Is a parabola formed when a plane slices through a double cone perpendicular to the bases of the cone?
No. A hyperbola is formed when a plane slices a cone perpendicular to the bases.
What is the figure called formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone?
A parabola is the figure formed by the intersection of a circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone. (the cone does not have to be a right [90°] circular cone).
What is a circle shape cut from a cone?
It is a section formed by a plane at right angles to the axis of the cone.
What causes cone of depression in wells?
The weight of the atmosphere presses down on the groundwater in the well
When will a cone of depression stop enlarging?
A cone of depression will stop enlarging when the rate of groundwater extraction equals the rate of groundwater recharge in the aquifer. This occurs when the water table stabilizes as the inflow of water meets the outflow due to pumping. Factors such as geological conditions, distance from the pumping well, and the aquifer's permeability also influence this stabilization process. Once equilibrium is reached, the cone of depression will remain relatively constant in size.
