Re: Science Trivia
Correct. Tankbuster gave a good explanation, but Sphere was more specific.The emission spectrum of Iron

But... but... He just used wiki while I explained it
Just kidding. Go ahead sphere.
By the way, should we award rep or is it just for fun?

Re: Science Trivia
Delta is Correct.
(It is the equation for the deflection of a simply supported beam with a uniform load. Delta is the common symbol used to denote deflection in structural engineering)

Damn that means I need to come up with something.
What is the only long term (millions of years) successful asexual multicelled animal?

Some kind of rotifer? Bdelloid I think.

Re: Science Trivia
We have a wiener!
Most species that go asexual die out pretty fast, and some that seem asexual are only asexual part of the time. The bdelloid rotifer is somehow able to dodge the bullets that doom most asexual species to extinction.

What equation describes the relationship between temperature and the rate of a chemical reaction?
Analogy Nazi
Re: Science Trivia
That would be one of the fundamental formulas of chemical kinetics: Arrhenius law.

Tankbuster is correct.

Re: Science Trivia
OK, my turn then.
Why is a perpetuum mobile impossible? Elaborate.

Re: Science Trivia
The second law of thermodynamics. Entropy tends to increase in a closed system.
Re: Science Trivia
Doesn't render perpetual motion impossible, and it is in fact, ongoing, in the form of the rotational universe.
Though that's another issue entirely.

Re: Science Trivia
Yes, which is why it's not quite what I wanted to hear. Any other answers?
