Do forces have direction?
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?
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 […]
What happens when a solid is dissolved in a liquid?
What happens when a solid is dissolved in a liquid? In the simplest case it involves mixing two materials together. The most common examples of dissolving involve a solid and a liquid, usually water. When a solid dissolves the solid (solute) and the liquid (solvent) form a very close intimate mixture called a solution. Why […]

Is plastic or wood a better insulator?
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 […]
