You body can't absorb the double sugar, so the sugar goes to the colon and the bacteria go wild.

I did not know it was osmotic though, I thought it was just the irritation from the bacteria.

Correct. Don’t know what i’m being downvoted for lol.

Sound waves have a lower frequency than light waves, and this means that they can travel through solid objects and around corners. This is why you can hear sounds that are coming from behind walls or other objects. On the other hand, light waves have a much higher frequency and are not able to penetrate solid objects as easily, which is why light can be blocked by walls, curtains, and other objects. So the lower frequency of sound waves allows them to persist even after they've been reflected by solid objects.

In Both instances materials are absorbing the energy of waves. So, sound CAN be blocked entirely, you just need enough material to absorb it. The major differences in how sound and light differ is because of the type of energy they carry. Sound waves use the mass that it is traveling through and moving to create a force... and lightwaves carry electromagnetic radiation (with no mass) that can transmute energy fields and energy onto certain molecules and not others. This lets light travel through certain molecules without effecting them much since they may not be effected by the electric or magnetic field. Sound uses the mass it is propagating through to transmit energy and so it inherently vibrates all mass around it regardless of the material.

​

Light waves and sound waves are different. Lightwaves are teeny tiny little packets of energy that almost have no mass and can go through certain materials and interact with other materials based off how those materials absorb energy. For example light in the visible spectrum can go through glass carbonate but not wood carbonate.

Sound waves are made from any kind of matter that does have mass. That mass bounces off other masses and your ears record the frequencies of those waves bouncing and creates a perception of sound.

The formula hp = torque x rpm applies both at the engine crank and at the wheels. This means the faster the wheels are turning (the faster you're going) the less torque they will have at a given power level.

If the engine is putting 100hp to the wheels, at low speeds that's enough torque to spin them. At highway speeds, the wheel torque is so low that you can barely accelerate. It doesn't matter whether the engine is achieving 100hp with low torque and high rpm or vice versa.

A tractor has a high torque low hp engine because such engines have good fuel economy and reliability, and the large size and heavy weight are not a problem for a tractor. It's not that a tractor needs more torque. A 100hp car engine can get double the torque as a 50hp tractor engine through gearing.

You can put an F1 engine in a fully loaded semi truck, lower the final drive ratio, and it will move it no problem. It just won't good fuel economy or reliability.

I think sound has a much higher frequency of waves and that allows the sound waves to survive bouncing off of objects where light just dies on impact.

At least that’s what my gut says.

Light is like a laser beam that travels in straight lines and can be stopped by things like walls and curtains. But sound is like a wave that travels through the air and can go through things like walls and doors. So, when you close your curtains to block the light, it works, but the sound can still come through because it can travel through the walls and doors. That's why you can still hear noise even when you try to block it.

Some will carry the balance year over year until it's been deleted too.

Our cells continue to make copies all the time. Whenever a copy has a problem - a mutation - then the cell usually kills itself. Sometimes it doesn't and the mutation lives on. Some of these aren't a problem but some are. For instance, cells can grow too quickly while being mutated and that's called cancer.

Getting old is basically our body not being good at copying cells anymore where a lot more errors are introduced to the point where our body eventually shuts down. This isn't a bad ELI5 of aging.

We're not good at solving the problem though. There's some research in stem cells but that might be more like applying duct tape to torn clothes rather than making clothes repair themselves or last longer.

Think of it as making a copy of a copy. We can create printers that last longer (healthy diet, etc) but in the long run, it's still a machine and machines break.

There is another special type of cell that's required for life: neurons. Unlike other cells, neurons don't divide. So right before you're born, you have the most neurons you'll ever have in your life and you'll continue to lose them as you age. Again, stem cells could help here via transplants which is an artificial solution at best.

Could too much lead to an inaccurate result do you think?

your hands have to have a bit of sweat on them to work, otherwise your skin has too much resistance to overcome.

It's also (in fact mostly) because having the engine only use a portion of its maximum potential, so going around sixty when it could do over a hundred, is good for long-term reliability.

First time i took the SAT it still had the analogies section. Basically a vocab test and the best way to study for it was prefixes/roots/suffixes.

>So the big bang did not follow the rules of physics and happened faster than the speed of light then?

The expansion of space is not limited by the speed of light. That speed applies to things in space, not to space itself.

The gearing is the biggest thing. My granddad's 70 year old John Deere was a 2 cylinder and only made 50 horsepower but it could pull a house off of it's foundation and had enough torque to flip itself over if the tires were held stationary.

Horsepower is the product of torque and rotational speed divided by 5252. If you're not spinning quickly, and diesels can't, you gotta have way more torque to produce higher horsepower.

Ever see a dyno graph for a combustion engine?

They're from different languages.

a- meaning not is from Greek, and is usually attached to other Greek roots: atheist (from Greek theo "god" as opposed to Latin deus), anoxic ("oxygen" is from Gree roots), etc.

ab- meaning "away from" (as in a direction, the opposite of "towards") is Latin, and is usually attached to other Latin roots.

Away from origins.

But there are also words that start with a-, meaning "not", and happen to have a root starting with "b", and also loan words from non-latin sources, like "abseil" (German) and "abalone" (native American).

Thank you I hope you have a great day
