A pin is a solid piece of metal there areno pockets of air to hold it up. 2ND ANSWER -Non Believer, Former engineer(1975–2017) 30m In simple terms,the nail sinks because thedensity of the steel pin is greater than the density of the water.Whereas, a ship has a lot of hollow spaces (filled with air) because of whichthe overall density of the ship becomes less than water.

Q3 What are the strangest facts aboutthe human brain? A3 Info Search Answered by Lois L.Kersey Updated Jul 14 When you sleep in a new place for the first time,your brain processes danger and stays half-awake to be more aware. The world's fastest supercomputer needs 24 millionwatts of power to operate, while our brains only require 20 watts and operateabout 100,000 times faster. The human brain is divided into two sides , eachinteracting with the opposite side of the body. Althoughthis interaction is known, the reason for it is not yet understood. The human brain has the capacity to generateapproximately 23 watts of energy when awake. Of the total blood and oxygen produced in ourbody, the brain receives 20% of it. The blood vessels that are present in the brain arenearly 100,000 miles long. In early pregnancy, neurons develop at analarming rate of 250,000 per minute. Almost all colors have a physical wavelengthassociated with them, but Magenta does not. Instead,your brain is simply processing the color as " not green ". We cry when we are very happy because ourhypothalamus in our brain can't tell the difference between strong happinessand strong sadness. 3% of your brain is just water , which means that if you become dehydrated bymore than 2%, you could experience a loss of attention, cognitive skills, andmemory. In fact, you can improve your memory if youchoose to eat seafood regularly. The fatty acids in these foods improve thepart of the brain that takes care of memory. The brain cannot feel pain. This allowsneurosurgeons to investigate areas within the brain while patients are awake.They can receive real-time feedback from each patient, allowing them toidentify specific regions such as speech or movement. During sleep , your body produces a hormone ***thatprevents you from getting up and acting out your dreams. Five minutes aftera dream, your body has already forgotten half of it and ten minutes later, 90%of your memory is gone. Our brain can calculate 10¹³ and 10^16 operationsper second. That's equivalent to 1 million times the people on earth. Intheory, brains are capable of solving problems faster than any computer in theworld, perhaps better than any computer that will ever exist. Déjà vu has not been fully explained. Scientiststhink it's actually a neurological glitch caused by something being registeredin memory before conscious thought. Ninety minutes of sweating can temporarily shrinkthe brain as much as a year of aging. Stress canchange your brain size (and make it smaller). It is literally impossible for our brain to multitask. Your vision surpasses all other senses. My note-***In that cause why many produce sounds fear of something, cry, or laugh? Q4 Does leaving lamps plugged in use electricity? A4 Graham Rolfe, Former RetiredEngineer, atheist, vehement anti-theistJul 13 It depends. If it's just a straight on/off switch, itshouldn't do.

A5 Reena Meena, Former Reader , Thinker, Political Science Student at Daulat Ram College, Delhi University Updated 2y Many of us don’tnot know the full form of JCB though we used this term and see JCB frequently. JCB stands for Joseph CyrilBamsford . It is the name of person who invented the Vehicle. He wasa British businessman and founder of JCB company . Many of us thinkthat Hockey is our National sport but let me tell u guys that this is not ournational sport . India has no particular nationalsport.

Many of us think that the Great wall of China isvisible from space but it has been proved that this isn’t possible hence notvisible from there. It's completely a myth. Q6 Are Africans the only pure humans inthe world? A6 Claire Jordan, Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Jul 11 We are all pure human. If you mean, pure Homo sapiens,there are some people in central Africa who seem to be pure H.sapiens, yes.

You will not get the strength of two slabs.— Q8 How do I purify air from airconditioners? A8 Suganthan Sivakkumar, StudiedMechanical Engineering 6y By design, an A/C has filters to purify the air to someextent. The reason why air filters get cloggedover a period of time, is because of the air-borne dust. Some air-conditioners claim it has additional filters suchas antibacterial, pollen filters. If you are satisfiedwith the features of your A/C (check manual or website) then you may not need aseparate air filter. If you have somehealth condition or if you prefer much purified air, please use a "dedicated" air filteringunit as fellow Quoran has said. Q9 What will be the difference betweena government MBBS pass out and private MBBS pass out student? A9 Praveen Tripathi, Psychiatrist.Faculty of Psychiatry Jul 12 Let me try toanswer this question based on my experience of interacting with thousands ofgovt medical college students and hundreds of Pvt medical college students. Confidence - This is the biggest difference that Ihave observed. Students from government medical colleges are in general a bitmore confident than students from private medical colleges, at least when itcomes to clearing the PG medical entrance exam. The whole thought that I couldclear the tough PMT exam, so I can clear any other exam usually stays withthem. Unfortunately, I have met many Pvt medicalcollege students who were really good knowledge wise but they doubtedthemselves just because they went to a Pvt medical college. Oncethey started doing well in the subject-wise tests and grand tests, theirconfidence improved significantly. Clinical skills- Most Pvt medical college studentsare worried about their clinical skills. They presume that students fromgovernment medical colleges have much better exposure to patients so they willhave better clinical skills. While it's true thatgovernment hospitals have no dearth of patients (unlike the hospitals attachedto Pvt medical colleges), that doesn't usually translate into betterclinical skills for medical students as everybody is focused on studying forentrance exams and much less on learning clinical skills. Although I must point out thatduring the internship, the govt medical college students usually get muchbetter exposure to basic things like suturing, RT, Foleys etc. How muchthat matters, in the long run, is a matter of conjecture. Environment - This is perhaps the most significantdifference. The environment of govt medical colleges is intensely competitive. That pushes almost everybody to workhard, if you don't work hard you develop an intense fear of being left out.Some good pvt colleges too have a competitive environment but some othercolleges have a more laid-back attitude. I believe the environment of yourcollege plays a huge role in shaping your career. Money - On average students who can affordprivate medical colleges tend to come from financially well-to-do families,which reflects in the way they dress and talk. Finally,who becomes a better doctor? I think the MBBS college doesn't play that big arole in this aspect. Becoming a gooddoctor depends on multiple factors, the most important being perseverance. If you can continue honing yourskills for years, you will end up a good doctor, irrespective of whether youwent to a govt college or private. So, in summary,while govt college students do have certain benefits over Pvt medical colleges,it doesn't mean that students from private colleges cant excel in PG entranceexams and later life. One final thing that I realised later in life, many doctorswho went to Pvt colleges do exceedingly well in practiceparticularly if their parents were doctors as they have more capital to investand more importantly their parents guide them better. I hope, this helps. Dr Praveen Tripathi Q10 Why does a wooden block not sink intowater? A10 Scott Withee, M.B.A. in MBA Corporate Finance,Adelphi University (Graduated 1980)39m For the same reason that a steel ship floats, a woodenblock floats. Look up Archimedes Principal.Anything placed in or on water displaces a volume of that water. If the itemfloats then it displaces a volume of water whose weight is exactly equal to theitems weight. If the item sinks then it displaces a volume of water exactlyequal to its volume. Sincewood is lighter by volume than water, it floats. A steel ship floatsbecause it’s weight is less than the weight of the total volume of water itwould displace for it to sink …. All the above QA are from Quora website on 19-07- 2022.
