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.


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.


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.


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 .


True or false the water table is mostly underground?

True. The water table is the level below the Earth's surface that is saturated with water and represents the upper surface of the groundwater in an area. It is mostly found underground and fluctuates depending on factors such as precipitation and seasonality.
