What is the input of a machine? Simple Machines | Short/Long Answer Questions Work input is work done on a machine to get the desired output. Work output is the amount of desired work that is done by a machine. For an ideal machine, the work output is equal to the work input i.e the […]

What happens to light rays as it passes through a convex lens? Convex Lens. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). A convex lens is a converging lens. When parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal […]

Where is the epicenter of the earthquake? epicenter. The epicenter is the point on the earth’s surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins. Which point is nearest to the epicenter? The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is […]

What is the half life of isotope B? There are 13 radioisotopes that have been discovered, with mass numbers from 7 to 21, all with short half-lives, the longest being that of 8B, with a half-life of only 770 milliseconds (ms) and 12B with a half-life of 20.2 ms. All other isotopes have half-lives shorter […]

How do you use data to inform your instruction? 4 Ways Student Data Can Inform Instruction Use Data to Identify At-Risk Students. When it comes to at-risk students, early detection is critical. Use Data to Close the Learning Gap. Use Data to Predict Student Achievement on End-of-Year Targets. Use Data to Promote Success in Subsequent […]

What are the 3 major types of galaxies? Astronomers classify galaxies into three major categories: elliptical, spiral and irregular. These galaxies span a wide range of sizes, from dwarf galaxies containing as few as 100 million stars to giant galaxies with more than a trillion stars. What is older than the universe? Our Sun is […]

What do you mean by central orbit? A central orbit is an orbit in which the attractive force between a central mass and test mass is a central force, i.e., is directed towards the central mass. A general central force law is therefore given by. (1) for any function f(r), where is the force per […]
