Are satellites outside the atmosphere? Satellites are sent into space by a rocket launched from the ground with enough energy (at least 25,039 mph!) to get outside our atmosphere. Satellites do carry their own fuel supply, but unlike how a car uses gas, it is not needed to maintain speed for orbit. Which layer of […]

What is the charge of a basic oxygen furnace? The majority of steel manufactured in the world is produced using the basic oxygen furnace. In 2000, it accounted for 60% of global steel output. Modern furnaces will take a charge of iron of up to 400 tons and convert it into steel in less than […]

Evaporation is the process of a liquid’s surface changing to a gas. In the water cycle, liquid water (in the ocean, lakes, or rivers) evaporates and becomes water vapor. What are 4 main components of the […]

What is the difference between bending moment and shear force? Shear force is taken +ve if it produces a clockwise moment and it is taken -ve when it produces an anticlockwise moment. Bending Moment – Bending moment at any point along a loaded beam may be defined as the sum of the moments due to […]

How do you convert a floating point number to binary? Converting to Floating point Set the sign bit – if the number is positive, set the sign bit to 0. Divide your number into two sections – the whole number part and the fraction part. Convert to binary – convert the two numbers into binary […]

Which of the following is a stealth aircraft designed to be invisible to enemy radar? Reduced radar cross section is only one of five factors the designers addressed to create a truly stealthy design such as the F-22. The F-22 has also been designed to disguise its infrared emissions to make it harder to detect […]
