OK, got this idea off the junior cert forum!! whereby i ask a question...the next answers it and supplies their question!!! we give it a go????

right......
chemistry....what colour flame does sodium produce???

Scarinae

Yellow

Biology - What are the stages of mitosis?

sarahg_angel69

prophase, metaphase, anaphase,telophase!! interphase is most active phase but not listed!!!

biology= dna experiment,
what the washing up liquid used for??
what the salt for???

Scarinae

Washing up liquid breaks up the cell membranes
Salt protects the DNA

Chemistry - What is the VSEPR theory?

Ok. Someone ask a non-biology/chemistry question before I start shooting people! :mad:

sarahg_angel69

its the valency shell electron repulsion theory right......cant remember what it is tho!!!! should look that up!!!

right geog.....
regions for italy/france and spain please

And Geography! It's hard to please me. :rolleyes:

I only know Spain from general knowledge:

Andalucia
Aragon
Asturias
Balearic Islands
Basque Country
Canary Islands
Cantabria
Castilla-La Mancha
Castilla y Leon
Catalonia
Extremadura
Galicia
Madrid
Murcia
Navarra
La Rioja

Irish - Cad é an príomhmothúcháin sa dán 'Treall' le Caitlín Maude?

Physics, French, Tec. Drawing, Applied Maths, Accountancy, and the usual 3. All Higher Level.

Iarrann Caitlín Maude casúr nó tua a thabhairt di ionas go mbrisfeadh sí agus go scriosfadh sí an teach seo. Dhéanfadh sí "tairseach den fhardoras" agus dhéanfadh sí "urláir de na ballaí." Tiocfaidh an "scraith agus díon agus similéir" anuas. Rinne sí é seo ach nuair a bhí an scrios agus millteanas déanta aici, ba mhaith léi teach eile a thógáil. Ní dhearna sí é seo mar bhí sí ró-thraochta.

In context of mining geometry, when finding the thickness of the stratum, an auxiliary is taken and the strike is the line along which this auxiliary is taken.

In elevation (with two BHs drawn) put one of the lines in a plane parallel to the other, by drawing a horizontal line through one of the points on the line and through the second point drawing a line parallel to the other line. Draw this in plan and along the line (which is horizontal in plan) go along that line for an auxiliary. Therefore the line in plan which is horizontal in elevation is the strike.

Just goes to show how hard it is to explain TD, it needs to be drawn...


Physics: Define the ampere (yes the long version)!

passive

The unit of current!!

okay...hold on... the ampere is that current which.. if maintained in 2 infinitely long parallel conductors of negligible cross section 1 metre apart in a vacuum would exert of force of 1N between them?

correct me on the specifics...and really.. where do you get 2 infinitely long parallel conductors?

(edit, question: ummmm..... Business; list all the principles of insurance and, while we're at it, unfair grounds for dismissal?)

Ok I don't have my book/notes with me but I'm sure the force exxerted is 2x10^-7N per metre length of each other.

D-Generate

The ampere is the current that if flowing in two infinitely long parralel conducters of negligble cross sectional area in a vacuum produce a force of attraction or repulsion of 2x10^-7 N

Gone West

ok since angel/ d-generate didnt ask a question, I will take over

If a train left athlone at 15:35 and used 2 gallons of fuel to the mile. The train travelled to dublin, which is 80 miles away. It stopped for a total of 3 minutes in 6 different stations. If it arrived in Dublin at 17:05, what did the conductors mother have for dinner last saturday?

The same thing that you had (if you like your mother's food that is.)

Gone West

well done! your question...

1. Utmost Good Faith - your telling the truth
2. Insurable Interest - it must be something of worth to u
3. Indemnity - can't make a profit
4. Contribution - only one insurance company pays out in proportion
5. Subrogation - insurance company owns whatevers left of what u recieved compensation for

Grounds for unfair dismissal
joining union
gone on strike
religous or political opinion
race, colour sex
pregnant
involved in court case against employer




question
FULLY!! explaiin law of contract

Alkers

Contract: Legally binding agreement which can be enforced by the law.
Law of Contract: sets out the rules for proving when a contract exists and when it is terminated.

1. Offer: Verbally or in writing. Invitation to treat: - an invitation to a customer to make an offer which can then be accepted or rejected.
2. Acceptance: Unqualified Acceptance/counter offer. Acceptance: - can be communicated by word, in writing or by conduct. Must be communicated within a reasonable period of time. Revocation: - Offer can be withdrawn/changed before acceptance. Pressure/duress: - occurs when a contract does not arise out of genuine free choice.
3. Consideration: What is exchanged between the parties in the contract.
4. Intention: The parties to contract must have intended to create a legally-binding contract
5. Capacity: The people agreeing to the contract must have the legal right to do so. Under 18’s incapacitated persons, Diplomats and Companies acting Ultra Vires.
6. Legality Of Form: The manner in which the contract is drawn up.
7. Legality of Purpose: Must have a legal purpose.

