain must be understood. Stress is the amount of force experienced in each unit portion of an object. For instance, pressure is o..

Find the density of a substanceLook up the density of the substance you are attempting to convert for online or in a reference book. If it is a pure element, its density can be found on any periodic table. Density is normally listed in grams per cubic centimeter.Find the mass of the substanceWeigh your item to determine its mass in kilograms. Convert to like units of measureAt this point, you need to convert the units of measure in order to be able to work with the numbers. If the density is supplied in grams per cubic centimeter, the conversion is unnecessary; there are 1,000 grams in a kilog..
Why do living things require energy?

Living organisms represent a rich store of free energy. The primary source of energy comes from the sun. However, despite the fact that the sun is an excellent source of energy, not every life form can directly utilize the sun's energy. Plants utilize energy from the sun to manufacture sugar in the form of starch. Other living organisms use the sugar as the primary source of energy.
How do you correct spherical aberration?

Spherical aberration happens because the light rays fail to converge at a single point when using a spherical mirror or a lens. In lenses, the light waves that pass through the outer edges of a spherical lens are refracted more than the ones that pass through the center. Spherical aberration cannot be eliminated completely from a single lens, but it can reduced by bending the lens in its "best form." Coddington shape factor is used for characterizing the degree of bending.\nSimilarly, the light waves reflected from the outer edges of a spherical mirror focus closer to the mirror than the rays ..
What is the main biological function of the heart?

The pumping phase of the heart is the systole phase. It begins when the atria, which are the upper chambers of the heart, contract. They push blood through the mitral and tricuspid valves into the ventricles, which are the lower chambers in the heart. The ventricles contract and push blood through valves into the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The heart relaxes in between beats in what's called the diastole phase.

A lava dome is typically anywhere between a few meters to a kilometer in height. The shape of the dome varies and may be flat topped, piston shaped or circular. Dome volcanoes often occur in larger volcanoes and are found in the crater; however, domes can also be found away from the crater.
What are some examples of morphological convergence?

Butterflies like the monarch butterfly are brightly colored to let predators know that they are poisonous and to stay away. Other butterflies like the viceroy adapt to mimic these colors and patterns to protect themselves. Predators learn to associate the bright colors or color patterns with a prey that will make them sick or not taste good. By looking similar enough to the non-palatable species, the palatable creature is protected from more predators. Coral snakes are well known for this morphological convergence. These snakes closely mimic the pattern of a venomous king snake. Predators like..
At what temperature does ice melt?

Several different factors can also cause ice to begin melting, even at very low temperatures. Adding salt or even sugar causes normally stable ice to begin melting, either until the added substance is sufficiently diluted or the surrounding temperature lowers to the freezing point of the new solution. Convection currents of either air or water can also speed the rate at which ice melts.

DNA contains the genetic instructions for all living organisms and is used in science and technology. DNA is utilized in genetic engineering for medical and agricultural research. Forensic scientists use DNA to determine and identify individuals whose hair, blood or saliva is associated with a crime. Other uses are being experimented with such as transferring digital data into DNA for information storage.
Where do rubber trees grow?

In Africa, rubber trees are primarily found in the forests of Liberia, Nigeria, Cameroon and the Congo. More than 90 percent of the world's natural rubber comes from Southeast Asia. Rubber trees grow quickly, and are tapped for their latex when they mature, usually at around 5 or 6 years old. Just as in tapping for maple syrup, tapping for latex involves creating a cut in the trunk of the rubber tree and inserting a tapper. The trees are given a resting period to allow the wounds to heal.\nRubber tree plantations are an important source of income for indigenous communities. The National C..
