What is the formula for translation? In the coordinate plane we can draw the translation if we know the direction and how far the figure should be moved. To translate the point P(x,y) , a units right and b units up, use P'(x+a,y+b) . How do you write a translation equation? Key Points A translation […]

Is a yoyo a weapon? It is rumored that it was used as a weapon for hunting game or other land animals. The yo-yos was actually first made by the Duncan yo-yo demonstrators in the 1930s and the yo-yo today is now considered a weapon due to the Duncan brothers making up the rumor of […]

How do you achieve long term economic growth? 2. Long-term economic growth Increased capital. e.g. investment in new factories or investment in infrastructure, such as roads and telephones. Increase in working population, e.g. through immigration, higher birth rate. Increase in labour productivity, through better education and training or improved technology. What are the consequences of […]

What are the five kinematic equations? Building on what you have learned so far and what Galileo presented, we have what my physics teacher, Glenn Glazier, liked to call the Five Sacred Equations of Kinematics for constant acceleration. In these equations, v is velocity, x is position, t is time, and a is acceleration. Remember, […]

What are the 4 phases of emergency management? These common elements allow you to prepare for and protect yourself and your animals from disaster. Emergency managers think of disasters as recurring events with four phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. The following diagram illustrates the relationship of the four phases of emergency management. What is […]

What percentage is water vapor in the atmosphere? Gaseous water represents a small but environmentally significant constituent of the atmosphere. The percentage water vapor in surface air varies from 0.01% at -42 °C (-44 °F) to 4.24% when the dew point is 30 °C (86 °F). Approximately 99.13% of it is contained in the troposphere. […]

What are the effects of force in our daily life? Force can make a moving object to stop and also make a stationary object to move. The magnitude and the direction of the force on the body are important to change the state of motion. There are many factors that influence the state of motion […]

How many groups are on the central atom? There are five groups around the central atom, three bonding pairs and two lone pairs. How many lone pairs are in ab3? Hint: The shape of AB3 with one lone pair on central atom can be pyramidal . if there is no lone pair of electrons present […]

Can the mind exist without the body? It is possible one’s mind might exist without one’s body. One’s mind is a different entity from one’s body. What does Descartes think of the soul? Descartes considered the body and the soul to be ontologically separate but interacting entities, each with its own particular attributes. He then […]

What is evaporation and examples? Evaporation is defined as the process in which the state of water from liquid to gaseous or to vapour state takes place. The rate of evaporation is dependent on the temperature. As the temperature increases, the evaporation rate increases. The melting of an ice cube is an example of evaporation. […]
