BC is short for "Before Christ". Therefore the older something is the higher the number of year because it is a longer time before Christ.

What does BC represent?

B.C as in 'years', means "Before Christ" and A.D. means "anno Domini", which is latin for "Year of our Lord". It is due to the "Gregorian Calendar" we use today. So, if Jesus was perceived to have been born in year 1, we are currently 2008 years later, hence 2008 A.D. Also note that time B.C. (Before Christ) runs backwards from the perceived birth of Christ, so the year before he was born was 1 B.C. ten years before is 10 B.C., a thousand years 1000 B.C. and so on.

Demonstrate in terms of force what the net force would be on the girl running on a train if she runs towards the front of the train and if she runs towards the back of the train?

If the train is going at a constant speed, it will make no difference whether she runs forward or backward. There will only be a difference if it is accelerating or slowing down. If it is accelerating you tend to be thrown backward, so it is easier to run back than forward. If it is braking you are thrown forward so it is easier to run forward than backward. The force on the body is the product of the acceleration or retardation and the mass of the body: F (Newtons) = mass (kg) x acceleration (meters/sec2)


What kingdom is octopus in?

For the paramecium to move forward, its cilia beat on an angle, backward in unison. This means that the paramecium moves by spiralling through the water on an invisible axis. For the paramecium to move backward, the cilia simply beat forward on an angle in unison. If the paramecium runs into a solid object, the cilia changes its direction and beats forward, causing the paramecium to go backward. The paramecium turns slightly and goes forward again. If it runs into the solid object again it will repeat this process until it can get past the object

Why does my chihuahua act so strangely compared to my other chihuahua?

(This is a continuation of the q) He always runs after everyone that tries to leave the house, but unagressively. He keeps hurting himself because when he tries to jump up onto our couch, he hits the edge and falls backward. He also sits weird (he likes to sit with one paw bent backward even though it can't be comfortable) and shakes only when he sees food. He also loves to lick my dad's face.
