What kind of image is formed in the retina of the eye? An image is formed on the retina with light rays converging most at the cornea and upon entering and exiting the lens. Rays from the top and bottom of the object are traced and produce an inverted real image on the retina. The […]

How do you add a function?
How do you add a function? Operations on Functions: Adding and Subtracting Functions Addition. We can add two functions as: (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) Example: Subtraction. We can subtract two functions as: (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x) Example: Multiplication. (f•g)(x) = f(x)•g(x) Example: f(x) = 3x – 5 and g(x) […]
How much does an elephant cost?
How much does an elephant cost? Photo courtesy of The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. In their report, iworry estimated the raw-ivory value of a poached elephant to be $21,000. In contrast, a living elephant is worth more than $1.6 million over its lifetime, largely because of its eco-tourism draw. Can I own a baby elephant? […]

Italy, Spain and other countries joined it until November 1941. Which countries were pro Axis in ww2? The three principal partners in the Axis alliance were Germany, Italy, and Japan. These three […]
Which unit is used to measure the speed of computer?
Which unit is used to measure the speed of computer? Clock speed is measured in units of cycles per second, which is called a Hertz (Hz). Computer boards and CPUs run at rates of millions and billions of Hertz, megahertz (MHz) and gigahertz (GHz). What unit is typically used to measure the speed of a […]
What two forces limit the height of capillary action will take water up a tube?
What two forces limit the height of capillary action will take water up a tube? Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The height to which capillary action will take water in a uniform circular tube (picture to right) is limited by surface […]
What is the similarities between magnetism and gravity?
What is the similarities between magnetism and gravity? Gravity is a force acting on an object with mass, magnetism is a force exerted by virtue of charged particles. Both are based on ferrous material, one is created by mas the other by the movement of the mass. Why is gravitational force a non contact force? […]
Can a stationary charge experiences a magnetic force?
Can a stationary charge experiences a magnetic force? There is no magnetic force on static charges. However, there is a magnetic force on moving charges. When charges are stationary, their electric fields do not affect magnets. But, when charges move, they produce magnetic fields that exert forces on other magnets. Why is a stationary charge […]
What plant and animal cells have in common?
What plant and animal cells have in common? Animal cells and plant cells share the common components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane. Plant cells have three extra components, a vacuole, chloroplast and a cell wall. What is unique to plant cells? The plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and […]
