21.
Define
computer hardware? List any two hardware used in daily life along their
functions.
Answer:
Computer Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system or any
electronic device. It includes all the tangible parts that you can touch and
see, such as the computer's central processing unit (CPU), keyboard, monitor,
hard drive, motherboard, and peripherals like printers and speakers.
Examples:
A monitor,
also called a Visual Display Unit (VDU), is the most common output
device of a computer. It displays processed data as text, images,
graphics, and videos on the screen. The output seen on a monitor is known
as a soft copy because it is temporary and can only be viewed on screen.
A keyboard is
the most common input device used to enter text, numbers, symbols, and commands
into a computer. Most common layout = QWERTY (named after first six keys
on top row). A standard keyboard has 104 keys (more in multimedia keyboards),
grouped into alphabet keys, numeric keys, cursor movement keys, function keys,
and special purpose keys
22.
Study the
given script carefully and answer the following questions:
·
a. How many
steps does the sprite move each time inside the loop?
Answer: 5 steps.
·
b. Why is the
wait 0.1 seconds block important in this code?
Answer: It
ensures that the sprite doesn’t move too fast and allows us to see its
movement.
·
c. What change
would you make to gradually increase the speed of the sprite after each bounce?
Answer: You
could decrease the wait time or increase the number of steps after each bounce.
·
d. Why is the
forever loop used instead of a repeat loop in this program?
Answer: The
forever loop allows the sprite to continuously repeat the action without
stopping, which is ideal for this scenario.
