If your referring to ' cleats' and 'clam cleats' they are used on boats to secure ropes and they allow a smaller crew to man larger vessels. The difference between the two is that eh cleat is often a mechanical device that clamps down using a spring mechanism onto the rope and locks it in place while the other uses a series of down ward 'v's to (with the help of friction) jam the rope in place holding it for the sailor thus freeing a hand.

Hope this helps.

Can you provide real life graph examples to illustrate the concept of exponential growth?

Exponential growth is a rapid increase where the quantity doubles at a consistent rate. Real-life examples include population growth, spread of diseases, and compound interest. These graphs show a steep upward curve, indicating exponential growth.

Why do you have usernames?

Weeworld.com has usernames so you don't have to give people your real name. For example my username is flysierra, which obviously isn't my real name. As the example above demonstrates, usernames are used so you don't have to disclose your real name. They also help keep everyone distinct. Think of how many "Bens" or "Johns" or "Sarahs" there would be on any website if there weren't usernames.


Why computers are used to create simulations of physical processes?

Using computers to create simulations of physical processes is a cost effective was of finding out what will work the best for a given process. If the same was to be done in real world it will require a lot of time, money and organizing, with computers one can check multiple scenarios and come out with the one that will work the best for real world. One of the best examples of software's used to simulate real world process is ProcessModel it comes with a free evaluation period.
