Physics Questions

Gear finishing operation is called Burnishing.

1 atm: It was originally defined as the pressure exerted by 760 mm of mercury at 0 °C and standard gravity (g = 9.80665 m/s2).

A Mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed.

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

* A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.

* A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present.

Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances.

The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.

What is the cause of a sea breeze?

The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.

Albedo refers to a material's ability to reflect sunlight. Since 30% of the sun's energy is reflected by the entire earth, the earth has an average albedo of 0.30.

Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo.
