What is center of projection? The center of projection is the origin or source of the stream of projecting rays. Depending on the distance between the center of projection and the image plane, the distinction should be made between central (conical) projections and parallel (cylindrical) projections. What is foreshortening factor? 3) The ratio of projected […]
Why is a normal eye not able to see clearly the objects placed closer than 25cm?
Why is a normal eye not able to see clearly the objects placed closer than 25cm? Explanation. A normal eye cannot see clearly the objects that are placed closer than 25cm because the power of accommodation of the eye is 25cm which is exhausted. When the maximum accommodation of the eye is reached, the ciliary […]
What are the 3 factors that sustain life on Earth?
What are the 3 factors that sustain life on Earth? What are the 3 interconnected factors that sustain life on earth? Solar energy, nutrient cycles, and gravity. What are the features that make life possible on Earth? What makes the Earth habitable? It is the right distance from the Sun, it is protected from harmful […]
Why is sediment transport important?
Why is sediment transport important? Sediment transport is applied to solve many environmental, geotechnical, and geological problems. Measuring or quantifying sediment transport or erosion is therefore important for coastal engineering. Movement of sediment is important in providing habitat for fish and other organisms in rivers. What are two ways water transports sediment? How do rivers […]
What force causes current to flow?
What force causes current to flow? Electric current is flow of electrons in a conductor. The force required to make current flow through a conductor is called voltage and potential is the other term of voltage. For example, the first element has more positive charges, so it has higher potential. What’s the minimum voltage at […]
Is it bad to look at IR light?
Is it bad to look at IR light? All infrared, visible or ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation can cause injury to the eye in sufficient concentrations, but this is very rare. Infrared lamps and incandescent bulbs are not powerful enough to cause such harm. But it’s best if you don’t stare directly at them for too long. […]
Are any goods perfectly elastic?
Are any goods perfectly elastic? If demand is perfectly elastic, it means that at a certain price demand is infinite (A good with a very high elasticity of demand). In other words, if a firm increased the price by 1%, it would see all its demand evaporate. Is coffee elastic or inelastic? Availability of Substitutes […]
How do you know if a property is intensive or extensive?
How do you know if a property is intensive or extensive? Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance’s chemical identity. Which […]
Why do toilets flush the opposite way in Australia?
Why do toilets flush the opposite way in Australia? Because of the rotation of the Earth, the Coriolis effect means that hurricanes and other giant storm systems swirl counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. In theory, the draining water in a toilet bowl (or a bathtub, or any vessel) should […]
What are types of damped oscillation?
What are types of damped oscillation? The diagram shown on the right indicates three types of damped harmonic motion. Critically damped: The system returns to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating. Underdamped: The system oscillates (at reduced frequency compared to the undamped case) with the amplitude gradually decreasing to zero. What is positive damping? […]
