Difference between a modem and a router:

While both a modem and a router help your devices
connect to the internet, they have separate (and
complementary) functions. A modem is a box that
connects your home network to your internet service
provider, or ISP. A router is a box that lets all of your wired

Which is the fastest mode of data transfer? by adding the number of neutrons and the number of
Direct Memory Access (DMA) protons (atomic number) together.
Mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
DMA is a method to transfer data between the device and
computer memory without the involvement of the CPU.
This method makes DMA the fastest available data What is an atomic number and mass number?

What is Goodyear Blimp filled with what gas?
What is a blimp filled with? | Airships.net
helium
A blimp's shape is maintained by the pressure of the gases
within its envelope; a blimp has no rigid internal structure,
so if a blimp deflates, it loses its shape. Modern blimps,
like the Goodyear Blimp, are filled with helium, which is
non-flammable and safe but expensive.

An extensive property is a property that depends on

the amount of matter in a sample. Mass and volume
are examples of extensive properties. An intensive
property is a property of matter that depends only on
the type of matter in a sample and not on the amount.

A property of a system, whose magnitude depends

upon the amount of matter, is known as extensive
property. Properties like mass, volume, internal energy,
heat content, free energy, enthalpy, entropy, heat
