Draw and describe the major points of a typical stress-strain graph for a metal.

There are five major points on a typical metal's stress-strain graph. The first is the limit of proportionality. Prior to this point, the stress strain graph tends to be a straight line, ...

Why does an electric drill heat up when passing through metal compared to in thin air?

To understand why the drill produces more heat we must understand Lenz's law. Lenz's law states that the direction of an induced current is always such as to oppose the change that causes the current. In ...

A nucleus of the stable isotope Pb(208,82) has more neutrons than protons. Explain why there is this imbalance between proton and neutron numbers by referring to the forces that operate within the nucleus.

Must include 3 points from 1-5 and 1 point from 6-7 for 4 marks.1.Strong nuclear force (SNF) affects nucleons or protons and neutrons.2. SNF attraction extends up to 3 fm (allow 1–4 fm) 3...

What is the total capacitance of a circuit containing a 3microfarad capacitor and a 2microfarad capacitor in series.

For capacitors in series (1/Total capacitance)=(1/capacitance1)+(1/capacitance2).1/C=[(1/(310^-6))+(1/(210^-6))]^-1Total capacitance=1.2*10^-6=1.2microfarad

A rocket takes off by ejecting gases downwards, how does this provide lift?

The total momentum of the system must remain constant. Before take off there was a total of no momentum since there was no movement, as the gas is projected downwards, there is a need for...
