What are the 5 things a graph needs? There are five things about graph that need our attention when designing graphs: visual structures, axes and background, scales and tick marks, grid lines, text. What are the main features of a graph? Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; […]

What planet spins the fastest? Jupiter What determines how fast a planet spins? The rotational speed is normally determined by the initial angular momentum when the planet formed, but may also be altered subsequently by large collisions (as for example the collision of the earth with another planet which gave us our moon). Why Jupiter […]

Is earthquake epicenter randomly distributed on Earth? Earthquake epicentres are not randomly distributed on earth. They occur wherever two tectonic plates meet. The collision of these plates leads to the occurrence of earthquakes and volcanoes. About 75% of world’s largest volcanoes and 90% of earthquakes occur along the Pacific Ring of Fire. How do you […]

Is Yahweh mentioned in the Bible? In Genesis 4:26 (in the J story), it is said, “At that time people began to call on the name of yhwh.” In E, on the other hand, the name yhwh is never used until Exodus 3:14-15 when God gives Moses the name by which he is to announce […]

Is pivot point same as axis of rotation? is that pivot is a thing on which something turns; specifically a metal pointed pin or short shaft in machinery, such as the end of an axle or spindle while axis is (geometry) an imaginary line around which an object spins (an axis of rotation) or is […]

Why does the earth switch polarity? The reversals take place when iron molecules in Earth’s spinning outer core start going in the opposite direction as other iron molecules around them. As their numbers grow, these molecules offset the magnetic field in Earth’s core. What does normal polarity mean? Normal polarity is defined as the magnetic […]

Can any human see infrared? Infrared waves are a portion of the light spectrum that follows red. They have longer wavelengths than visible light, ranging from 700 nanometers to one millimeter. This renders them invisible to humans in almost all conditions. What does the red light on a security camera mean? If it’s an infrared […]

Will Pangea form again? The last supercontinent, Pangea, formed around 310 million years ago, and started breaking up around 180 million years ago. It has been suggested that the next supercontinent will form in 200-250 million years, so we are currently about halfway through the scattered phase of the current supercontinent cycle. What is the […]

What would be the path of reflected light if an incident ray passes through focus? An incident ray passing through the focus will be reflected parallel to the principal axis. Why the light ray retraces its path when it passes through Centre of curvature? Answer: The reason for light falling on the centre of curvature […]

What are the signs and symptoms of nystagmus? In addition to rapid eye movement, nystagmus symptoms include: sensitivity to light. dizziness. difficulty seeing in the dark. vision problems. holding the head in a turned or tilted position. the feeling that the world is shaking. What type of doctor treats nystagmus? Johns Hopkins neurologists have treated […]