Termination of a legal contract:
Termination: contract can no longer be legally enforced.
1. Performance – obligations fulfilled.
2. Agreement – All sides agree.
3. Frustration – Unseen event prevents contract from being completed.
4. Breach – Condition broken.
Condition: essential element of a contract.
Warranty: non essential element of a contract
Condition Broken: financial compensation or specific performance. Rescind the contract at risk of being sued by the other party.
Warranty Broken: contract can be fulfilled at a greater expense and inconvenience, compensation can be sought.


How about: Tell me the equations which govern SHM? Physics/App.math

a=-w^2(s)

T=2(Pi)/W

I think there's more but I can't really remember.

Physics:

State Coulomb's Law.

dudara

The ampere is the current that if flowing in two infinitely long parralel conducters of negligble cross sectional area in a vacuum produce a force of attraction or repulsion of 2x10^-7 N

The ampere is that constant current which if maintained in two infinitely long straight parallel conducting wires of negligible cross section placed 1 m apart in a vacuum causes them to exert a force of 2 x 10^-7 N per metre length of the other

phew, and I learned that as Gaeilge originally

Physics:

State Coulomb's Law.

The equations which govern SHM are as follows:
1. a=-w^2X
2. V^2 = w^2(A^2 - X^2)
3. x=ASinwt (if the particle starts at the centre).
4. x=ACoswt (if the particle starts at the extreme)
5. x=ASin(wt+e) or x=ACos(wt+e)(if the particle starts somewhere else)
6. T=2(pi)/w
7. Maximum velocity = wA (as particle passes through o)
8. Maximum acceleration = w^2A (at extreme point)

Eh..................are some of them only in Applied Maths? As I've never heard of most of them. I do Applied Maths but SHM is a section I'm leaving out.

Alkers

Yeh a good few are. It's worth looking over, normally an easy question and they've started to mix around the part a's and what not.

Phew! I thought I was missing a page of my Physic's book!

Well I have 8 of the App Maths questions covered so I think I'll be ok.

Anyway, back to Coulomb's Law.................

Good for you, I'm so behind...

Deleted User wrote:

The force between two charages is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. F is proportional Q1Q2/r^2 then becomes F = 1/4(pi)(epilson)xQ1Q2/r^2.

Very good! Question please............

*Angel*

Oh sorry, here you are:

Applied Maths, Hydrostatics:

What quantity of water must be mixed with 1 litre of milk to reduce its relative velocity from 1.03 to 1.02?

dudara

What is a latent heat?

*Angel*

dudara wrote:

I'm sure there is a more advanced definition for chemistry but I only do physics so:

Latent heat is the energy needed to break the bonds between molecules when a substance is changing state, there is no change in temperature.

Camogie Playa

Define a synapse?
What are the different parts of the brain?
Define broad money supply?

I presume you mean Md^2 but if not then what shape are we talking about?

Def of Latent Heat I have is
The Heat Energy required to change a mass from one state/form to another without changing its temperature.

Question
Define the Newton.

This is actually a serious question...
ok. electromagnetic waves/light is/are the fastest thing in the universe, right?... There is no faster way to communicate than 3x10^8 M/S.
Suppose that light takes 5 minutes to reach pluto from earth.
If I got a big huge broom and reached all the way to pluto with it.
Then i jerk it back a little, didn't I just send information to pluto instantly?
--
hypothetically, in theory why wouldn't this happen?
(don't say something stupid like "oh how would you get a pole long enough to reach pluto?")

Then i jerk it back a little

What does this mean? Jerk it back from where to where?

Sorry if it's an obvious answer. I'm very tired today.

*Angel*

WILD GUESS

It would be physically impossible to shift a pole of such magnitude...

and no it would not be instantaneous, and the time taken to send information from earth to pluto along the pole would take longer than 5 minutes...nothing is faster than the speed of light.

it would not be instantaneous

That's what I was thinking. :rolleyes:

Ask away Angel!

*Angel*

Ok well I'm still not sure if I'm right, but anyway

Maths:

log9X = 3/2

solve for X, btw the 9 is the base.

27 perhaps?

*Angel*

Yep! Go ahead.

Ok, staying with maths:

Solve cos4x + cos2x = cosx, 0<x<360.

*Angel*

X = 20, 90, 340 degrees

Tech Drawing:

Conics, if given the two focal points and major axis of an ellipse, how would you find the tangent (with proper construction) at 60 degrees to the ellipse?
