Yes. looking at a plane's wing 'end on' - the upper surface curves, while the lower surface is straight. This causes the air flowing over the upper surface to travel further than the lower surface - which creates lift.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle greater than 180 degrees?

It is not possible in plane Euclidean geometry, but always true on a convex curved surface such as the face of the Earth.


Is the sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon the same as a non-convex polygon?

No. In a convex polygon the sum of the interior angles is (n-2)*180 deg where n is the number of interior angles. In a non-convex polygon this is not necessarily true.


The exterior angles of all convex polygons add up to 360?

TRUE


A convex lens can produce a larger virtual image if the object is inside the focal point True or false?

False. A convex lens will produce a smaller, upright, and virtual image if the object is placed inside the focal point.


True or false rays reflected from a convex mirror always converge?

False. Rays reflected from a convex mirror do not always converge. In the case of a convex mirror, the reflection causes the rays to diverge away from each other.


Which meniscus of acid hematin is considered while taking a reading and why?

The upper meniscus of the acid hematin is considered when taking a reading because it represents the true volume of the sample. The meniscus is the curve at the surface of a liquid caused by surface tension, and in this case, the upper meniscus accounts for any excess liquid or bubbles that may be present on the surface.


A convex lens can produce what?

A convex lens can converge a beam of parallel rays to a point on the other side of the lens. It is useful for reflecting and transmitting light.


A regular polygon is a convex polygon with all sides congruent and all angles congruent?

true


What is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a triangle?

360 degrees (this is true with any convex polygon)


Is it true that an image formed by a convex mirror is always inverted?

No, an image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. Concave mirrors can form both real and inverted images.


When does a concave lens act as convex lens?

A convex lens acts as concave lens when it is kept in a medium whose optical density is higher than the lens itself. And the vice-verse is also true .i.e, a concave lens can act as convex lens too .


Is it true thatThe Harlow studies found that six months of social isolation was sufficient to permanently damage infant rhesus monkeys?

yes. it was irreversable after 6 months of isolation.
