Calculating the Rate of Decay

Calculating the Rate of Decay

Decay measures how quickly something disappears or dies. Decay is often used to quantify the exponential decrease of bacteria or nuclear waste. In order to calculate exponential decay, you need to know the initial population and final population. Exponential decay…

Calculating Velocity Using Force and Distance

Calculating Velocity Using Force and Distance

In physics, you perform work when you apply force to an object and move it over a distance. No work happens if the object does not move, no matter how much force you apply. When you perform work, it generates…

Understanding Rainforest Decomposers

Understanding Rainforest Decomposers

Decomposers are living things that get their energy from the waste materials of other organisms. The rainforest ecosystem relies on these organisms to break down waste materials into usable energy for other plants. Because of the abundance of life in…

Methods for Measuring Grams Without a Scale

Methods for Measuring Grams Without a Scale

No scale is needed to determine the weight of a sample in grams. A metric unit for measuring the mass of objects, grams are often used in science experiments. When you do not have a scale, you can make a…

Are Ions Hydrophobic or Hydrophilic?

Are Ions Hydrophobic or Hydrophilic?

Ions are hydrophilic or attracted to water molecules because the water molecules are polar, with a negative charge at one end and a positive charge at the other end. The positively charged end of the water molecule attracts negatively charged…

Factoring Third Power Polynomials

Factoring Third Power Polynomials

A third power polynomial, also called a cubic polynomial, includes at least one monomial or term that is cubed, or raised to the third power. An example of a third power polynomial is (4x^3-18x^2-10x) To learn how to factor these…

Natural Resources Found in the Coastal Plains

Natural Resources Found in the Coastal Plains

Coastal plains are flat, low-lying areas adjacent to coastlines. They may be separated from surrounding areas by hills or mountains, or they may transition gradually into higher ground. Partly because they were underwater at some time in the past, they…

Understanding the Life Cycle of a Roly Poly

Understanding the Life Cycle of a Roly Poly

Because they can be located almost anywhere in the United States, just about everyone knows something about the roly poly, or pillbug. The roly poly is an isopod, meaning it has an equal number of feet or legs on each…

Calculating Three Phase Amperage

Calculating Three Phase Amperage

Three phase power circuits are often used in power transmission lines and large electric motors because they allow lower line voltages and provide a smoother flow of electricity. A three phase circuit consists of three alternating current conductors combined into…
