if FT says both are systems; I guess it’s better to understand from the teacher why it is so.

According to FT, plastic bag has 2 parts.. one is compartment & the other is handle.
For paper clip, we need 2 ends to clip a paper.

I thought for it to be called a system, we need at least 2 different ( physical ) parts .
:?

Can someone kindly help me with this question on Material:

Ships are made of heavy metals such as steel. Explain why they are able to float. TIA

[ttyh]

Pls help;

Draw a simple diagram to show life cycle of a garlic bulb.
I googled and cant find any good answer!! HELP…

A ship can float because the total volume of the ship is very big, which is made up of the steel and the air space in the ship. This increase in volume of the ship makes the mass per unit volume (called density) of a ship smaller than the mass per unit volume of water. For example, 1 cubic metre of water weighs 1 ton. If 1 cubic metre of a ship is say 0.5 ton, than the ship will float.

When the air space inside the ship is replaced by cargoes, the density of the ship will increase because cargoes is heavier than air. So a ship can only be loaded to a limit where the density i.e. 1 cubic metre must be less than 1 ton. Otherwise it will sink.

In short, a ship is able to float because a large part of its volume is filled with air, which is much lighter than water.

Thanks! Hope my dd can understand this.

Hi!

Anyone tell me what are needed for mould growing?
Is that moist,air and warmth?

My DD1's answer:
Mould is an example of Fungi.
Fungi grow in moist and shady places.
They do not need the Sun in order to grow.

Need experts to verify her answer too! Appreciates.

:thankyou:
