Physics Questions

Buoyancy or Upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.

In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.

The carbon arc lamp was the first widely-used type of electric light and the first commercially successful form of electric lamp.

Here are the Carbon Arc Lamp Uses :

-Super bright light, capable of lighting a large length of street or a large factory interior.

-Was the ONLY electric light available to light large areas from 1800 - 1901.

-Was cheaper to light streets with the arc lamp than gas or oil lamps.

Evaporation is the process that allows water to enter into the atmosphere.

Sunlight turns liquid water into water vapor which then rises higher into the atmosphere and forms into clouds.

Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration.

A fixture is defined as a device which holds and locates a workpiece and guides and controls one or more cutting tools.

Gear Lapping is an operation after heat treatment. Gear lapping is the process of imparting a very fine finish and high degree of accuracy to gear teeth, by using a lapping tool and applying a fine-grained abrasive between a work material and a closely fitting surface, called a lapping plate.

Turbines are machines powered by rotating blades.

During convection, cool and dense air falls through the warmer and less dense air. The warm air having less mass is being displaced by the cooler which is much heavy. Convection always involves the air rising through the atmosphere.
