Topology
While geometry is primarily concerned with the mathematical properties of spatial objects, topology is concerned with the mathematical properties of those objects under continuous deformations. Please post all questions about topological subjects like homeomorphisms, manifolds, convergence, and connectedness, as well as their broad applications in computing, physics, and graph theory, into this category.

Why is star topology the best topology?
Star topology is considered as best due to the following reasons
1.There is a central hub in which each individual system is connected.Suppose if one system fails it does not affect other system.This is the major advantage of star topology.
2.Secondly,it requires minimum cabling for the network
What is the term network topology mean?
Network topology is the way a computer network is set up and arranged, Examples for possible topologies include ring, star, bus, and line. Each of these topologies have their advantages and disadvantages, with star being the most common in today's world.
What are the characteristics of the bus topology?
Two words: cheap and easy. Having only one main cable connecting all of the stations together drastically reduces the time and cost of installation and makes troubleshooting particularly easy.
Does a baseball curve better at the top of a high mountain or down on a flat plain and explain?
A baseball will curve better down on a flat plain (at lower elevation above sea level). This is because the curving is caused by the ball contacting the air and pushing the ball in a particular direction. A ball's particular spin, speed, how the ball's stitches meet the air, etc will determine specifically how it will change direction when the air pushes against it. Imagine a baseball thrown in a vacuum where there is no air. The ball would not curve at all because there is no air to push on it. The ball would continue on a straight path, influenced only by gravity pulling it downwards. On a mountaintop, there is less air in a given volume of space than there is on a flat plain (at a lower elevation). Therefore, there will be less air to push on a thrown baseball when it is thrown on a mountaintop. Since there is less air to push on it, it will curve less well when thrown on the mountaintop. So it will curve better when thrown down on a flat plain.
an isometric sketch is a 3D drawing of different regular prisms that are often drawn on isometric dot paper isometric sketches are useful for planing enginering basic items.
Are weight and mass he same thing?
No. The relationship is:
weight = mass x gravity
Mass causes both weight, and inertia. Weight is the force of attraction by gravity, and also depends on the gravitational field, not just on the mass.
For more information, check the Wikipedia article "Mass versus weight".
Which physical topology uses the same communications line is used to connect all nodes?
logical channel
What are the protocols used in a bus topology?
In a bus topology, data transmission typically uses protocols such as Ethernet, specifically the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol. This protocol allows devices to detect when the bus is free and transmit data while monitoring for collisions. If a collision occurs, devices stop transmitting and wait for a random time before attempting to resend. Other protocols, like Token Ring, can also be adapted for bus topologies, but CSMA/CD is the most common.
What components does a ring topology require?
A ring topology requires several key components: network devices (such as computers and printers) that are connected in a circular fashion, a network interface card (NIC) in each device to enable communication, and cabling to connect each device to its two adjacent devices in the ring. Additionally, a token-passing mechanism may be used to control data transmission, ensuring that only one device sends data at a time to prevent collisions. This setup allows for efficient data transfer but can be disrupted if any single device or connection fails.
