How did pictograph differ from a ideograph?

A pictograph is a visual translation of an object and Abstract ideas cannot have pictographs since they can't be visually translated. They are given a visual form by giving an 'idea' or an example of what they mean. For example the idea of barging in or to dash in can be represented by showing a horse running through a door. The character for 'to rush in ' is therefore 闖 or 闯. This is an ideogram.

When do you use a line graph?

Difference between turbulent flow and streamlined flow?

Streamline flow:

The flow of a fluid is said to be streamline (also known as steady flow or laminar flow), if every particle of the fluid follows exactly the path of its preceding particle and has the same velocity as that of its preceding particle when crossing a fixed point of reference.

Turbulent flow:

The flow of a fluid is said to be turbulent or disorderly, if its velocity is greater than its critical velocity. Critical velocity of a fluid is that velocity up to which the fluid flow is streamlined and above which its flow becomes turbulent. When the velocity of a fluid exceeds the critical velocity, the paths and velocities of the fluid particles begin to change continuously and haphazardly. The flow loses all its orderliness and is called turbulent flow.
