Read MoreLight is very, very fast, and calculating its speed wasn't easy. In fact, there's a rather long history of how this constant value was determined.
Read MoreGas pressure is important to many fields, and it can be measured in many different ways. Two of the relevant units in this case are atmospheres and moles.
Read MoreSince Earth is spherical, measuring distances in meters between two locations can be done using degrees, or longitude and latitude, in other words.
Read MoreIn any experiment, the question of whether a result can be replicated is pretty relevant. What's more, there's a mathematical way to determine repeatability.
Read MoreWhen you think of a spinning disk or wheel, rotation probably comes to mind, but those rotations can be converted into a linear speed through some calculations.
Read MoreThe basics of how to keep your teeth healthy aren't really a mystery, but how does tooth decay actually work? A simple experiment can give you some answers.
Read MoreKa is an important value when it comes to the strength of acids and bases, but sometimes, it can be unwieldy. That's where the conversion to kKa comes in.
Read MoreIt's not especially hard to picture a swamp, but did you know that the biome actually hosts a ton of biodiversity? The trees alone are quite varied.
Read MoreAir capacities can be tricky, given how pressure and temperature can change volume. Due to that, it's important to know how to convert between measurements.
Read MoreWhile both kilowatts and horsepower measure the same thing, you might want to know how to switch from one unit to the other. Here's how you do it.
