    Fairuz Dalilah Binti Abdul Rashid Are We Alone? : Discovering Life on Other Planets Habitable Zone and The Drake Equation A habitable zone‚ which is also known as the Goldilocks Zone‚ is basically a region where there is a probability in finding the extraterrestrial life. The finding is based on the temperature and the pressure of a certain planetary-mass objects. When the temperature is between 273K and 373K‚ there will be presence of water that can support the extraterrestrial life to live in

    To solve a system of equations by addition or subtraction (or elimination)‚ you must eliminate one of the variables so that you could solve for one of the variables. First‚ in this equation‚ you must look for a way to eliminate a variable (line the equations up vertically and look to see if there are any numbers that are equal to each other). If there is lets say a –2y on the top equation and a –2y on the bottom equation you could subtract them and they would eliminate themselves by equaling zero

    Reactions and Equations Science Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Answer Magnesium is very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed into air. Question 2: Write the balanced equation for the following

    Differential Equations Second Order Differential Equations Introduction In the previous chapter we looked at first order differential equations. In this chapter we will move on to second order differential equations. Just as we did in the last chapter we will look at some special cases of second order differential equations that we can solve. Unlike the previous chapter however‚ we are going to have to be even more restrictive as to the kinds of differential equations that we’ll look at

    Rational Equations Rational equations can be used to get a general idea about the rate at which a job can be completed.   This can be really useful for business owners and other areas of daily life. Here is an example: Scenario: Sue can paint the garage in 4 hours and Joe has carpal tunnel so he is slower and can paint the same garage in 6 hours.   How long (number of hours) will it take Sue and Joe to paint the garage if they work together? Solution: Sue can paint  of the garage in 1 hour.  Joe

    The reason why the Drake Equation is not a successful science is because it would be impossible to calculate some of the elements in the equation. The elements would take too long to get an accurate sample to give a scientifically sound explanation. For instance how would you calculate fi (the fraction of intelligent life forms)‚ how do you define intelligent? Is intelligent like you and I‚ is it like a bird or a rat‚ could it be a plant? There is no way to truly determine what counts and doesn’t

    of operations is a rule to clarify confusion that may occur in an equation that has multiple different operations. This rule of Order of Operations states we must solve a complex equation by complete the operations in this order: Parenthesis‚ Exponents‚ Multiplication‚ Division‚ Addition‚ and Subtraction. We can remember this by this mnemonic: Pink‚ Eyes‚ May‚ Doubt‚ Anyone’s‚ Style. *** This will happen if we take this equation and NOT follow the Order of Operation*** 4+ 2 x 3 = If I did not
