Do forces have direction? A force is a vector quantity. As learned in an earlier unit, a vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Because a force is a vector that has a direction, it is common to represent forces using diagrams in which a force is represented by an arrow. […]

What is the distance between two contour lines called? The elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines is called the contour interval (CI). Usually the contour interval is noted on the map legend. In most topographic maps every 5th contour line is drawn in bold print or wider than other contours. Such lines are called […]

How do you solve Vo? To find the voltage at Vo, start at either end and add or subtract the voltage drop across the resistor. If we start at the 10V end: Vo = 10 – 3.58 = 6.42 V. If we start at the -2V end: Vo = -2 + 8.42 = 6.42 V. […]

How did Joseph save Egypt? Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.” […]

Is 1500 watts a lot of electricity? Most electric heaters use 1,500 watts, but some are slightly less or slightly more. Since 1,000 watts equals 1 kilowatt, that means your heater uses 1.5 kilowatts of power. However, your electric bill is measured in kilowatt hours, which is the amount of energy used while running a […]

What is chemical energy for kid? Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. This energy is released when a chemical reaction takes place. What is chemical energy 7th grade? chemical energy: Energy that is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules. This energy is released during chemical […]

What are all the structures in cytoplasm? It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus. All of the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, are located in the cytoplasm. Which […]

Is plastic or wood a better insulator? Metal is a good conductor of heat, while wood and plastic are good insulators. A conductor transfers thermal energy (heat) well, while an insulator does not transfer thermal energy (heat) well. What is the warmest insulation for jackets? Loftier (or puffier, if you will) materials consist of more […]

What are two examples of colloids? Examples of colloid are mayonnaise, milk, butter, gelatin, jelly, muddy water. What are the 4 types of colloids? The types of colloids includes sol, emulsion, foam, and aerosol. Sol is a colloidal suspension with solid particles in a liquid. Emulsion is between two liquids. Foam is formed when many […]

What muffles sound the best? The best types of surfaces for absorbing sounds are ones with jagged surfaces and hollow recesses within (much like a sponge or cardboard). The proper object captures the sound waves and bounces them around within the object until the vibrations dwindle. Does Styrofoam deaden sound? Polystyrene foams such as Styrofoam […]
