What is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but that is not parallel to an edge of the cone?
The "conic section" that is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but that is not parallel to an edge of the cone is known as an ellipse. In the case where the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the ellipse becomes a circle.
What is a closed plane figure but not a polygon?
Any closed figure that is not entirely composed of straight sides, such as an ellipse or a circle.
What shape is produced if a right circular cone is intersected by a plane that goes through both nappes of the cone but not through the vertex?
An Ellipse
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that passes through one of its nappes but the plane is neither parallel to the edge of the cone nor perpendicular to the cone's axis the resulting curve w?
ellipse
Can the foci of an ellipse can be outside the ellipse?
No. Both foci are always inside the ellipse, otherwise you don't have an ellipse.
An ellipse in the plane has how many degrees of freedom?
five; they are: position, orientation, shape, and scale
How many degrees of freedom does a joint in a plane truss has?
3
How many degrees in an ellipse?
360 degrees.
Do ballistic galvanometers have one degree of freedom?
no, it has two degrees of freedom. because it can rotate through X,Y plane.
Is the Moon's orbit around the earth completely straight?
No, the moon's orbit is an approximation of an ellipse. The plane of this ellipse is tilted by about 5.14 degrees, which is why we don't get lunar and solar eclipses every month. The ellipse also has irregularities causing it to deviate from a true ellipse due to perturbations in earth's gravity field, tidal movement of the oceans, and the gravity of other objects (particularly the sun).
How do you use the word ellipse in a sentence?
Ben drew an ellipse as a plane curve with edges not parallel to its axis.
What is the name of a closed plane figure that is not as round as a circle?
An ellipse.
What are the 5 plane figures?
There are infinitely many plane figures, not just five! A circle, ellipse, A triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, and on and on. And then there are mixed figures such as a semicircle, a segment of an ellipse. Not forgetting plane figures that have "random" boundaries.
How many degrees of freedom exist for a new circle in a sketch?
A circle on it's own has 3 degrees of freedom. One being the radius/diameter of the circle and the remaining two being the X and Y coordinates of the midpoint.and.....I LIKE APPLES For futher inquiry Feature Degrees of freedom Circle 3 Line 4 Circular Arc 5 Ellipse 5 Elliptical Arc 7
Is ellipse a polygon?
No it cannot. A polygon is a plane space enclosed by straight lines. An ellipse consists of a curved line, not straight lines.
What are the difference between static degrees of freedom and dynamic degrees of freedom?
Mass and damping are associated with the motion of a dynamic system. Degrees-of-freedom with mass or damping are often called dynamic degrees-of-freedom; degrees-of-freedom with stiffness are called static degrees-of-freedom. It is possible (and often desirable) in models of complex systems to have fewer dynamic degrees-of-freedom than static degrees-of-freedom.
What are conics?
Conics, or conic sections, are the intersection of a plane with an infinite double cone. If that plane cuts both cones, it is a hyperbola. If it is parallel to the edge of the cone, you get a parabola. If neither is the case, it is an ellipse. The ellipse is also a circle if the plane is perpendicular to the altitude of the cone. Note that none of these are the case if the plane passes through the vertex of the cone.
