1 yard is 36 inches, 3 feet long or 914mm long (0.914 meters)
No its not. I bought a 55 inch led from walmart and it got messed up after having it for 3 years.
What is streaming an audio file?
That term is used when you receive data on the computer while you use it, as opposed to downloading a complete file and THEN using it. For example, when you listen to online radio, you don't need to download a complete MP3 (or similar) file first, to listen to it.
What are copper losses in a transformer?
Copper losses are purely voltage-drop losses (I squared R) caused by the resistance of the windings, as opposed to hysteresis losses and eddy current losses (so-called iron losses), which are magnetic in nature. They are called copper losses whether the winding conductors are made of copper or not, by the way.
Thermal is a type of scientific term used in science. It is usually connected with a word so as an example: thermal energy = a type of energy or thermal socks = warm socks. Eventually you'll notice thermal has almost always something to do with heat and temperature. If you want to know what Thermal energy exactly is look up on this website .... all this asked for is " what thermal is"
How does a schmitt trigger work?
The schmitt trigger is an electronic comparator that has a slightly different voltage (or current) threshold for turning on than it does for turning off. This means that, once it turns on, it sticks on until the input signal decreases somewhat below the original turn-on point, and vice versa, once it turns off, it sticks off until the input signal increases somewhat above the original turn-off point. This is called hysteresis, and it effectively debounces the input signal and prevents short cycling.
Can you double-click on a sheet tab to change the name of the tab?
you right click on the tab and it'll say rename then you rename it to what ever you want
Yes batteries are a form of electricity know as DC or Direct Current. Direct current is produced by such sources as batteries ,thermocouple's cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also be through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams. The electric charge flows in a constant direction, distinguishing it from alternating current or AC.
How do you upload videos from your flip cam?
1. plug in flip cam
2. click "select all" after the unsaved videos load
3. click the button on the bottom that says "save videos to computer"
Brief history
One of the very first implements to straighten hair was called the straightening comb. There appears to be some confusion about who actually invented it as this initially was attributed to Madam Walker way back in 1905. However, this is NOT true. She was responsible for producing many hair care products and in fact she was the first self made female millionaire in the USA. Although she did not invent the straightening comb she did popularize its use amongst black women who she taught how to use the device. There is much evidence to suggest that straightening combs, hot irons were available as far back as 1872. And it was around this time a person called Marcel Grateau (a Parisian) who started using heated rods to straighten hair. This tool helped straighten the hair and caused less damage than other hair straightening techniques.
Heated combs were also used throughout the early days. The comb was placed in a special warming device until heated to the right temperature and then pulled through the hair. I've read many a story about these early straighteners and my mom remembers many an hour spent in her kitchen surrounded by the smell of burnt hair and scalp. Thank god for the Sedu ceramic. Since the 1870's the use of different metals and materials have been tried and tested. Aluminium was used on early straighteners and metal was obviously used along the way too. Nowadays most manufacturers, like Sedu, use ceramic and tourmaline which give great results. I'm sure the next generation of hair straightener will be made from even more weird and wonderful materials. How's about Kryptonite?
There are a great many conductors in the world. These conductors can include musical conductors and electrical conductors for example.
How do you delete programs off of the TI-83?
Turn the calculator on and press 2nd, + (MEM), 2:Delete, 7:Prgm. This shows a list of all programs with the cursor pointed at the first one. Use the up- or down-arrow keys to place the cursor in front of the one you want to delete, then press ENTER. Repeat for all programs that are to be deleted. Turn the calculator on and press 2nd, + (MEM), 2:Delete, 7:Prgm. This shows a list of all programs with the cursor pointed at the first one. Use the up- or down-arrow keys to place the cursor in front of the one you want to delete, then press DEL. The calculator will then ask if you're sure you want to delete, so press 2:Yes. Repeat for all programs that are to be deleted.

Public television broadcasting made its appearance in 1929 when the BBC started their first service from London. It was only a part time service and was just a single channel, delivering news and public information content for the first year or two. By the early 1930s they had moved on to entertainment as well as news.
In America, it took a little longer to start public broadcasting. Although there were several demonstrations, it wasn't until 1939 that RCA launched North America's first service.
Can you replace a CR2016 battery with a CR2032?
Both batteries are the same diameter and the same voltage. The CR2032 is twice as thick as the CR2016 and has a larger ah capacity. If the extra thickness is not a problem, the CR2032 will be a good replacement for the CR2016. Some mounting methods are thickness specific and others are not!
The mic is right next to the headphone jack on the top left of the iPad.
1.5 x the number of cells
eg.
1.5 x 6 = 9v
Where did electricity originate from?
Once there was a huge meteor that hit the earth. It killed all the dinosaurs and also made a large ammount of electricity. That electricity is the origin of all of the electricity on earth.
Do name brand batteries last longer than off brand batteries?
Brand names do not perform any better than cheaper brands. The only important factor in selecting batteries is that they are labeled as alkaline batteries and are not heavy duty. Heavy duty batteries are made poorly and don't last very long.
There were many inventions in the 1990's Infact it was a decade of important inventions.
The year 1990 itself led to one of the biggest inventions the world had seen The WWW or World Wide Web which was born under the brilliance of Tim Berners Lee.
1992 - Smart Pill was invented.
1994 - HIV Protease invented.
1996 - Web TV invented
1997 - The fuel cell was invented.
Where is the best place to buy a ps3?
A lot of places! You can buy it online, or you can go to your local Walmart or Kmart. You can also buy a ps3 80GB at pretty much any store that sells video games such as FYE, gamestop... ect.
How do you get your parents to get you a iPad?
if you don't have a computer, it can be used as a coomputer. it has a ton of education apps built to help u learn and study. it helps you become more organized because it comes with an application that allows you to jot dcown notes, and a great calendar that lets you input dates and important occasions. and its only 499 for the 16gb. which is pretty good for a laptop. it has 10 hours of battery too
Who invented the electrostatic generator?
Otto Von Guericke was one of the first to experiment with the concept of electricity and created a Madgeburg vacuum in 1663, which became known as the first electrostatic generator. The generator itself consisted of a rotating ball of sulfur. Rubbing the ball produced friction that converted into electrostatic energy.
Advantages of disadvantages of technology on environment?
In a technological environment, a lot can be achieved without the use of body strength. Technological environments are good for factory and production where there is a large quantity of similar items needed. Its disadvantages, however, include reduced productivity in case of power outages and sabotage. High technology environments also need proper training before work begins.
