Definition for solution?

a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation or a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).


What are the advantages and disadvantages of conduction heat transfer method?

Conduction heat transfer involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles or objects. One advantage of conduction is its efficiency in transferring heat over short distances. However, a major disadvantage is its limitation in transferring heat over long distances, as it is a slower process compared to convection or radiation. Additionally, conduction is highly dependent on the material's conductivity, which can impact its effectiveness in heat transfer.


What type of heat transfer causes wind?

Electromagnetic waves from the sun heat the ground in a certain area, say, a parking lot. The hot parking lot transfers some of its heat to the air above it. Eventually, a "bubble" of warmer air is created and, since heat rises, it begins to ascend. When this happens, the cold air around the "bubble" of hot air rushes in to fill the space left by it. The rushing air is wind. (at least, that's what my 5th-grade textbook said)


Which of the following are the major ways that heat energy is transferred through earth system?

ConvectionHeat energy is transferred primarily by air movements, storms, and ocean currents. Since the earth is heated unevenly, the energy is redistributed. Air movements, otherwise called wind, are one important mechanism. Storms, which contain water vapor and water, also transfer heat. When water turns to water vapor it absorbs heat and when water vapor condenses to water, heat is released. Therefore, storms are important movers of heat. Ocean currents also transfer heat as cold currents move to warmer areas and warm currents move to colder areas.air movements, storms, and ocean currents


What kind of heat transfer causes earths major heat patterns?

Our planet is warmed by conduction (heat from the mantle below), convection (tropical heat is transferred to the poles by wind and currents) and radiation (primarily the warmth of the sun, though there's also radioactive decay occurring in our planet's core).

What are the three major mechanism of heat transfer?

The three major mechanisms of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


Which is the major stimulus for the thirst mechanism?

The major stimulus for the thirst mechanism is dehydration, which is when there is a decrease in fluid volume within the body. When the body detects dehydration, it signals the brain to activate the thirst mechanism, prompting the individual to drink fluids to restore proper hydration levels.


What functional group plays a major role in energy transfer?

The functional group that plays a major role in energy transfer is the phosphate group. This group is found in molecules like ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which carries energy within cells for various cellular processes.


Can it take you a year to complete your bachelor's degree if you already have an associate's degree?

If you transfer within the same major, it should take an additional two years.


What are the major characteristics of solids?

Solid in room temperature, resistant to heat


Can you transefer to a university with an AAA degree?

Yes you can. The associate of arts degree (AA) is typically designed to transfer to the four year colleges and universities. However, to transfer the credits full faith in credit, you will have to remain within the same major.


Which is a major distinction between a transposon and a retrotransposon?

A major distinction is that transposons move within the genome via a "cut and paste" mechanism, while retrotransposons use a "copy and paste" mechanism involving reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. Retrotransposons also contain a reverse transcriptase gene, which transposons lack.


What is a cooler?

Cooler is a major or home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to change the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling and sometimes heating depending on the air properties at a given time).


What are the three major modes of heat transfer?

The three major modes of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by direct contact of particles. Convection involves the movement of fluids or gases to transfer heat. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


How long does it take to get your bachelor's degree in sports medicine when you already have an associate's degree in massage therapy?

It depends on exactly which courses you have completed at the associate level, and how they fit in to the bachelor's degree. When students finish the associate degree within a transfer program, then transfer to a four year institution within the same major, it typically takes an additional two years. However, in your case this is not a transfer program, and I assume it is an associate of applied science degree. Thus, I would imagine while some courses would transfer, there will be few that do.

If you get an associate's degree in fire science do you still have to do four years to get a BA?

Not necessarily, there will be credits that will transfer toward the bachelor's degree. How many credits will transfer depends on the major you take at the four year institution. Typically, if you were to complete the associate degree in a transfer program, and you transfer to a four year college or university within the same program of study (major), then it would take an additional two years to complete the bachelor's degree. If not, then the institution you are transferring to, will pick apart those credits which are usable and disregarding those which are not. In any even, today completion is keen within most fields, thus it would be prudent to pursue the bachelor's degree regardless of the length of time.
